This doesn’t make sense. You don’t have to be on an instance that federates with Threads or any corporation. You as a user can also block domains. You don’t have to leave and can still enjoy the space on your terms

That’s not how Bluesky does it. Sure it empowers users which is great but if there is a PDS for example with lolicon, one I don’t see it making past the content filters but if it did the BGS/Relay would blacklist that PDS

That’s not even remotely true . If you block the instance it prevents your content from being shared with the blocked domain and you do not view content from that domain.

Thank you. People on the Fedi fail to realise how similar they are to the places they call out. This disinformation and misinformation is insane. People don’t care to be accurate nor honest. I don’t get how anyone can attempt to claim any moral superiority

If @mastodon becomes thread-like, I'll leave social network forever. I'm done with meta wanting to control everything, chiefly the freedom of speech in a network used to communicate. I mean, really? The upsidedown World.

David Revoy made a picture... (stockage.framapiaf.org)

The recent excitement surrounding Thread’s arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don’t roll out the red carpet for them....

A small Mastodon mascot is happy to roll out a red carpet to welcome the footsteps of Meta; a representation of the death, a skeleton in a black robe with a scythe. This one has a head band with the Meta logo, and a keychain with large logo of What's App, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. The skeletons walks happily while hidding the scythe on their back. This is a representation of how naive the tiny Mastodon can be. License: CC-By David Revoy.

Find several articles that aren’t blogposts that point to XMPP being dead because of Google

@dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s nonsense and you know it. Pull up real history of XMPP. XMPP was little known before Google and afterwards. That’s such a piss poor example

@dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml avatar

Nonsense. Even those of us who are on the Fedi most of the people we know are on the large platforms. They’re not forming new relationships. The point stands of the person you replied to, they would just continue using Big Social platforms. There’s 1.2 MAU which is nothing compared to all of Meta’s large platforms not even a blip. They’re not trying to steal Mastodon users

It’s already irrelevant, it’s never been. The Fediverse is well over a decade old and most people don’t know it exists.

That’s cool but that doesn’t answer the question

I keep seeing this nonsense take. Please tell me how Threads will EEE a federated social network? It would take adoption and compliance. Whenever I see people put this take it tells me they don’t trust people of the Fedi and they don’t believe in the Fedi. Threads can’t force any implementation on the Fediverse. If Threads does anything that those that attempted to give it a fair chance doesn’t like then it will be blocked. It will be no different than Gab with the exception of it having more of our friends, relatives and people we like to follow

dameoutlaw,

That makes no sense. Since September Threads has been near 100m users. They don’t need the users from Mastodon nor the Fediverse. A good number of instances have already blocked Threads and are against big platforms. This falls under my point that people don’t trust the people here, if you believe people will be enticed or get “used to” content enough to go to Threads you are stating you don’t trust them. People can downvote me all the way, yet no one came out with a reasonable rebuttal to what I said. I believe in the foundations here, defederation and others. Threads will already be insanely massive. It’s not lacking content that was the case 2-3 months ago but not now. Threads wants in on the Fediverse not for content, not the small number of users. It’s to avoid government bodies and antitrust. They like that moderation is split amongst communities.

dameoutlaw,
@dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml avatar

I didn’t say not trust Threads users. I’m saying they do not trust Fediverse users. What I mean is that in order for Threads to EEE it would take adoption and compliance. It would take the masses here being too entangled with Threads that even if they do things people don’t like, those instances & users will simply start using Threads or bend completely to their will. Otherwise, people will block Threads and operate as usual. That’s what I believe will happen but many don’t.

dameoutlaw,
@dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t see that happening. As long as those that taint Mastodon’s reputation are kept away things will be fine. “True believers” do not want more of everyone and that is part of the problem. People have various social needs that many on Mastodon don’t care about nor respect. If Threads wins them over by being more welcoming and accepting that says a lot. But, I must be fair. I have seen improvement within the culture and people actively working to be more open to others . I care more about users having their needs met than any one specific platform.

This makes zero sense as the Fediverse uses algorithms. Hell, just go to Mastodon’s explore page. When people make this comment it also shows their believe in the Fediverse is phony. Big Social has incentives to keep people locked in and showing specific posts primarily for ad dollars. The Fediverse has no such incentive, thus them providing an option for users to see more custom content is a good thing. The beauty of the Fediverse is that it can provide optional experiences to all its members that better suits their individual needs.

This is unfortunate. Artemis is beautiful and a good app. I hope that the dev is okay. Hopefully, she can return or make the code openly available.

It’s not brand new. Mastodon is nearly 8 years old and ActivityPub 5-6 years old. It’s still early but I wouldn’t call it brand new

Mastodon and today's fediverse are unsafe by design and unsafe by default (privacy.thenexus.today)

Even though millions of people left Twitter in 2023 – and millions more are ready to move as soon as there’s a viable alternative – the fediverse isn’t growing.1 One reason why: today’s fediverse is unsafe by design and unsafe by default – especially for Black and Indigenous people, women of color, LGBTAIQ2S+...

Why not use Admin/moderator roles that way it’s not too confusing and having multiple admins roles with various permissions?
