IDK how complicated migrating the domain from https://www.threads.net to https://www.threads.com would be, but not advertising it to users or making any provision for this is dire. #fediverse #threads #meta
So apparently part of the issue with #threads is that they moved domain from https://www.threads.net to https://www.threads.com with the result that #fediverse domain handles are no longer obvious and transparent. Kind of screams neglect and don’t care won’t fix.
Zusammen mit @mashapotempa möchte ich beim Oktober-Salon der @LeipzigerLiederszene andere MusikerÏnnen aus Leipzig ermutigen, das Fediverse zu erkunden, sich ein Profil anzulegen, hier tolle Sachen zu machen, etc... Ich kann mir vorstellen, wir würden u.a. die tollen Präsis von @ueckueck nutzen.
Da nun aber mit @openvibe ein Tool zur Verfügung steht, mit dem zusätzlich zu Mastodon auch Bluesky & Threads "bespielt" werden können, überleg ich, das mit vorzustellen. Ich weiß: Threads = Meta und BS hat WalledGarden-Potential, aber Openvibe scheint durch den 3-Fliegen-mit-1-Klappe-Ansatz ja auch die "Fliege" Fediverse attraktiver und erreichbarer zu machen.
- Was ist hier so die Meinung zu und wie sind die Erfahrungen mit Openvibe?
#Threads-Meta ist so ein eigenes Universum
Also: if FEP-ef61
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.md
becomes widely adopted in future, then other ActivityPub-based software may incorporate nomadic identity, and you may have to worry about all of the above at that point.
#ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #Bluesky #Threads #Hubzilla #(streams) #Forte
To be clear: the active user base of Hubzilla probably numbers less than 1000, and those of (streams) and Forte far far smaller than that; so in your plots, their exclusion/inclusion is not going to be visually discernible to anyone. At present, it will not affect any inferences one may draw from your plots.
But for the sake of completeness, you may want to consider these questions.
#ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #Bluesky #Threads #Hubzilla #(streams) #Forte
(continues)
Forte certainly qualifies as part of the Fediverse, by any criteria. So you will definitely have to worry about counting each channel of any account on a Forte instance, and about not counting clones of that channel.
#ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #Bluesky #Threads #Hubzilla #(streams) #Forte
(continues)
The author of Hubzilla and (streams) also developed the ActivityPub-based Forte, which has nomadic identity, with all of the properties described above.
https://codeberg.org/fortified/forte/
#ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #Bluesky #Threads #Hubzilla #(streams) #Forte
(continues)
So if you are including Hubzilla and (streams) users, you will have to worry about counting each channel for an account, but not counting any of the clones of a given channel. Are you doing that?
#ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #Bluesky #Threads #Hubzilla #(streams) #Forte
(continues)
This also raises another question. Hubzilla and (streams) both have nomadic identity, so a user can have multiple clones of a channel across different instances, and activity on any one of those gets mirrored across all the clones. And an account on an instance can have multiple channels—a channel is what participates in the Fediverse.
#ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #Bluesky #Threads #Hubzilla #(streams) #Forte
(continues)
Are you counting the user base from instances which run software such as Hubzilla or (streams)—specifically, software that is NOT based on ActivityPub—but which federate with all the instances running ActivityPub-based software such as Mastodon?
If yes/no, why?
For context, the present mandarins of the ActivityPub world do not count Hubzilla or (streams) as parts of the Fediverse.
#ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #Bluesky #Threads #Hubzilla #(streams) #Forte
(continues)
You mention elsewhere that for your plots quantifying Fediverse decentralization, you (want to) count only those Threads users that federate with other instances running ActivityPub-based software. In contrast, Eugen Rochko seems to count any instance running software that natively speaks ActivityPub as part of the Fediverse.
Hence my curiosity questions below about some other software.

@anewsocial to me this is an #AntiFeature cuz I explicitly chose the #Fediverse over #Shitter, #BrownSky & #NSAbook for valid reasons.
Thx!

A small but big thing: every profile UX on the open social web should copy #Threads: Show the full handle w/ domain plus a “Copy” button in account details. None do now—Mastodon, Bluesky, PixelFed, etc. Only Threads does, and it’s a must-have.
I think this is a fair statement, right? #Threads #FakeFediverse
"You can now attach 10,000 character blogs to your #Threads posts"

Eine kleine Meldung mit großen Konsequenzen: Damit schließen sie zu FaXistan auf, dort ist die Funktion allerdings hinter dem Premium-Abo und daher nicht netzwerkdefinierend. Mit 10k-Zeichen-Posts wird Threads noch mehr zum neuen FB.
Was offene Zeichenlimits mit einem 'Microblogging'-Dienst machen, hab ich hier erörtert:
First real study of #Threads-#Fediverse interop at scale. Key bits: Fedi→Threads replies dominate (likely due to current UX on Threads for fedi), surges tied to rollout events, steady growth, & interop didn’t worsen convo tone. Early but encouraging data: https://arxiv.org/html/2502.17926v2
HELLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHH
the proposal for a talk about fedipact at the seattle gnu linux conference that me and @ka_so signed up to give got approveddddddddd!!!!!!!!! :3
I think the only #Fediverse apps that could comply with age verification laws (as they have the tools available) are #Threads & #WordPress (I believe commercial plugins are available for the latter).
Age verification tech is best handled by experienced third-party apps (for security reasons), but #Mississippi does not understand the risk & cost factors for complying with their law.
#Mastodon says it doesn’t ‘have the means’ to comply with age verification laws https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/29/mastodon-says-it-doesnt-have-the-means-to-comply-with-age-verification-laws/
