Threads Has Begun Federating Via ActivityPub

And I have moved my mastodon account to an instance who actively defederated Threads. I'm not interested in interacting with anyone on that network.

And I'm fucking sick of the "content relevant for me" thing. I interact with people asking/giving help, discussing and so on. Mindlessly consuming "content" is simply a disease.

Anyone who doesn't understand that connecting in any way to Facebook is not a good thing .... is either very naive, or complicit to wanting to take down the fediverse.

Facebook already has enough content and enough of a platform on their own -- they literally control half of the worldwide social media network. Why do they want to spread into this new space?

The only reason they want to be on this side is to conquer or destroy.

Fuck threads

I can follow him on kbin.

Interoperability was the purpose of activitypub. I'm not oppossed to Meta , Tumblr and wordpress joining the fediverse.
As long as I can use an open source community platform.

Mark Zuckerturds destroys everything he touches, and now he wants to touch you.

Sick, I get tons of more interesting content while being with a Mastodon instance I trust, a nice FOSS client to explore the content, and keep my privacy! If this actually bothered me, I could simply click the three dots and block the instance, so surely that shouldn't be a big deal, right?

DEFEDERATE, PLEASE! Now Meta has the highest presence in the Fediverse, and they can do whatever they want to it.

And nothing of value was gained

This is gross. Meta/ threads / Facebook / Instagram are evil and I hope everyone will block / defederate them

i love how excited adam mosseri is about activitypub; it's a win win for the protocol.

being able to follow the mainstream people on threads as well as the niche people on mastodon through a foss client like megalodon and the move from threads to another instance if i get sick of it will be fantastic and will help both mastodon and threads grow in the implosion of twitter.

I see we've hit the first E: Embrace. I'm betting it'll only be a few months until they're Extending the protocol. Any wagers on how long until we hit Extinguish? 3 years maybe?

I have no interest in interacting with Threads myself, but I suppose it's good news for people who want to be on the fediverse but just can't manage going without being able to follow @burgerking@threads.net or whatever.

I think this will beneficial for the fediverse overall. Thereads will eventually have to advertise. At which point hopefully other Platforms on the fediverse will become more attractive to some threads users.

Fortunately, Lemmy just launched the ability for every individual to block instances they don't like.

now metas got access to all the porns.

The Wig punched himself through a couple of African backwaters and felt like a shark cruising a swimming pool thick with caviar. Not that any one of those tasty tiny eggs amounted to much, but you could just open wide and scoop, and it was easy and filling and it added up. The Wig worked the Africans for a week, incidentally bringing about the collapse of at least three governments and causing untold human suffering. At the end of his week, fat with the cream of several million laughably tiny bank accounts, he retired. As he was going out, the locusts were coming in; other people had gotten the African idea.

They just need the data. It’s available, all they need to do is open wide and scoop.
