MAKING THE FEDIPACT WEBSITE MORE ACCESSIBLE

some accessibility concerns with https://fedipact.online have been brought to my attention and i'm working on addressing them. more specifically, the readability of the color contrast and the animations

i wanna put a button on there that flips the text and background colors, making it hot pink on black, and disables the animated floating hearts (they're already disabled if the user has "reduced motion" on)

i just... don't have the web design skills necessary to do so lol. BUT someone else is working on it!!! so it should be fixed and better soonsies

thanks to everyone who pointed this out :heart_cyber_pink:​

meta just showed off threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time

"during the fediforum conference, meta demonstrated what it might look like to toggle on fediverse sharing and post across multiple platforms"

me, vanta, trans enby girl polyam lesbian gender terrorist: "people should block threads because it will make fedi unsafe for queer people"

the verge, for some reason: "OBVIOUSLY it's a bunch of NERD BOYS trying to keep the WOMEN out"

#FediPact #meta #threads

video from the "Meta and Reddit prove the social web is over" episode of the vergecast where they talk about fedipact and say it's all just a bunch of "dude nerds" trying to keep women out because "no girls allowed"

why should we federate with them when...

"extreme anti-trans hate content remains widespread across instagram, facebook, and threads. characterized by fear-mongering, lies, conspiracy theories, dehumanizing tropes, and violent rhetoric, these posts — many by high-follower accounts — aim to boost engagement, generate revenue, and seed hateful narratives about trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people. these accounts profit from such hate, and so does meta and its shareholders"

Demigodrick https://fedipact.online/ Warning: very bright WizzCaleeba@lemm.ee Eyes have to adjust after looking at that site Demigodrick Everything looks wrong for a minute or two afterwards I can only hope that in some senior Meta management meeting they pulled this website up as an issue/concern, and a bunch of overpaid middle managers had to stare at the pinkness for hours upon end in a depressing corporate boardroom.

with the nefarious behemoth known as "threads" looming over the horizon, threatening to encroach upon our homes more and more each day, ask YOUR instance admin about signing the pact and committing to defederating it today!!!!!

ACCESSIBILITY CHANGES TO THE FEDIPACT WEBSITE

thanks to feedback and help from peeps on here i've made some changes to https://fedipact.online to fix some accessibility issues with the previous version of the site

🖤 there's now a toggle button to swap the background and text (dark mode), and it respects the user's system preference on first load

🖤 there's another toggle button for the animated floating hearts, in addition to them being off if the user has "reduced motion" enabled

🖤 the heart bullet points are formatted properly now so each individual one isn't read out repetitively by screenreaders

🖤 links are now underlined to be obvious as links

if there's any other changes you can think of to make the fedipact experience better for everyone, feel free to send them my way 😁

what if i signed up for the next FediForum to talk about FediPact and why people should defederate threads lmao

i think there'll be one more this year before threads fully federates

that would be funny probably

BAN FUCKING NAZIS

it's such a low godddamn bar to clear

and yet, by and large, the fediverse is the only major social media platform that actually manages to do this (the decent sections of it, at least)

why? well, here's the big secret: BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PROFIT

big companies allow nazis to fester on their services because it makes them money, and here we're not beholden to such a corrupting influence. that's kinda the entire point

Why Meta is looking to the fediverse as the future for social media

“You could imagine an extension to the protocol eventually — of saying like, ‘I want to support micropayments,’ or … like, ‘hey, feel free to show me ads, if that supports you.’ Kind of like a way for you to self-label or self-opt-in. That would be great,” Cottle noted, speaking casually. Whether or not Meta would find a way to get a cut of those micropayments, of course, remains to be seen.

threads is paying people to post with their "bonus program" and yes ofc it's scummy lmao

The Threads bonus is an invite-only bonus program that lets you earn money on your Threads content... Based on the performance [and] number of posts you create.

is this really the vibe we want them bringing to the fediverse???

How Threads will integrate with the Fediverse

• December 2023 – A user will be able to opt in via the Threads app to have their posts visible to Mastodon clients. People would be able to reply and like those posts using their Mastodon clients, but those replies and likes would not be visible within the Threads application. Threads users would not be able to follow or see posts published across Mastodon servers, or reply to them or like then.
• Early 2024 (Part One) – the Like counts on the Threads app would combine likes from Mastodon and Threads users
• Early 2024 (Part Two) – replies posted on Mastodon servers would be visible in the Threads application
• Late 2024 – A “mixed” Fediverse and Threads experience where you will be able to follow Mastodon users within Threads, and reply to them and like them
• TBD – Full blended interoperability between Threads and Mastodon

i think the most annoying thing about this whole discourse is that people refuse to judge threads by the standard of any other fedi instance

like if a mastodon instance got set up and federated right now and it allowed the shit threads allowed it'd be widely defederated IMMEDIATELY

there are accounts literally CALLING FOR THE DEATHS OF QUEER PEOPLE on there right fucking now

the only reason people are even willing to give them a chance is because it's a big corpo, but that should only be reason to give them less of one lmao. especially considering meta's history in particular

don't let them lower the bar for moderation standards here

FEDI PACT FUN FACT

if you're wondering why i didn't choose a more appropriate domain for https://fedipact.online

it's because i only had like $2 in my bank account when i was setting everything up lmao 😂

i picked what was cheap but relatively appropriate
