@davidrevoy Chouette, bientôt un nouvel article masterpiece de @ploum

DELETED

@davidrevoy you really know how to draw a good grim reaper :blobSkelly:​

@davidrevoy The jokes just write themselves it seems. I did not even realize that you could just change one letter of "Threads" to make it "Threats" instead.

It will be interesting where this will be going tbh, since there is no certainty they will ever properly federate with the rest of us. Right now they will likely snatch as many users from here and twitter as they can and then close the whole off and introduce advertisements (which are also missing right now)

Thank you for this picture that makes me smiling in these times.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Wait, wait... is that app compatible with ActivityPub? ​:asui_what:​

Meta: let us all be Threads now. Oops, I mean friends, sorry. Yeah, friends! 😏

Nice satire. But I hope this helps sink Elon. May the lesser evil prevail.

sinphy :true:

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org people have been making connections with like google or just tech companies to satan or something based on logos looking vaguely like satanic symbols because theyre batshit insane but they werent even fucking trying with this one

Grum999 :verified:

@davidrevoy I'm wondering

Currently Instagram is a closed place: if you don't have an account you can't really browse the user's content

That's one thing Elon tried to do with his toy in the last few days, and users weren't happy

For Threads, you need an Instagram account, but is content will be available for everyone, or just for registered users?

Twitter users may will just migrate from a proprietary closed place to another one, Mastodon and Fediverse may not be really impacted by them...

@grum999 @davidrevoy You can currently see it with a Chromium-based browser if you have a direct link to a post. It does not work on Firefox.

brunospy

@gunchleoc @grum999 @davidrevoy You can already glance at Threads profile (even with Firefox, don't know why you said it's not working). For exemple : threads.net/@netflix

Don't forget to wash your hands and your browser after ;)

Grum999 :verified:

@brunospy @gunchleoc @davidrevoy the things is: do I really want to go on it? :ablobcateyesflip:

may be curiosity will let me take a look, bu I clearly won't create an account :ablobcatcoffee:

GunChleoc

@grum999 @brunospy @davidrevoy You need to lower the security in Firefox from "Strict" to "Standard" so that the #Threads site will work - all the better to track you with. Not gonna happen.

GunChleoc

@grum999 @brunospy @davidrevoy Don't tell me you're surprised? Tracking is their business model. 🤷

Grum999 :verified:

@gunchleoc @brunospy @davidrevoy Yes, by default I try to block all trackers and in this case, going to provided Threads link you just have a blank page with Threads&Meta logo

They don't need me, I don't need them, I just won't change my browser's settings for something useless to me :ablobcatcoffee:

Dups

@grum999 @davidrevoy I know I'm not getting on any of those #meta platforms.

@davidrevoy Wow David, you are truly capturing the essence of the problem 😆

@davidrevoy poast is the immune system of the fediverse
nothing repels corporate types like a thousand retards who think it's funny to spam NIGGER (it is)
David

@nemo @davidrevoy You'll just have to block the thread domain at the server level or at the account level. And problem solved.

For instance, here is the feature displayed in this screen capture.

A screen capture containing the list of actions available when you right click on the 3 dot icon of a post. The block domain feature is highlighted.

@davidrevoy Man i love how you depicted Meta here.
And the fog makes it look even more threatening!

Fabulous artwork!

I have mixed feelings about Threads. I'm trying it out for now.

@davidrevoy can someone please explain whats going on with instagram threads

Valas Hawkwinter

@alicedotjpog @davidrevoy
Its an activitypub platform with atrocious privacy implications and a lot of instances are not willing to federate with it, and they apparently cannot legally operate in the EU as a result.

Its attached to your Instagram login.

Musk is suing because of alleged "stolen trade secrets" via ex twitter employees, and scraping twitter for data.

Thats about it. Low privacy corporate mastodon with typical silucon valley data mining spyware built into the mobile app.

@davidrevoy A powerful image that, this account is my very first foray into any kind of 'social media'.

I'm a long-time, grey-haired IT consultant so no luddite, but have always steered clear of the all-powerful corporate behemoths and yearned for the 'good old days' when thousands of individual subject-specific forums were independently run by moderators for zero renumeration.

The open/decentralised nature of ActivityPub and particularly the Mastodon implementation is the thing that's brought me... cautiously... tentatively... into the fold.

Here's hoping this or something like it can be the way forward, and the Zuckerbergs of this world will eventually lose their shrivelled-claw-like grip on how the world communicates.

@davidrevoy I like how mastodon is attended by catgirls

nyaeko

@davidrevoy But all in all, despite the horrible Meta tracking, in one day Threads got more users signed up than Mastodon has since it's launch, and more than the entire Fediverse in general.

Konaburd

@davidrevoy Can someone explain this to me I do not understand :[

Sunoo

@Konaburd Got some real “I’m 14 and this is deep” vibes.

Konaburd

@sunoo I'm not even sure what it is about. Is Threads part of the fediverse? And if so can't it just be blocked if people wish to?

Sunoo

@Konaburd Not yet, but Meta has announced plans for it to interoperate with Mastodon. And yes, it could be.

DELETED

@Konaburd @EricMalves the funny thing is the fediverse is supposed to be free and open… except when the majority decide to not be.

Konaburd

@StargazerBird @EricMalves I'm not surprised because it feels very anti-capitalist anti-corporation over here which I feel is a good thing.

DELETED

@Konaburd @EricMalves but you see what I’m getting at? Then it’s not actually free and open if the majority can just decide who and who not to allow connections.

Konaburd

@StargazerBird @EricMalves Corporations are evil and if you let evil in it will just spread. It's the same reason you can't tolerate intolerance.

It is free for any private person but it is also ultimately controlled by the people so I think they should get to choose who they keep around or allow in. Corporations just want to take everything and monetize it.

caws :verified: -a-bit

@Konaburd a large rather unfriendly company can potentially kill the fediverse, through a strategy known as 'embrace, extend, extinguish'. imagine this (simplified) scenario:

1. A majority of the fediverse chooses to accept federation with Threads. support is good, improvements are made, and everyone is happy for now.
2. Meta adds new features to Threads that don't work with other instances
3. Users upset that these new features break on other instances, and are forced to switch to Threads as the other instances become 'obsolete'.

This happened numerous times in the software world. For a company like Meta, this is quite realistic.

@davidrevoy lol. Those cute little elephants (or whatever) can bark no less than Meta. This is pure cringe

@davidrevoy it's threatening now. But anyways to all the MAANG fanbois, why not simply join Mastodon and call it a day

Richard Azia

@davidrevoy Embeded in my blog post. First time I embed a toot in a blog post, which is then part of the fediverse. 😃

Hitalo

@davidrevoy deep down I also feel concerned about seeing Meta with us on ActivityPub.

Thank goodness~ I didn't jump into the bandwagon that fast. :pensive_party_blob:

@davidrevoy threats is right. look what it collects from you

@davidrevoy I believe nobody expected you to hit that hard against Meta, Twitter, and so on. But you did, you really did. And I think the resulting art is really strong, emotional, and expressive, and I do appreciate it.
