a passerby who want less latency… :)
At some point, it’s expected that Meta will enable federation for Threads. For the rest of the Fediverse, it’ll be drinking from the metaphorical firehose. There will have been this culture that was built and backed by Meta, and for those people there will be no change other than the gates being open. They won’t have learned to use content warnings/headings, they won’t have learned how to interact with other servers, the etiquette just likely won’t be there, and why should they adapt to what the rest of the Fediverse is doing? They don’t value it in the same way we do.
A valid concern that I missed, thanks for bringing this up.
Hmm… I am very conflicted on this matter, I want fediverse to prosper and replace mainstream social media. But on the other hand I also want fediverse to keep its chill and relaxed community that I can hang around. I also don’t want for fediverse to become toxic because disagreement on how to treat meta. I saw some admins gets harrased just because they plan to federate with meta. It saddens me and I worried that many instance will dissapear because admins can’t stand with that kind of harrasment then proceed to shutdown their instance like mastodon.online ones.
Whoa, the amount of downvotes is staggering. I agree with you that it doesn’t feel right to see many instance admins defederates with thread from the start. EEE is a threat, but fediverse is already has known by normies as mastodon and has strong culture behind it. I think fediverse will live as usual even when meta decided to stop federating.
I don’t like to browse All timeline. You can search community using tools like browse feddit, Lemmyverse or others to search community. Then you can aggresively subscribe any community you fancy. After that you can never open All timeline.
There are no algorithm to give you a good community to subscribe on All timeline. It is just amalgation of all subs your instance-mate subscribe to. And given you are in .world, all kinds of people exist here, hence All timeline filled with weird things.
As long as you don’t let your instance become bot/nazi/tanky swarm, you are green…
It has potential, bu I hope it will not become like those mainstream soc-med…
Fediverse is like a village where each denizen trying to self-sufficent and helping each others while mainstream soc-med is like train station or mall where users just come and go while giving money to its owner for their services…
We may need one or two mainstream soc-med to be alive to keep up with news or to socialize with normies, but we also need a place to retreat like current fediverse.
edit:typo
Same here, this is first time I know…
AFAIK, no. Lemmy only shows posts from group actor a.ka community. And only shows comment from normal user as child of posts.
France is become european china at this rate… 😅
All timeline is all post from subs/community that you and your instance-mates subscribe. Each instance has different users, and different user follow different communities. Hence All timeline can be different for each instances.
Now all the things must be selfhot+fedi or die… welocm to web 3.1… 😆 (web 3 has been claimed by crypto scammer… sad… 😅)
maybe exploding-heads.com? is that site still around?
I only know that on Lemmyverse, most of conservatives happily stays on reddit given most committed progressives migrated here. Or may be they go to squabblr, its owner says they are welcomed there.
There are many though, on mastodon-verse if you like twitter-esque experience. There are enough users and instances to hold meaningful conversations.
