https://www.theverge.com/23990974/social-media-2023-fediverse-mastodon-threads-activitypub [www theverge com]

The Verge article extolling the #Fediverse. I personally think the writer has the wrong point. #Facebook isn't good. Its attraction is "everybody I know is on Facebook" and not any of its half-baked features. Therefore, multiprotocol / multi-network federated social is important to dethroning #corpocentric #socnets like XTwitter ( #x.com / #twitter ) and Meta's Facebook & #Instagram.

We need bridges to connect #Nostr, the #OStatus and #ActivityPub fediverses, #Diaspora, #Farcaster, #Bluesky's #ATProto, etc. Or we need instances that speak all of the above protocols / languages.

I feel this writer's exuberence will turn out to be fantasy, mostly because of misunderstanding what keeps people in the walled gardens and what it will take to free them.

  We’ve barely scratched the surface of what the open social web can be — and it’s already better than what we have.

I really like this "posted 12 years to, recieved one hour ago"

♲ @robpegoraro.com@robpegoraro.com: I’ve been blogging http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fasterforward for the Post since 2007 or so. Why bother doing another blog on the side now?
One reason: Writing in a system maintained by my employer for its own purposes shuts me out of many parts of the typical blogging experience, such as playing around with the basic design of the page whenever I like or seeing real-time readership statistics. Plus, the paper just switched to a blogging system that the ombudsman, in a fit of charity, described http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/behind-the-posts-redesigned-web-site/2011/03/25/AFC3GXYB_story.html as “a bafflement to most of us trying to figure it out.”
Another reason: While I’ve enjoyed using my public Facebook page http://facebook.com/robpegoraro as a blog substitute for sharing my thoughts on journalism, technology and other issues that don’t fit in my work blog, that site isn’t set up for writing longer posts. It’s a pain to find older notes I wrote there. And, more important, it doesn’t seem such a good idea to use one site that I report on all the time as my primary outlet aside from work. I’d rather write those longer notes here, then link to them on Facebook.
Most of these reasons applied a year ago; I don’t know why I didn’t heed them then. In any case, please keep reading. I’ll try not to make this boring.

One of the ways #Facebook was able to overtake rival #Myspace was by creating a dedicated user-base built upon exclusivity. In the 00s your mom couldn't be on Facebook because you needed a .edu email address to sign up. Could that strategy ever work again? Would there be benefit in pushing IT to create friendica.umich.edu, for example? #SocialMeda #SNS

#Meta / #Facebook ( #MFB ) plans for #metaverse look farther and farther away from fruition.

I can see some use for a metaverse ( after all, several years ago, many teens and twenty-somethings were clamoring about an early version of the metaverse, #Second_Life ). I just don't think at this point that a single vendor's platform (and remember, they also own #Oculus, the company that makes their 3D goggles) is able to get enough mindshare ... and as far as I know, MFB's version doesn't interact with competing platforms.

#Meta #Facebook's #Instagram service has a new mobile app that directly competes with #Twitter, called #Threads. Threads, with 100M users after 5 days is the fastest growing mobile app ever, according to https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/instagram-threads-twitter-users-elon-musk-million-b2372336.html [www independent co uk]

One hundred million downloads & signups, but I wonder how many have posted at least once. I'd like to see their monthly active users number when it comes out.

#Meta / #Facebook is building a #Twitter clone under their #Instagram brand. Apparently, there's discussion of various #ActivityPub #Fediverse projects' lead developers signing an NDA and having discussions with them.

The participants appear to be deleting evidence.

I'm not spinning a conspiracy theory. I just don't think Gargron or Dansup have any idea what kinds of restrictions an NDA can contain. They risk long-term damage to their projects and some impact on their careers.

#F-Droid has SlimSocial for #Facebook and SlimSocial for #Twitter.

I had not heard of #SlimSocial at all. But since I closed my Facebook account years ago and rarely log into my Twitter account, I don't need them.

https://noyb.eu/en/breaking-meta-prohibited-use-personal-data-advertising

#Meta ( the #Facebook parent company ) tried to bypass Europe's GDPR in order to force users to consent to the use of personal information for advertising. After litigation, the Irish data protection authority was overruled by the European equivalent. Meta faces a fine totalling EU390 in the two cases. A third case is due to be finalized later in January.

@gnu2 That's a good question. I do not know. I haven't had a #Facebook account since around 2010 or so, and I have never had an #Instagram account. There was political and other news discussed, but it wasn't the focus of the people I saw, and I don't remember organizations having much.

In theory, I agree, but in practice, I have used #Ring, the earlier version of #Jami. The experience was so poor that I can no longer get my in-person contacts to try anything that is not #Facebook / #Instagram / #Zoom. And that's without ever trying the #videochat functionality ... we only used text chats and it was still a really poor experience.

I've heard it got better, but of course, none of my in-person contacts will try it again. This also affects apps like #Briar and #Session.
