⚠️ threads’ fediverse beta opens to share your posts on mastodon, too ⚠️

"threads is rolling out a beta of its fediverse integration in the us, canada, and japan. in a post on thursday, meta ceo mark zuckerberg announced that toggling on the feature will let you cross-post and view likes from other federated platforms, like mastodon."

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

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 😁

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:​

my new favorite thing is people on lemmy talking about the design of https://fedipact.online lmao

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.

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

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"
