We can now connect to #BlueSky accounts from here, but both sides need to enable it.

We're supposed to be opt-out folks, but too many "safety" advocates are stopping the #SocialWeb from ever becoming ubiquitous. Imagine being so scared of "bad" speech that you demand users and server admins add each other's domain to their settings before they could communicate or even browse to those sites. We'd all still be on AOL.

Thank you @snarfed.org.

like you said, the #SocialWeb won't become as ubiquitous as email if our default is opt-in. because most people won't understand the settings etc.

we need an explicitly pro connection but anti intentional harassment federation policy (that I think would be very popular). instead the default is becoming having a network where nobody can stumble on anything upsetting. that's not the open web.

deal with spam, don't limit browsing.

If every article, podcast episode and video was natively an #ActivityPub post, we'd need quote posts but want them to operate differently. They should count as a boost but with a clear indication that the person you are following also wants you to see their comment. How should that look? Maybe they wouldn't themselves be boostable... #SocialWeb

the cool kids are using fedi but then #SocialWeb. thanks for sticking around.

The diversity of network and UX types across the fediverse/social web that my little Friendica server sees is astounding. This is just Diaspora and ActivityPub federated content since Bluesky is integrated through a client API not AT. #fediverse #SocialWeb #ActivityPub #diaspora #Bluesky #friendica

I doubted they would ever federate this far, but assuming they go all the way, won't their shitty policies lead people to move from there to here if the lock-in is gone? If none of fedi federated with them, wouldn't you expect them to retain their users and grow faster than the fedi does? I see a growing #threads as a way to kill #xitter, and federation eventually killing them. Threads talking about federation is good PR for us too. #SocialWeb

what's your nightmare scenario?

#threads #xitter #socialweb

imo the magic here is that we can make everything natively able to go viral. there aren't separate episodes, articles and videos we link to from here, but the item itself is an #ActivityPub post. creators stay in control. that's our killer app and how we sell creators on the #SocialWeb.
