Just realized Meta announced that “Threads has entered the fediverse” just over a year ago (March 21, 2024), but integration remains very much in “beta,” mostly one-way, and limited to those who live outside of the European Region.

Spring has reached the open social web

With a wave of momentum and publicity hitting the open social web, now is the time for us to really put our eggs in one basket (pun intended) and get serious about working together to grow better social media.

See my thoughts on my latest blog post here: https://forbetter.ghost.io/spring-on-the-social-web/

Thanks to the brains at Ghost, you can now follow my blog directly from the Fediverse @index

I have met people, so consumed and deluded by neo-capitalist #authoritarianism that they would persecute anyone who dares produce anything outside the corporate oligarchy. People who are furious and disgusted at the very ideas of #plurality #federation and even #opensource

This is a test of federation. But I will be using it the way it was intended, for discussion and respectful disagreements between people. In this case I will be trying to counter argument the statement in this post by Madiator, while agreeing with some of it.

Ich kann euch gar nicht sagen, wie sehr mich immoscout24 bei jedem Anfassen nervt!

Die software ist ja echt nur noch mit gut Glück als "manchmal funktionierend" zu beschreiben. Von einer wahren Datenschutz-Sauerei ganz zu schweigen .... Coockies, Mobilnummern-Zwang, ein "KI-Perso-Ident" ohne Hinweis/Möglichkeit zum Abkleben ...

Und ach ja immowelt ist weit jenseits der Benutzbarkeit, tut bei mir nicht.

Höchste Zeit dieses Monopol zu knacken!

Daher #Flohmarkt !

Lang lebe die #federation :-)

In My Opinion Bluesky Will Never Federate And That’s Concerning

What are we doing here folks? We all flocked to Bluesky because it resembled what we used love — Twitter from the 2010s, but with the hope that it would in the end be different.

The Bluesky team has promised to federate/decentralize for a while now, with nothing coming of it. Only empty promises (so far).

So many people have flocked to Bluesky because it’s familiar, but they don’t realize that it’s still centralized and can be taken advantage of like the other centralized platforms.

People constantly are telling me that Mastodon and the Fediverse is too hard to wrap their heads around, yet they all use email. It’s really not any different.

Admittedly I’m on Bluesky and participate from time to time. But what concerns me is that people will get so tied into it that they won’t leave if it goes south and we’ll be back to where we are with Twitter/X.

That being said, it doesn’t have to be this way. It can move beyond the centralized server. Hopefully people like Mark Cuban and other influential users will help push it in that direction.

What do you think?

The #Fediverse is growing and we're welcoming more and more new single user instances but #federation can become challenging.

With #Relay instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like #snac #snac2 #Mastodon #Pleroma etc.
