Doesn't support it yet. There's been murmuring that they want to support it, but I'm of the "I'll believe it when I see it" opinion that most of that was just empty promises. I'd like to be proven wrong though!
I've been using Brave on my Windows install. I think it's OK compared to Firefox, but I can't help but feel like all the UI and terminology is very "crypto" tailored.
Anyway, I think this feature is a good idea. I didn't even realize this was a big problem with modern OSes. Out of curiosity, do port scanning features like this escape application sandboxes? (Like flatpak, docker containers, etc?)
I agree with this. I think if you don't agree but don't feel so strongly to let others know you disagree, just skip voting.
With that being said, something people should consider are the bad-faith actors who will track communities and harass individuals who engage in downvoting -- this is something that will indeed be a problem for more hot button issues or politically motivated posting.
To be fair, federated social media is a very different "beast". I wouldn't say that I want all social media to go away myself, but I think the idea of monopolistic ad-driven social media (what I now call corporate social media) is harmful to society, doesn't scale well to the larger world and importantly doesn't condone meaningful discussion. In that regard, I could say that I don't want corporate social media or at least want that experience to be partly sandboxed.
The "no moat" is the theme of this year's internet and is the real reason why reddit introduced a fee for their API (despite not telling people that directly, in fear of looking greedy) and Twitter heavily rate limiting their content (to slow down AI scraping from their "competitors")
The irony is that their obsession with keeping their current database private, they've essentially removed a large chunk of their existing userbase who are generating new content. They're going to have to hope that AI can procedurally create new content for them and that (importantly) people are interested in reading non-humans talk about anything.

Because it's a big waste of time and won't get anywhere. The fact that mastodon has been a thing since 2018 (or earlier) unopposed means that they will have a really hard time proving that they ever had any trade ownership over the concept of microblogging.

I haven't seen any federated content at all today short of a few posts here or there. I expected to see more from beehaw but I haven't seen much at all.
There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.
I’ve mostly left reddit and switched to beehaw, but I posted on somewhat of a niche tech-related subreddit today since there really isn’t a community for that here yet. And wow, I got instantly downvoted twice and the first comment response was rude and hostile. All I posted was a feature suggestion for software that I...
In general I will say that I find federated services to be more reasonable and willing to discuss topics without going down the path of pure hostility when compared to corporate social media. It also helps when you have active moderation teams that actively believe in the service their using and police bad behavior!
I've noticed that if I go to my subscriptions page I don't see any of the magazines I've subscribed to that are off-site (for example, beehaw.org posts and articles)...
I think it looks alright; I don't think comedy shows tend to "trailer" very well though so whether or not the jokes land better or worse by the time it airs is very much in the air still.
They were too busy being enamored by (wanking over) how it references blue sky research. When they were part of twitter, the name made some semblance of sense, but is particularly stupid now that they're trying to make their own service.

I don't know where this will lead with regards to the court, as some people say this was already dismissed in previous acquisition trials.
However, I know this is really bad for them at least in the court of public opinion. It seems like the last thing they needed was someone writing an email boasting about microsofts unending wealth and how it gives them a significant advantage.
This game is a strange one as, from my perspective, FF hasn't been a proper turn based RPG for nearly two decades. Additionally, the last few entries have already played with being action based. Then you have some strange experimentation with FFXII being RTwP and you start to notice that the series hasn't been at all consistent since then.
I do think SE needs to reign in a bit what FF is from a gameplay perspective. They've long migrated from what made the series great for little reason when you consider FFX is still one of the best selling games in the franchise and is strictly turn based (not even active time battle.)
I haven't played FFXVI yet, as I don't own a playstation and would prefer to play it on PC, but some part of me looked at this new entry as a decent pivot point for the series tonally -- it's just a shame that it's also so controversial regarding the gameplay choices it seems.
Is there a way to collapse a comment in a thread's comment section?
I don't know if there's something I'm missing or not, but it seems like I can't collapse a comment in the comment section of a post. This is kind of a big issue for me as I like to collapse comments I've read in order to keep track of comments, especially as I work my way down a comment tree.
It is important for people to have a place to discuss or hear others discuss important topics -- so I really think we're all a bit addicted to discussion.
If the majority of the Fediverse is going to defederate from Meta Threads, does that mean we will defederate from Tumblr too?
