So, who are the mascots there? I recognize Lemmy to the right and Mastodon in the middle, but who else do we have? I guess the issuance of the Kbin cockatoo, Kibby, was too late lol
Looks like PeerTube is on the way left, & Misskey is just after PeerTube. The only one I’m not sure of is the mascot between Mastodon & Lemmy.
pleroma/akkoma?
Looks like that’s the one. Good call.
I think some people are being too fatalist.
Something I liked about reddit was that it was neither Twitter nor Facebook.
If Meta creates its own proprietary version of the fediverse, it doesn’t really change a thing. I’ll just stick to instances that defederate them. After all, there is no Threads right now, and the fediverse is doing well.
This is a reasonable response if you look at this situation in a vacuum. But sadly the open source community got burned a bunch of times already by big private corps. Of course they dont destroy all open source. If it helps them they actually help develop it and only try to overtake it in the democratic sense to gain the most voting and controlling power. But Facebook is absolutely not in a benefit of the doubt situation. They need to show a hell of a lot of good faith and need to be a tiny enough fraction of the userbase in the fediverse to be trusted in my opinion.
Got some examples? And please, something other than xmpp. That feel apart under it’s own weight.
When it comes to open source and open standards, Facebook have done quite a lot. React, react native, llama, graphql, relay, pytorch, docosaurus, zstd, flipper, redux, infer, lexical, jsx and a lot more at https://GitHub.com/facebook
Facebook have already contributed a lot to open source and open standards. Why do you say they won’t continue to do that?

anytime Meta touches anything, they turn it into shit, haven’t you learned that by now?
My point is that if they fuck up and tamper the protocol with their bullshit, it doesn’t matter because there will always be folks who refuse to participate in their shenanigans and just keep their instances out of reach. Plus I’d rather not interact with the Facebook crowd, so it’s a win-win situation.
I will never trust Facebook ever.
it will matter though if a significant amount of users / communities is on their instances, if that happens and people then decide to defederate, that means the resulting community will be much smaller. Perhaps even so much smaller that it will eventually become a ghost town. It wouldn’t be the first time something like that happens!
given that we know Meta is not to be trusted at all, it stands to reason to never allow them to grow big enough inside the fediverse that the aforementioned scenario could happen
But that’s exactly my point. I don’t care about the Facebook crowd, and if the fediverse becomes shitty because of it, then I’ll simply join a community that’s completely defederated from them.
Is that not what we did with reddit anyway?
RIP WhatsApp 😞
But they bought that one, we don’t really have examples of meta doing EEE right? (Since 90% of those come from Microsoft and Bill Gates shuitty brain)
Funnily enough, people are already referring to “tweets” on Threads as “threats”
Threads will be as revelant as the metaverse.
So… Not relevant at all. Meta is a dying company.
Doesn’t mean it can’t drag down the fediverse with it. Threads has already more than four times as many users as Mastodon.
and? that’s inconsequential it’s a different platform
Unfortunately meta owns Instagram, and while Facebook and oculus are floundering, Instagram isn’t.
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org - great art!
I can’t find the user… What did they do to him?!?😰
It’s a mastodon user, I don’t know if the linking is working. Should still ping them, maybe
Test - @bdonvr@mastodon.sdf.org
Edit: Okay just got a ping one hour late on my Mastodon account so it does work, slowly?
@bdonvr@mastodon.sdf.org Okay SHOULD work this time.
I’m using Memmy for iOS and this is the only one actually linked for me.
We don’t want to threaten the community in any way, shape, or form. We simply want to take what is already so great about the fediverse and make it even better. We recommend trying Threads before judging it. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Lol, good troll account. Here’s your downvote.
