Article Update: In less than 2 days, [#Threads](https://mstdn.social/tags/Threads) somehow gets even worse!
  • I think a lot of people feel similarly, weā€™re just exhausted from all the pearl clutching in the fediverse.

    I think itā€™s cool theyā€™re federating. Iā€™m excited to see some of that mainstream content without giving up so much of my personal info/data.

    Iā€™m also excited that there will be defederated places to go to if I donā€™t want to see/interact with the Meta crowd.

  • Various challenges that Meta/Threads may face, according to Facebook's ex-Chief Security Officer
  • But why do they want to consume the fediverse?

    The fedidb.org site says the fediverse has ~10m MAUs (a lot of which are probably already on Meta)

    Threads got like 10m users on day 1.

    It would be such a small increase in users/content for them to consume and most of the people here block ads anyway, so I feel like weā€™re their worst demographic.

  • How I self hosted wefwef on macOS with Docker

    I posted this as a comment in the wefwef community but thought it might also be relevant here. If anyone is interested in self hosting wefwef this is how I did it on macOS:

    Start by installing Docker desktop

    Open Terminal and type in:

    docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

    Then, you need to use a Docker run command like below to get things started. In this example, I put my local IP in as "192.168.1.2" but you'll need to adjust that value to whatever your machine's IP is.

    docker run --rm -d -p 192.168.1.2:5314:5314 -e "CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS=lemmy.world,sh.itjust.works,lemmy.ml" ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

    At that point, I went to my iPhone, opened Safari and went to 192.168.1.2:5314 and boom, there's wefwef. Install this as PWA and name it (local) or something to differentiate it from the normal wefwef and you're good to go.

    Disclaimer: Iā€™m brand new to all of this so Iā€™m sure this isnā€™t the best way. But it got me started, so I wanted to share.
