One of the big Aha effects for people new to the Fediverse is when they realize they can follow the US presidents' Threads account from Mastodon.
The Verge and 404 Media are exploring the fediverse as a way to take more control over their referral traffic and onsite audience engagement.

If you've lived online long enough for Facebook to start dredging up embarrassing status updates from a decade ago, chances are you've picked up on a distinct vibe shift in our virtual world.

Ghost, an open source rival to Substack's newsletter platform, has confirmed it will this year officially join the fediverse -- or the open social network

While the launch of a survey isn't necessarily a commitment to federating Ghost, it is another signal pointing to the broader reshaping of the web that's now underway.

They have published a roadmap, which says it will be fully bidirectional by the end of the year. So far they have followed that roadmap, and I don't see a reason why they would stop doing that.

Why do people downvote this? The point of this group is not to only collect links you agree with! But all press coverage of the fediverse, not just the "correct" one!
You're right that strictly speaking, this article is premature in this group. On the other hand, so far they haven't pulled back from their ActivityPub promises and those numbers will have impact.
Hey @kurk, thanks for your submission. This group is intended for content from media organizations; while very interesting, the post you are referring to is really a personal blog post and doesn't quite belong here.
This does not appear to be an applicable analogy here. If it were, Mom (presumably the owner of the house) would not be able to identify anybody in the house, only how many people there are in total in the house. Not something she'd be happy with, I assume, nor you. (Strangers? Friends? Family?) And your complaint appears to be that you didn't have ownership rights in your room -- but if you had had them, according to your version of privacy, you could only tell that there was one other person in the room with you, but not that it was Mabel. It could have been her dad. Presumably also not what you would have wanted.
I want to see the list of subscribers to a group that I created for the same reason I want to see who is following me on Mastodon: 1) so I have some idea who the people are who are interested in what this group produces, and I can steer content in the direction that's actually appreciated by the subscribers and 2) so I can invite people who I think should be in it, but aren't yet, and 3) so I can (potentially) preemptively block.
Re your point about privacy: I would think that if I create a group, and moderate it, I am the host of that group. I decide who gets to be in and who doesn't, just like IRL who gets to sit on my porch and who doesn't. Privacy does not really enter the picture here in my view.
Obviously a big part of the existing #fediverse will be very unhappy if this is the direction things are going, at least in some places. But regardless, in this group I think we should share all press coverage, not just that with whose point of view we agree.
