Tonight watching the 2003 original mini series that kicked off Battlestar Galactica series that followed.

Kinda amazing at how well it holds up - editing, pacing, production design and practical effects, incredible acting and world buildingโ€ฆeven the 2003 cgi effects arenโ€™t distracting at worst and at best shots still impressive. Well done.

Hey @profgalloway - I know you had a mastodon account for a short bit, but given that you are now active on Threads, can you turn on Fediverse sharing ? One setting change & then folks on Mastodon, Flipboard, and other fediverse platforms can also follow your threads account from there too. One click in settings = greater social reach.

Lots of us over there would love to follow this account from there, too.

Am voting by mail tomorrow. Hope we see one more poll showing who is the stronger candidate against Hogan. But my current lean is toward Angela Alsobrook....

I'll take "all time low for four years" as good news.

Given the severity of the attack, and attempted kidnapping, that feels easily just.

The thing I dislike most about the Threads algo is how it drops people from my feed for weeks on end. I'll randomly see someone I haven't in a while and get excited to welcome them back, only to realize they've been active this whole time.

This doesn't happen when I catch up on Threads using Phanpy, my Mastodon client, but not everyone has their Fedi switch on so I come here to catch up on those posts. Sad to see I'm still losing out.

Anyway, I hope more people turn on Fediverse Threads ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

timothyjchambers,

You'll notice a pattern, it's fully selfish: folks it's folks I'm very glad to follow here, and like you mentioned, following on Mastodon is another great plus from a UX standpoint.

And I've been very happy to see the percentage of big accounts that have turned on Fediverse sharing when you simply ask them to, say why it helps and link to articles like the @verge example that show how to do it.

And the Brain Worm hits keep coming: not sure it helps as a Presidential candidate to joke about having voices in your head generating bad thoughts.

RFK Jr: "I'm hoping that that worm, whatever it was, ate all the parts of my brain that generate bad thoughts. Bon Appetit!"

Uh...not sure this is helping him:

"My brainworm wrote some jokes for me. He's very funny. He's got a lot of information. This is where I get a lot of my facts. A lot of his stuff is conspiracy theory. You have to filter that out. He's very funny."

โ€œIn 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new.

In the past week alone, we've had conversations with Mastodon, Flipboard, The Verge, Buttondown, WriteFreely, and several co-authors of the ActivityPub spec.โ€ Fediverse Threads

Threads is becoming "fun" in a way that early Twitter was before it degraded into X.

From my main Mastodon account. All the various types of accounts I list in that post will all be first-class accounts on Threads too, once it fully federates. To the great benefit of all the platforms that connect to each other.

Fediverse Threads

timothyjchambers,

This is another very strong argument for Threads to support lists (which I know is in the works) so once Threads federates fully users here could do something akin to what I'm doing on Mastodon - creating Threads lists for the various types of Federated accounts (blogs, podcasts, etc)....

timothyjchambers,

Welcome to the fedierse - and thanks @pcottle !

Itโ€™s officially official! Starting this month, my team has transitioned over to being a Threads team! ๐Ÿงต๐ŸŽ‰

Our mission is to make Threads as best as it possibly can be, focusing primarily on Japan, but ultimately for the world! ๐Ÿ’ช

Iโ€™m personally very excited to be a part of this. Threads is such a fast growing app, and it has been fascinating seeing it evolve in such a small amount of time. ๐Ÿคฉ

If you have any suggestions/feedback for Threads, always feel free to ping me about it. Cheers! โœŒ๏ธ

timothyjchambers,

Congrats!

@rfk.jr.brain.worm - you have to turn on Fediverse sharing for your Threads account - there are over 11 million folks on Mastodon and other networks that would love to follow your account too. With one click your posts would go there too.

@scottderrickson - could you go to threads setting and turn on Fediverse sharing ? With one click that will allow your posts to be seen across Mastodon, Flipboard and other open social web platforms too. Many of us there would love to follow this account that way also!

For day two of the TrumpTrialNY and I continue to find breaking news and real time updates working just fine on Threads.

Perhhps it helps that I follow and engage with posts from @gtconway3 @gtconway3dg @katiephang @norm.eisen @weissmann11 @yonetteajoseph and follow almost every mainstream news source on Threads.

timothyjchambers,

Note: should have said, "Day Two of the Stormy Daniels Testimony at the Trump Trial..."
