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

@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.

@shellsharks Great stuff âne useful. I Will share it on my weekly newsletter and blog.

 

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.

@stefan

@fediverse If this was from your site, I am seeing it.

 

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!

 

The rapid rise of Lemmy and Kbin, dubbed the 'threadiverse', have altered the dynamic in the fediverse. A look at how this changes the structure and the dynamic of the fediverse at large.

@giallo I like the “to quote myself from earlier‘, so I will as well.

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?

Meta gives more information about their upcoming microblogging service that uses ActivityPub. Linux creator Linus Torvald yells at a far-right user, and the resulting discussion leads to Mozilla potentially committing engineers to help build better blocking systems. PixelFed has many updates, including Instagram Import.
