@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org - great art!
I can't find the user... What did they do to him?!?đ°
It's a mastodon user, I don't know if the linking is working. Should still ping them, maybe
Test - @bdonvr@mastodon.sdf.org
Edit: Okay just got a ping one hour late on my Mastodon account so it does work, slowly?
RIP
Looks like they posted the video process timelapse of that artwork here:
I'll have to checkout their webcomic Pepper&Carrot. Thanks for the reference!
Threads will be as revelant as the metaverse.
So... Not relevant at all. Meta is a dying company.
Doesn't mean it can't drag down the fediverse with it. Threads has already more than four times as many users as Mastodon.
and? that's inconsequential it's a different platform
Unfortunately meta owns Instagram, and while Facebook and oculus are floundering, Instagram isn't.
So, who are the mascots there? I recognize Lemmy to the right and Mastodon in the middle, but who else do we have? I guess the issuance of the Kbin cockatoo, Kibby, was too late lol
I think some people are being too fatalist.
Something I liked about reddit was that it was neither Twitter nor Facebook.
If Meta creates its own proprietary version of the fediverse, it doesn't really change a thing. I'll just stick to instances that defederate them. After all, there is no Threads right now, and the fediverse is doing well.
This is a reasonable response if you look at this situation in a vacuum. But sadly the open source community got burned a bunch of times already by big private corps. Of course they dont destroy all open source. If it helps them they actually help develop it and only try to overtake it in the democratic sense to gain the most voting and controlling power. But Facebook is absolutely not in a benefit of the doubt situation. They need to show a hell of a lot of good faith and need to be a tiny enough fraction of the userbase in the fediverse to be trusted in my opinion.
Got some examples? And please, something other than xmpp. That feel apart under it's own weight.
When it comes to open source and open standards, Facebook have done quite a lot. React, react native, llama, graphql, relay, pytorch, docosaurus, zstd, flipper, redux, infer, lexical, jsx and a lot more at https://GitHub.com/facebook
Facebook have already contributed a lot to open source and open standards. Why do you say they won't continue to do that?
If Meta creates its own proprietary version of the fediverse, it doesnât really change a thing
anytime Meta touches anything, they turn it into shit, haven't you learned that by now?
My point is that if they fuck up and tamper the protocol with their bullshit, it doesn't matter because there will always be folks who refuse to participate in their shenanigans and just keep their instances out of reach. Plus I'd rather not interact with the Facebook crowd, so it's a win-win situation.
I will never trust Facebook ever.
Agreed. EEE, at the end of the day means using your superior resources to build attractive features that lure the market away from the âvanillaâ FOSS project and into your proprietary ecosystem.
Are current fediverse users likely to be lured to Facebook by cool features? NO
Almost all of us are here because we no longer want to participate in the centralized corporate social media machine. The only thing FB could do to âextendâ activitypub in a way that interests me is to not use it at all.
If you though Mastodon was gonna âwinâ the microblog wars, condolences, I can see why this is upsetting. That doesnât mean they can somehow come in and ruin what it is right now.
Further, I am very dubious that Threads is going to federate with existing servers. When they talk about a fediverse, they are talking about a network of services that they have full control over. Insta and FB are going to get activitypub support and the new âzukkitâ link aggregator will be announced within a year.
Funnily enough, people are already referring to "tweets" on Threads as "threats"
We don't want to threaten the community in any way, shape, or form. We simply want to take what is already so great about the fediverse and make it even better. We recommend trying Threads before judging it. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Lol, good troll account. Here's your downvote.
Disgusting. Begone foul boot!
