In addition to deleting history, could you get direct access to the account and watch better/different content to hopefully get that stuff more recommended too?

sir this is a wal-mart

i love it

Only reason I’m not on Wefwef anymore is because of the lack of haptics. Getting haptic feedback on votes and swipes is just too good, imo.

I think a lot of people feel similarly, we’re just exhausted from all the pearl clutching in the fediverse.

I think it’s cool they’re federating. I’m excited to see some of that mainstream content without giving up so much of my personal info/data.

I’m also excited that there will be defederated places to go to if I don’t want to see/interact with the Meta crowd.

The creator has an official app pending in the iOS App Store right now.

In addition, they’re releasing a “log in with Mastsdon” feature within like the next 24 hours.

But why do they want to consume the fediverse?

The fedidb.org site says the fediverse has ~10m MAUs (a lot of which are probably already on Meta)

Threads got like 10m users on day 1.

It would be such a small increase in users/content for them to consume and most of the people here block ads anyway, so I feel like we’re their worst demographic.

Only if people voluntarily give up their privacy and switch to a threads account/app, right? I mean ultimately the argument is that Meta will develop features so cool that we’ll all give up our privacy for them?

Idk, it just seems like if that’s the fear, I think it will happen regardless and even defederating won’t really stop that. I feel like people will just make new accounts wherever the cool place to be is.

I’m all for defederating just because you don’t want to see or associate with that content though, that totally make sense.

I was wondering what that home button did, that’s so cool! This tool is amazing.

Ha, I applied to two smaller instances and have heard nothing but radio silence. The smaller instances are of no help if they don’t let anyone in.

Correct! However I’d like to test it with Cloudflare tunnel

Most servers already seem to have Patreons or similar donation platforms running, and subscriptions would not surprise me as everyone starts to settle into this thing. It would make a lot of sense to help spread the load and since content wouldn’t be gated behind the subscription, I can’t see why it would be bad.

I think I have similar thoughts on ads. If an instance wants to run ads to support itself, I don’t see an issue as long as those ads aren’t “federated” out and sent to other places.

I think the ability to have all of these different setups, without restricting any access to content, is the beauty of the fediverse. At least as I understand it.
