fedi, 10 months ago to technology in Meta's upcoming AcitivityPub-enabled app Threads will only come with an "import from Mastodon" option. The new network won't federate on day one.

'no proof anyone signed anything'
I don't know exactly what kind of proof you expect.

I agree that it could be more clearly explained. There was a fair bit of discussion on 'Mastodon' about it so some of that context might not be clear.

Re the donation links. It is quite common for people who show up on the fediverse and put in some work to ask for donations.

I mean it is a attempt to rally community to a cause but it was put together by one person off their own bat.

@Kaldo it was put together by VantaBlack. I'm fairly sure most of the people who signed up to it do take it seriously.

@14specks
the person behind the feditips mastodon account is, I am fairly sure a different person. But it is a pseudonymous account, so in theory it could be.

@Labotomized
BBS - bulletin board system

1970s-80s
a person would run a server (often from home) and people would dial in over a regular phone line and browse the forum(bbs) and leave a text message. If you had one phone line only one person could log in at a time. you might wait weeks for someone to reply to your message. Both ends needed a modem to encode decode from digital to analog and back.

fedi, 11 months ago to bestoflemmy in YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content - Lemmy.world

@Jaluvshuskies yes federation is when users on a kbin website(instance) can talk to users on a totally different kbin instance. The protocol used is called ActivityPub.

But more than that it is also when a kbin user can talk to a lemmy user. Both are parts of the threadiverse (before kbin it was mostly called the lemmyverse).

The microverse (more usually called mastodon) can also interact with the threadiverse because of federation using ActivityPub.

In fact this reply is from a mastodon
