I guess Threads is going to be shutting off Fediverse Sharing soon, seeing as I'm no longer able to interact with Fediverse replies.🙄😒

Didn't I say that would happen and they promised 100x that it would be fully functional someday?

Why yes, yes I did.🤦‍♂️

#Fediverse #Threads #SocialMedia #Fedi #Meta

#Bluesky which once had 15 million active users at its peak has now fallen below 5 million active users. Anyone know how #Threads is doing month over month?

i just discovered @laurenshof and their #Fediverse reports

Very interesting✨

when i see people on #Threads, i wonder why they don't just come to #Mastodon & reach the same audience w/o giving Zuck their $ & data. this covers some issues

Discusses #Peertube which i've been excited about as a #youtube alt for left #media if we can get them to build that migration

#Ghost & #wordpress i've been looking into bc #Substack news, but i'm writing on some issues i see (tbd)

👀 From the Verge's interview with Connor Hayes, the head of Threads:

Threads still supports federation with other apps like Mastodon, but Hayes was clear that it’s not a top priority for the current roadmap. “It’s something that we’re supporting, it’s something that we’re maintaining, but it’s not the thing that we’re talking about that’s gonna help the app break out,” he said.

“As someone who has built a zillion consumer products, it’s just really hard to keep these divergent platforms and products consistent on the same protocol over time,” he explained. “There’s always going to be the trade-offs that these companies are thinking about of how much energy do I want to pour into compatibility with this ecosystem versus iterating on this thing I’m building and seeing what’s valuable.”

So wow, it's almost like Mark F---ing Zuckerberg was LYING when he talked about the importance of decentralization when Threads launched! Who, who could have predicted?

Although of course, they're Meta, they could well be lying again. So let's not get complacent here. Still, it's a good opportunity to take a moment to laugh at all the fediverse influencers who pointed to Threads adoption of ActivityPub as a huge victory for our cause -- and a key ingredient to fedi's success going forward. How'd that work out?

And let's also give credit where credit is due: @FediPact and everybody else who pushed back so strongly against Threads and made it clear that so many of us really don't want them here. They've got infinite resources, and If they were seeing value from the integration, they'd continue to push it. It sounds like they're not, at least for now. Good news!!!!

Last Week in the #ATmosphere:

- 20 million accounts on #Bluesky
- #Threads is taking the competition with Bluesky serious; Bluesky might be closer in size to Threads than thought
- experiments with visualising the firehose
- and a ton of links
