Recently #ElonMusk smearmongered his daughter (his daughter is #trans, she disowned him and changed her last name)

So Vivian decided to break the silence on #Threads:

#Musk's original crap on #Twitter (warning, #deadnaming):

"in a ketamine-fueled haze, he's desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him. Go touch some fucking grass"

DAMN!😆


#Threads

Threads has JDPower.com on their Federated block list for not having a publicly accessible feed (https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers).

WTF is JDPower.com doing connected to the Fediverse network? They sell cars and rate companies. They are certainly not a social media site.

Are they reading and scraping messages? Looking for people interested in buying cars or something? I'm wondering if I should block them at the firewall.


@pfefferle Yes. #WordPress (https://wordpress.org) links to their #Instagram account on the homepage: https://www.instagram.com/wordpress

In turn, their official handle links to their #Threads account.

Someone in the WordPress foundation needs to contact #Meta & have their account verified & activate #ActivityPub on their Threads account.

They also need to install the ActivityPub plugin so we can follow updates from the #Fediverse.


Just so you know: Of the 10 accounts with the largest followings in the #Fediverse only one is not on #Threads. In the Top50 there are only 6 accounts from #Mastodon, the rest is on Threads.
And that just days after the first birthday of Threads.

With my account for browsing the #Fediverse (@fingolas) I'm following about 1000 accounts.
While the overwhelming majority is still from #Mastodon, more and more are not: Almost 10% are on #Threads, #Bluesky or #Flipboard already.
I'm really curious, how this will change.


#Threads is working on the 'Use media' option that will let you reuse media from other posts 👀


På sociala medier som Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Youtube, Snapchat, LinkedIn och Pinterest med flera bestämmer de företag som äger dem över vad du ser i ditt flöde. Flödet är maximerat för vinst, dvs att företag ska kunna tjäna så mycket pengar så möjligt på dig. Men det finns också social media som du själv bestämmer över.

Kurz vor dem großen Update für #Mastodon, das die fehlerhafte Preview korrigieren sollte nochmal ein Blick auf Trafficquellen für @heiseonline: Demnach hat #Mastodon #Twitter überholt, auch ohne einen Teil des Traffics aus dem #Fediverse. Das liegt aber auch daran, dass das automatische Posten auf #X Probleme macht (wenn es geht, ist X vorne).

#Flipboard und #Facebook wachsen leicht. #Bluesky unten konstant hinter #Threads, obwohl dort alle und bei letzterem nur wenige Links geteilt werden.


@BeAware Don't go with Lemmy.. Use Mbin indeed (https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin)! I forked the /kbin project some time ago, I was afraid this would happen. So no worries, just move to one of the Mbin instances (or host your own Mbin instance).

See a list of instances: https://fedidb.org/software/mbin

Suosituimmat somepalvelut Suomessa 2024 – Threadsilla jo arviolta yli 900 000 käyttäjää

I asked this because I read people on #Threads can now choose to connect to the wider #fediverse, but maybe there haven’t been many takers?

#Threads is NOT the #Fediverse.

Threads is Zuckberg, who is Musk, who is Dorsey. #DTBO socmedia are exactly that.

It's a CHOICE to remain there, feeding everything wrong with it.

The Fediverse is best, and the ONLY FREE OPTION. No douchebag techbro billionaire owner. No algorithm.

I don't understand journalists complaining about threads doing what it was meant to do.

Be free, walk away from meta/x/threads.


I find it funny that every week we get headlines like ”Meta’s Threads Seeks Relevancy to Become True Rival to Musk’s X” and the Fediverse users are like:

#Fediverse #X #SocialWeb #SocialMedia #Threads


It’s been a year since Meta pushed out Threads in an attempt to take on the platform we now know as X. With 175 million users now on board (some way off Zuckerberg’s hopes for “1 billion+“), @engadget considers the changes Threads needs to make to truly create the X alternative it wants to be.

Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram and Threads about the integration to the Fediverse:

"So everything has become at least three, if not six, or seven times more difficult than we thought. But we're committed to it, and we're making progress. We have some announcements coming soon. We just gotta get the basics out. You’ve got to be able to not only post to the fediverse, but to get your replies in the app. Ideally, you should be able to follow accounts from the fediverse in Threads, not just follow Threads accounts on Mastodon servers or clients. So there's still plenty of work to do. But I do believe the world is going to become more open over time. And we should lean into that. And if it takes time, it takes time."

This is a smart move by @Mastodon. #Twitter / #X journalism is struggling, and #Threads doesn’t want journalism. Mastodon is leaning into it though, “To reinforce and encourage Mastodon as the go-to place for journalism, we’re launching a new feature today.” I think this is a lever for differentiation; making Mastodon more valuable to journalists and users.
https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/112718231305707672


Today we're launching a new #Mastodon feature that will highlight writers and journalists that are active on the fediverse when their their articles are being shared.

"Some instances are already blocking #Threads, and if #Meta becomes too much of a problem, then others would likely do so as well.
And while some had predicted that Meta would never actually embrace Threads, it keeps turning on more functionality, bit by bit. The latest functionality is that users on Threads can now see likes and replies from the wider #Fediverse."

Threads implements #Misskey's `_misskey_quote` standard and gives them a shutout in the Facebook Engineering blog and then *blocks them* for "No publicly accessible feed" which is a completely baseless reason for blocking a server.

"We chose _misskey_quote because its naming makes it clear that it’s not an official ActivityPub method, and because we know that it’s supported by Misskey, Firefish, and potentially other servers that use quote posts." https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/21/networking-traffic/threads-has-entered-the-fediverse #fediverse #threads


Wait, Threads is now blocking mastodon.social?

https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers

#mastodon #threads

EDIT: mastodon.social has been removed from the list after about 30 minutes. It will be interesting to hear what happened, and how this affected folks who follow each other.


#Meta is keeping to its word, as it continues to federate #Threads. This is good for those who like news, don’t want ads, and can live without an algorithmic timeline. The #fediverse is very much a “choose your own UX” sort of thing.

Threads released a public list of blocked instances:

👉🏾 https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers

Many #Mastodon & #Misskey instances are mistakenly blocked for not having a publicly accessible feed.

I wanted to appeal on their behalf, but #Threads requires admins to appeal.
