I just realized that #GhostCMS being compatible with #ActivityPub (and possibly #ATProtocol / #Bluesky at a later date) means that it will probably be possible to tag somebody directly in a newsletter post, via their #Mastodon or #Threads profile for instance.
Mi modesta opinión:
Que #Threads sea interoperable con plataformas del #Fediverso con #ActivityPub no la convierte en una plataforma del Fediverso. Porque el Fediverso, por su naturaleza, es una plétora de plataformas alternativas, descentralizadas, autónomas y FLOSS, con una ética antagónica a la de Zuckerberg. Threads es una red corporativa de Meta y no encaja en el Fediverso, aunque se conecte a él. Es como un fan del reguetón en un concierto punk porque le regalaron una entrada.
It feels like @zuck is fucking with me. By rolling out federation, #threads becomes THE place for journalists to leave #xitter for. So of course #meta is doing everything possible to discourage conversation about the news there. It will never be the place for community without group functionality, and it won't serve influencers when people can avoid ads and algos but keep their social graph. #AttentionDemocracy
My first impressions with the #Fediverse, #Flipboard and #activitypub. I am still feeling my way around the environment. I am not thrilled about having so many accounts all over the place and it doesn’t seem like they are all connected. I would eventually like to see a seamless connection between my Flipboard magazines, my Flipboard account, my mastodon account and my threads account. I would like to get to a place where I can communicate with my followers and build meaningful #communities
In order for the open social web to happen at scale, lots of companies and apps, big and small, need to adopt #ActivityPub. Threads is the largest player so far to do this and the implications are huge.
Why is #Threads doing this? Is federation just another feature or is it foundational to their entire experience? How is the Threads team thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward?
I asked @rklambo and @pcottle, two thoughtful and genuine leaders on the Threads team who joined me on the latest episode of #DotSocial. Check it out on our #PeerTube instance or wherever you get your podcasts.
I've read a few posts recently from people who lament that 1) they miss their Twitter friends and 2) they couldn't convince them to follow them over to here.
I've spent a little more time exploring the other networks lately and I've found my old Twitter gang.
They're on #Threads. A lot of them are still on Twitter, but it looks like they're slowly drifting over to Threads as their platform of choice.
#Threads reminds you after 30 days of sharing to the fediverse that you’re doing it and gives the option to go turn it off if you don’t want it anymore.
Threads has added achievement badges during special events. I wondered if the fediverse has similar and sure enough there are ideas around this! I know Sharkey has achievements but not sure they are federated.
I never realized how close the Kurils are to Japan. Leaving aside, y’know, all of Russian and Japanese history prior to 1945, no wonder the Americans were so keen on becoming friends with Japan after the war.
Even if we definitely should have insisted on more trials of murderers and criminals like Shiro Ishii.
And give away the American bias of this documentary by not mentioning how #Threads preceded #TheDayAfter or how it completely fucking shattered the minds of everyone in the UK.
So. I'm thinking of leaving #hachyderm for an instance that blocks #threads. I've read the reasons, and it's not enough to play in the same waters as the evilcorp that is meta.
Suggestions? Tech centric, inclusive, progressive is what I'm looking for.
Recording videos on building a small project /threads page on my site, where I want to display some featured posts that I write from here. I'll keep videos unlisted until I complete the series then will decide if I like the video format or just convert them into... text 😄
