frankiesaxx, to Facebook

You know what, you guise are right: there's no way #Facebook will be good for the #fediverse

me hoping facebook users might get a glimpse of internet outside their cave is naive at best

FB is gonna show up with the carrot of shiny UI and implement all the engagement driving sticky features which average users ask for and Mastodon devs have resisted

I don't think FB sees the fediverse or Mastodon as a competitor tho. I think it views us as a field of unbranded data cows free for the milking

@frankiesaxx
In fact, the data of users of decentralized platforms is not useful at all, it is just a name and an image, and some posts do not bear the simplest information such as an ip address

I don’t think Meta will do this.

I think it will use the #EEE strategy to kill #activitypub

@frankiesaxx
True, it can be considered a part of EEE, but I don't think #Meta needs to do this

Samboland, to fediverse

Trying to really get into the #fediverse. I have accounts on #lemmy and #kbin now. With both Twitter and Reddit falling to greed, hopefully these platforms will be a new safe haven.

@Samboland
These platforms need to improve the #ui

It's a big obstacle to their success

@Samboland
#Lemmy ui is compatible with the phone unlike kbin
but it's never good especially for those coming from Reddit

Meta might put an end to Jack's #bluesky (good riddence) and Twitter with their own competitor to Twitter powered by ActivityPub.

As much I don't like Meta, it might be a good thing as ActivityPub that powers Mastodon, Calckey, Misskey, Pixelfed, Akkoma, etc will finally go mainstream.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23754304/instagram-meta-twitter-competitor-threads-activitypub

I still recommend users to join Mastodon, Misskey, Calckey, etc for their microblogging needs as Meta's solution will probably be limited in terms of features.

This is difficult because activutypub does not support the transfer of accounts

I think the only advantage in ATP is portability

@chikorita157 @Rob
That's what I meant, the transfer is only supported by the platforms themselves, nor is it a complete transfer

Since it depends on the platform's desire to allow the transfer, do not expect Meta to allow it (If Meta allows it or not will not affect because their new application will not allow the operation of your own instance)
