Naechste Woche soll #Threads in Europa starten. Wie seht ihr auf #Mastodon diese Entwicklung?
Meine (vielleicht) eher unpopulaere Position:
Ich hoffe, dass Threads und auch #Bluesky erfolgreich durchstarten & in Zukunft auch mit dem Fediverse konnektiert werden koennen. Imho waere dies der ultimative Proof of Concept fuer Protokolle und dezentrale Strukturen.
P.S. Ich bin auf beiden ziemlich aktiv. Threads ist fuer US-Technews klasse. Bluesky mag ich fuer ChitChat!
a client made by an enterprise who will willingly backdoor your messages
a client made by 3 people that get random breaking changes that completely obliterate flow
a client that is one giant html5 canvas that uses 100% of your browser gpu power
a client that requires systemd
way too many abandoned android and ios clients
please use fedi we have:
an instance software which is so popular but so feature deprived it makes no sense why it exists, also it's trademarked in a bad way
an instance software that has so much code rot it spawned 500 forks to try and fix it only to become rotten themselves
an instance software that doesn't really know what it's doing and instead implemented 3 different api standards, and this is the fork i'm talking about. no one should talk about the upstream project.
If you have an important meeting or video call going on at 2:20pm ET today, you might want to turn off the emergency alerts, or just leave your phone in another room.
On an iPhone, this setting is under notifications, but you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom, after all the individual apps.
Here's something I hadn't considered previously:
Edit: I'm being told by way smarter people that even turning these notification settings off probably won't stop this test on your phone. But turning it off will.
My feelings so far on the pros and cons of Bluesky vs Mastodon.
Disadvantages of Bluesky:
– posts can't be viewed by those who don't yet have an account
– posts are limited to 300 characters
– no Direct / Private Messages
– no post editing
– max bio length is very short
– no way to see your own history of likes
– no bookmarks
– no way to mute specific words or phrases
– no videos
– no way to Content Warn text, only images
Disadvantages of Mastodon:
– umm… cross-instance interactions with people you don't already follow can be a bit clunky, I guess?
Vielleicht ist das Problem am Fediverse, und wieso manche Menschen meinen es wäre zu kompliziert oder zu nichts gut der Fakt, dass es nicht-kommerziell ist und keine Daten abschöpft und einen nicht mit Werbung zuballert.
Erstaunlich viele halten so eine Plattform nur dann für gut, wenn jemand damit richtig viel Geld verdienen will und deine Daten möchte.
@stephie_hamburg@NumberHill Naja, sind dieselben "Konsumopfer" die #Freemailer nutzen, sich dann aber über Werbung aufregen, zugleich aber nichmals €1 pro Monat für'n werbefreies Postfach zahlen wollen.
Dieselben Leute machen auch #Mimimi wegen #PROSM nur um weiterhin auf #NSAbook.abzuhängen und als Stasi 4.0 - IMs weiterhin die eigenen Kontakte per #WahtsApp zu snitchen statt sichere #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider-Lösungen wie #XMPP-OMEMO zu nutzen.
One of the reasons I stopped making client apps for corporate platforms is because "filling in the gaps" of someone else's platform usually resolves itself poorly. Either the platform holder fills in the gap, they decide the gap goes against their corporate interests, or the gap is itself meaningless and nobody wants a fix for it.
For any young devs out there making a client app for some corpo's API, I strongly recommend not doing that, except for fun projects or things that get you headlines.
I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.
The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.
If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.
The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.
