All social media sites interconnected — heaven or hell for creators?
Yeah that’s wrong, twitter posts don’t show up in Bluesky at all. Completely separate network
I think the idea is that the NSFW servers also federate with nonNSFW. So I guess it solves the problem of seeing posts about the news when you want to browse porn?
488k is the number of posts, they have 19k followers. Pretty great news still tho
The decentralized Instagram alternative is a great option if you want to back up your feed, focus on photo-sharing, or cut loose from Meta's empire entirely. And making the leap is surprisingly easy.
Meta’s adoption of ActivityPub could expose a lot more people to the power, and perils, of decentralized social networks..
Welcome to the club! I did an audible 'oooooh' the first time ActivityPub really clicked with me lol.
gods tagging someone's masto directly from lemmy, and them being able to directly respond via masto is just so fucking nice
Also, you might want to take a look at https://zdf.social/@ZDF and https://ard.social/
ZDF and ARD are the two biggest broadcasters in Germany, and they both have their own ActivityPub (Mastodon) server.
In case you needed some extra convincing that other large mainstream news organisations also have realised that this is actually a good idea that makes sense ;)
A big news org from France is also on Mastodon with like 50k followers, but I cannot remember the name right now
Evan Prodromou (@evan@cosocial.ca) , one of the co-authors of ActivityPub is super interest in getting Canadian news organisations on board the fediverse. He gave a talk about that last night actually: https://cosocial.ca/@evan/110809723914430376
If you're serious about this, you could totally reach out to him, I'm sure he would love to hear from people in CBC
Oh this is great to hear, I love Ruin and Time, and havent read Memory yet. So if thats even better, woah
Yeah I really love the Children Of series. I just realised that part 3 is finally out, so now I know what I'll be reading next!
I just finished The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. Its so fucking good, amazing worldbuilding, story and message. It really explores all the potential interesting ways that you can envision different future worlds in ways that other SciFi often doesnt. I've never read anything like this before.
People having issues with Mastodon isn’t an attack on your identity that you have to lash out like that lol. It does illustrate the point of the scolding culture and superiority feeling perfectly though, so in that sense it’s actually a great comment
Yes! One of the main reasons lots of people use Beeper
Want to really understand how large language models work? Here’s a gentle primer.
Mammoth is testing the new feed in its TestFlight with just 100 users for the time being but plans to make the new feed a part of its next significant update, Mammoth 2.
As a side note, Ian betteridge, who has the law named after him for the phenomenon you reference, is quite active on the fediverse
NodeBB is also working on activitypub integration
Love Reddit but tired of what's happening to it? We check out Lemmy and Kbin, two open-source fediverse alternatives that are growing fast.
We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past...
