- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 5 months ago:
For some weird reason in the implementation of the AP protocol, lemmy posts are seems as just a link on mastodon, the replies are complete though.
ActivityPub allows two post formats, Notes and Articles. Articles support titles and therefore posts on Lemmy and Threads on /kbin use them, while notes do not and are therefore used for microblogging and commenting. Currently Mastodon's article federation only goes so far as linking the post for content, and to be honest I'm doubtful whether Threads will federate Articles at all given their carefulness with federation.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 5 months ago:You're confusing defederation with Lemmy's instance blocking. Defederation, like the name implies, means that none of a server's content is federated. Lemmy's new instance blocking feature only blocks communities and not users.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 5 months ago:That's not how federation works. If you're on an instance that doesn't allow Threads, you won't see them at all, even when viewing posts coming from other instances.

Also,
We are on lemmy.
I'm not ;)
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 5 months ago:You know that if you actively blocked the instances that are federated with Threads you wouldn't have seen this post, right (lemmy.world/instances)? I'm also only active on instances that block Threads, but blocking those who don't is an excessive measure.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 5 months ago:The thing is, you don't really see anything from the Microblogging Fediverse around here at all, do you, so why would you from Threads? And Meta will only explicitly collect your data if you follow one of their accounts, which is impossible from Lemmy. So in a Lemmy context it is quite irrelevant.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 5 months ago:But they won't. Seeing how little even the relatively federation-conscious Mastodonians interact with Lemmy, from Threads it will be close to zero (especially since the devs are very "careful" with federation and probably won't display article-formatted posts anytime soon).
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 5 months ago:No, that's just Lemmy. On Masto it blocks all users.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 5 months ago:I'm just saying that even on federated instances the users can choose to block Threads, and that that gives the same result for them. There's no need to force the hand of the user; there are more than enough corpo-critical people on Fedi for it not to be taken over by Meta.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 5 months ago:It really depends on the instance. There are many cozy, non-mainstream corners on the Fediverse. For instance, beehaw.org is as pleasant as can be.

By all means, fuck Meta to the moon and back, but for goodness' sake, users on federated servers can choose to block the domain with the same result, not to mention that admins can simply restrict it (see social.coop/@eloquence/1115888…). It just isn't so black and white as people are making it seem.
Federation with a bigger platform is realistically the only way for Fedi to become mainstream, and at the moment Meta seems at least to be trying to be communicative. And with their quite unvaluable userbase they really don't have enough leverage against the privacy-concious Fediverse to turn AP into MetaPub. For now.

- Comment on Mastodon founder touts Threads' federation, saying it makes his X rival 'a far more attractive option' 5 months ago:Thing about the Fediverse is that software is just software; what you should care about is the instances. There are a whole bunch of Mastodon instances that have already defederated long ago. A few big ones include mas.to, mstdn.social and troet.cafe; you can find the rest https://fedipact.veganism.social/.

- Comment on Threads has hashtags now 5 months ago:@clgoh They haven't even embraced yet and they're extending already. Nice.
- Comment on 5 months ago:@ttmrichter
Well it's not an actual issue; it's just my ideas of what would be better. If only I think it, why should they do anything? What I'm really trying to do is to see what people think and spark some thoughts. - Comment on 5 months ago:
I'd like to add that the developers' communication channels is a very inappropriate place to complain for someone who is uninvolved with the project.
(And you can tell that this is primarily directed at Mastodonians because the title is also the first line, because of the seemingly excessive explanation of how this place works and because of the hashtags and the mentions in the end of the post. Also, why would I specifically write to fedi tips if this was just a Lemmy post?)
- Comment on 5 months ago:I posted this in microblog format via Friendica specifically so that it would also (primarily) reach Mastodon. It's got 27 boosts, which is quite alright for such a long post!
- Comment on 5 months ago:@ttmrichter
Yes, donating helps them develop the project, which is great and I encourage everyone who can to do so, but it doesn't change the direction of the development. Mastodon is ultimately people powered, making spreading sentiments a reasonable way to change this, if you're not going to develop the project yourself. - Comment on 5 months ago:Yes, but they only see the title and a link to the original post in place of a body.
