I’ve tried multiple channels, and I never managed from other software, even though I could find the underlying individual videos that are part of the channels. Can you link an example?

Hello from my Kbin account!

I agree that this part of the article is not well developed, and I should have probably rewritten it. What I was trying to get at is that Flipboard has a hierarchy that is unique: The Actor owns a Group, with the Actor being the highest level, and the Magazine below it.

While you could probably map a Flipboard Magazine onto a ActivityPub Group similarly like a Kbin Magazine is a Group, the intended usecase is still quite different, even though they are both link-aggregators. I dont think this is an insurmountable problem per se, but I dont agree that Kbins Magazines are super similar to Flipboards Magazines. If you wanted an fediverse comparison, I think Flipboards Magazines are actually way closer to the Postmarks.

if anything, its gotten worse tbh. the upside is that the move account feature to mastodon works, was a bit concerned about that.

it doesnt block your old account after a move like mastodon does, so i still have a functional firefish account, just not my followers anymore

chris stating that hes hesitant to open his new (4 person) firefish server to other people until theyve tested more for stability makes me quite hesitant to recommend the platform for now, if stability issues are this deeply ingrained

hey, thanks for letting me know. I think thats cloudflare, as its a pretty standard wordpress blog that I’ve not actively enabled settings to hide stuff behind captchas etc. Not really sure why it happens, but im taking a look

The Nordic Council of Ministers set up a Think Tank for digital strategy stuff last year, and they published their recommendations two months ago. They specifically advised all the Nordic governments to go all in on ActivityPub.

No, latest update is from early this spring, with no updates since.

People threatening to defederate from mastodon.social is a core part of the mastodon experience. Nothing new, and happens around pretty much every drama.

In this context its worth noting that Pixelfed recently implemented post import from Instagram. People are working on ways to make this easier.

Yeah @maegul was the first to suggest it a few weeks ago. One of the reasons I like the term is how communal and organic it grew; it was suggested in a thread that was specifically about brainstorming for better names. Threadiverse got thrown in there as a potential option, and its been gaining organic usage ever since.

It was before it leaked that Meta’s product will most likely be called Threads tho, which will be hilariously confusing. Not sure if the term threadiverse survives that.

yeah, this. I find the assumption that Meta is even interested in federating with most servers to be quite optimistic, to say the least. Especially the servers that have signed the fedipact. Its great for them that they have the freedom of associating, and thus say that they do not want to federate with Meta. Thats the system working as intended. But they by and large have different, more relaxed rules about content thats most likely against Meta’s CoC, especially around nudity.

Instagram has around 1.3 BILLION users posting thirsty pictures at each other all day long, and they still dont allow nudity. I’m not sure why Meta would suddenly be okay with another of their platform showing nudity because a masto server with 20 people who hate Meta does like to post nudity.

I’m unsure what Meta would have to gain by paying server admins some amount of money, while they can also just simply not paying any money. Paying money to admins would get literally everyone mad at them, including most importantly, regulators. They could just… not do that? Just put out their moderation standards to get on the white list, and present it as a take-it-or-leave-it deal
