  • they are actaully fixing that? So is it ta bug?

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • not suprised, E-mail has been on that downward spiral for a while. The only thing keeping that alive is many independent E-mail servers.

  • The Federation Fallacy
  • Really intresting rticle

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • I don't see threads providing any value

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • I hate this article since it compares to XMPP. A much more accurate comparison would be seething like E-mail, I believe.

    I get it... I'm likely going to block meta instances from the servers I have whenever I have time to figure out how to.

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • Oh really?

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • That is a very real thing they do. I like this reasoning

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • No I just don't see meta wanting to compete in those fields

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • Activity pub is more than just mastodon, there is book ratings, and also peertube.

    I don't see meta ever going there.

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • I can't figure out what meta wants to actaully do.

    I can't decipher fully.

    If your a big instance and don't want to waste bandwidth, just block them.

    If you want meta, block them from the federated timeline if you desire.

    No one will guide you in what to do with your fedi instance.

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • I also might be underestimating people's ability to actaully use a platform. Idk

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • I've spent way too long thinking about this.

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • Plus knowing meta, they'll problary select a handful of instances to federate with. Meaning this plan is stupid.

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • I think meta just wants to captailize on twitters demise.

    I don't see how crushing activtypub would help them in anyway.

    Mastodon is already massive and many companies (and the EU) have their own instance.

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • Plus this isn't like its XMPP or something where people actaully care who they're talking to. I really don't.

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • Mastodon.social is the biggest instance

    There's plenty of conversation already existing. Even my single user instance is barely keeping up.

    Its not like this is how federation works, federation happens in 3 ways: a person follows a user, thus getting their posts, an instance follows a relay, which gets sent posts and spreads them back out like a vaccum, and 3rd boosting posts.

    I don't see threads changing all that much if people don't follow those accounts, and or meta doesn't follow relays and send their posts out through relays.

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • Still don't get how their do that while there is already a big coperate backing with mastodon gbmh.

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon.'

    Is he foolish? I can't tell, mastodon is massive. Look at mastodon.social, there's already plenty of people here.'

  • Mastodon's official stance on Threads
  • I see meta no different than the company behind mastodon

    GOG 2023 update #2: facts and numbers of 2022

    Gog is doing much better than in 2022. They are making 1.2M dollars in profit. Which is pretty good for such a platform personally. I really like the ideals of GOG, but haven't really used the platform a whole lot.

    Got the Samson SR850's

    Got these headphones recently. I had to bend the top band down to reduce the clamping force (I play games for long sessions, and also watch movies ).

    But they've been great. I do like they include an 1/4 inch adapter in there, and it seems to be a pretty good one too.

    (I've had problems with previous headphones with the 3.5mm failing).

    These have been really nice so far after some adjustment's to the clamping force

    Reddit violates CCPA

    This video shows that Reddit refused to delete all comments and posts of its users when they close their account via a CCPA / GDPR request.

    This is absolutely insane, and shows that companies OWN you.
