Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption, as Stanford — which posted the video this week on YouTube — today made the video of the event private.
Thanks for the mention. This is a very interesting and informative page for all users of the fediverse
God likes voluntary suffering
You're right, sorry 🤦♂️ 🙇♂️ : the federated instance was threads.ruin.io, not threads.net
Yes, I think so too, but it is a choice that is up to the administrators because it can have dramatic repercussions on the maintenance of the server
Um... that's not what it looks like from the relevant page: https://sh.itjust.works/instances
Now I understand: I thought that federating Threads was a deliberate choice, but it was probably an incidental phenomenon simply due to the large numbers managed by your instance.
Probably one of the ten Instagram executives who have a federated profile has tried to search for one of your contents. Or he found the message of a followed user who participated in one of your threads in his Timeline. Or they are simply experimenting with your instance...😁
I said the wrong thing here. Excuse me
In any case, there is at least one other Lemmy instance, probably for the same reason: it is an instance that handles quite large numbers anyway:
~~https://sh.itjust.works/instances~~
EDIT: no it is not true: https://lemmy.world/comment/7949266
Of course you are right (sorry, but in my message I wrote federata instead of defederate)
I understand your choices well. We have made an internal evaluation on the opportunity to federate Threads with our instances: with the mastodon poliversity.it instance we decided to silence Threads; with the Friendica poliverso.org instance we used the newly introduced functionality to obfuscate all the personal data of our users towards Threads; with the Lemmy feddit.it instance, however, we decided to leave the federation to try to allow Italian Threads users (feddit.it is an Italian-speaking instance) to use activitypub groups and discover the "free Fediverse"
Yes, but I can't "find" Threads content from Lemmy.world
In reality, any user can force federation by simply searching for the handle of a user or content of the fedeverse from the search box of their instance. This method always works unless the instance has been previously defederated.
The problem is that from feddit.it I can't "find" the contents of Threads (and not even from lemmy.world), even when they are those of the ten Instagram executives visible from mastodon.social and from any other instance that has not defederated Threads
I'll also try to mention admins @jelloeater85@lemmy.world @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world @Rooki@lemmy.world and @kersploosh@lemmy.world
Hi everyone, I’m one of the administrators of the Lemmy feddit.it instance - my nick is @poliverso@poliverso@feddit.it
Together with our fellow administrators, based on some impact assessments, we have decided not to operate any preventative block against Threads, but I am not aware that we are still federated. I noticed that your instance is federated to Threads instead, but I don’t understand how this was possible. The strange thing is that, from your instance, it is still not possible to view those dozen Threads accounts that are currently “federable”. So I wanted to ask you: is there a way to force federation?
Thanks in advance for your feedback, sorry for the inconvenience and best wishes for a happy holiday!
I will take a bigger look at it now
Very good. I'm glad I was able to spark your curiosity! 😅 Sometimes, good ideas can hide even behind the worst interfaces and the most obsolete technologies... 😁
Had a look, seems like facebook–ish UI but 10 years ago. Correct?
No, that's not correct at all! 🤦🤦🤦
Friendica is the most beautiful and powerful social media software in the Fediverse: it can make you write long, formatted posts with in-line images, with title or without title, it can publish scheduled posts, it can make you follow websites with RSS feeds , Diaspora and GNU Social profiles, it has a connector for Bluesky and TumbIr, it can manage circles like Google+, it can manage public ActivityPub groups (basically like Lemmy communities) but also private ones, it manages activitypub events like those of Mobilizon and Gancio.
The development is continuous and always cutting edge and the developers are pretty smart!
Unfortunately it has two problems that compromise its success:
- the lack of an iOS app
- a painful web 1.1 interface reminiscent of the original Facebook, but unfortunately the development staff no longer has any professional graphics. In reality it would be enough to adapt the soapbox interface (not everyone knows that it is possible to manage a friendica account through the soapbox interface!), but this is a bit of a sore point...
If you want to undertake the development of new Fediverse software, I recommend you take a look at Friendica and, if possible, also Misskey, Bonfire and Kbin; however in the Fediverse it is also important to try to reinvent the wheel, because the diversity of ideas is the true richness of the Fediverse
That's true, In fact in this thread I can do it. The problem is that I can't do it where the original post we are commenting on was published (the one that was crossposted here by the Wordpress community). In fact, that was written with WordPress and, apparently, even if the WordPress title was corrected after your report, Lemmy still can't receive the change...
now I understand. the translation of the italian expression "su Lemmy" was translated as "about Lemmy" and not "on Lemmy"
What a misleading headline
Why ever misleading? I have verified that a WordPress blog can post to a Lemmy community just like any user would. What would be misleading?
