I will try to reintroduce them to the #Fediverse, but this time promote #Misskey & #Calckey as viable options.
I believe the window of opportunity for this will be short, as I assume (I have not evidence for this, so be skeptical) Threads will launch managed hosting options within months of entering the Fediverse.
@darnell One reason I don’t entirely trust the Fediverse purists is due to how they treated #BlackTwitter when the #TwitterMigration was in full swing. And it’s why these jackasses should never be entrusted as gatekeepers.
@atomicpoet Yeah, I am highly suspicious of anything #Meta does nowadays. I think that is one of the reasons why they are building #Threads, as it is an attempt to regain trust with half of the planet who hates them.
I noticed that Threads also uses #Instagram as a login & not #Facebook (which probably shows how much people hate Facebook).
So here’s an interesting question. If you had an unlimited budget, and kickass designers at your disposal, what do you think would be the perfect Fediverse platform for #BlackTwitter? What would this look like?
@atomicpoet Oh wow! That is a good question. I am not sure about North America, but I did buy up several .africa domains & I have been pondering about setting up #Fediverse instances to serve non-English communities in #Africa (they would be based upon languages, culture & tribes).
I was debating about hiring developers & designers from AfriBlocks (https://www.afriblocks.com) to build it too. Hosting would legally be tricky though, as every country has different laws.
@atomicpoet interesting question! If i would be based on current platforms, either existing or in development, I'd have to go with something that looks like Bonfire. Their custom boundaries, that give granular control of who can see and respond to post, would seem to be to be valuable to a lot of people, and most definitely including #blacktwitter
@darnell@atomicpoet The thing that appeals to me besides quote posting is a greater than 500 character posts. I’m on calckey.art too, where there’s, I think, a 3000 character limit for posts. I get a little long winded at times and 1000-1500 character ramblings is nice to have.
@orthoheterodox1 With the amount of annoying screen shots to newsy events I see on my #Instagram page, I am very sure #Threads will be a hit. I plan on opening an account as well & promote posts from #Misskey & #Pixelfed.
