@wakest Mastodon may have started down the enshitification route and heading toward being forked.

@ernest After 1.0 is released, please take some time off. And try to delegate. Sending you some funds! Hang in there buddy.

The NLnet foundation has played a significant role in the fediverse, with their financial support for most major projects. In this piece I meet some of the people behind NLnet, and get to know the foundation.

Making sense of Threads and regulation (fediversereport.com)
 

The launch of Threads, with its promise of adding ActivityPub support in the future, is hotly debated. I take a look at 3 upcoming pieces of legislation, the DMA, DSA and the Canadian Online News Act, to see how this potentially impacts Threads decision to federate in the future.

We'll see if it works once they add Activity Pub integration.

And I blocked them because they are a box of c*unts. And I'll leave it up to instances to do whatever they want with Threads.

Last Week in the Fediverse – episode 25 (fediversereport.com)
 

Chaos at Reddit and Twitter have a direct impact on the fediverse. Growth at Lemmy and Kbin. The server database of kolektive.social gets seized by the FBI.

Very curious how well kbin can work as a Mastodon replacement in addition to a threadiverse reader. Does it work as a one-stop shop for fediverse browsing? in c/fediverse@kbin.social
[–] symfonystation@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

@koncertejo You can follow any Fediverse account you want to on kbin.

Can someone help me with a few kbin/lemmy questions? I'm trying to understand the difference between the upvote and "boost". Also the differences between Threads, Microblog, and Magazines. in c/fediverse@kbin.social

@CurlyMoustache

@acunasdaddy Yes. Use the add new link under the + sign drop down menu to create a thread. Be sure to add hashtags to your microblog post so people can find it. Have fun.

@acunasdaddy

In kbin, magazines are based on topics. Users can start threads within a magazine and upvote or downvote in any threads. An upvote is the equivalent of a like or favorite on other platforms. If you boost a thread comment, that is the same as boosting or sharing on another platform.

kbin also has microblogging which is the same as Mastodon, and you can boost and upvote microblogs as well.

Consent and the fediverse (onepict.com)
 

People in real life do choose to avoid dangerous or toxic places. All that the instances who sign the fedipact are doing is signalling to some of us that somewhere is safe for folk who don't want to engage with Facebook at all.

Last Week in the Fediverse – episode 24. Excellent coverage as always. (fediversereport.com)
 

An eventful week in the fediverse, filled with discourse and drama about Meta's new microblogging platform. A summary of events and a separation of the different topics that were talked about. Beyond that, WeDistribute, a blog with a long history and legacy talking about decentralized social networks is back!

I want to address the uproar in the Fediverse about preemptively blocking the Meta ActivityPub product. And whether it should be at the instance or individual user level. A variety of reasons for and against this have been given.

At the moment, I would go with the latter. But no matter the arguments, the reason every single Fediverse user should block it is that Meta is a box of c*nts.

They have always been a box of c*nts. And they will always be a box of c^nts. Meta should be trusted as far as I can kick Zuck. About six feet. They will immediately or eventually try to enshitify whatever product they launch. At that point, administrators should block them at the instance level.

Maybe I am wrong, but maybe the Easter Bunny is real.

Do I need to remind anyone these are the mofos greenlighting the spread of misinformation of all types, science denial, propaganda from the enemies of democracy, conspiracy theories from every lunatic on earth, election stealing, suicide instigation for teenagers, and the mass genocide of Muslims in Myanmar?
