Threads rolls out ads to all users worldwide

Meta on Wednesday announced it’s expanding ads on Threads to all users globally. The expansion, which starts next week, will be gradual, the company says, noting it may take months for the full rollout to complete.

@smhg It didn't really materialize fully with either of them. For Bluesky, it already works with BridgyFed (https://fed.brid.gy/settings), but only partially - it works for people who follow both the bot and your counterpart on the other side. So it's not fully two-way.

As for Threads, they opened ActivityPub federation only in the US due to legal issues, and even that is limited. Mastodon users can see Threads posts (like @barackobama), but replies stay within Mastodon. Threads users can't see Mastodon posts, and EU users can't enable this feature at all.

By this point I think interoperability between these services won't ever happen. Nobody is driving it forward.

Metas X-Rivale erreicht einen weiteren Meilenstein bei den Nutzerzahlen und will damit mehr Geld verdienen. Threads zeigt Werbung nun auf der ganzen Welt an.

Those surprised, sign below.

Happy to provide detailed documentation to NFB for escalation to Meta. This needs human review from people who understand assistive technology, and it needs to be escalated to Meta's accessibility and legal teams.
How are blind users supposed to access Threads if screen readers trigger automatic suspensions?
#Accessibility #A11y #Threads #Meta

This is your semi-regular reminder that #Discord #Threads are an utter disgrace, botch, and oversight that is horribly inconsistent and makes no sense from #UX perspective.
A change in any direction is IMO better than status quo.

Threads on nyt isompi kuin Twitter

Similarwebin tilastojen mukaan Metan omistamalla Threadsilla on nyt selkeästi enemmän päivittäisiä kännykkäkäyttäjiä kuin Twitterillä (eli nyk. X:llä).

In light of Bluesky’s myriad concerning decisions, I’m finding myself spending increasing amounts of time on Mastodon. I wonder if others feel the same.

Similarly, I’m enjoying the discovery of new voices, and feel my interest in those pledging continued loyalty to Meta and/or Musk is beginning to feel strained. Which I also feel might not be so uncommon.

Wo ist die gesellschaftliche Relevanz? Threads auf Mobilgeräten deutlich vor X

Wenn es um die mobile Nutzung geht, hat Threads X längst hinter sich gelassen – im Web noch lange nicht. Gesellschaftlich scheint aber sogar Bluesky relevanter.

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
