Meta’s Threads has launched a beta allowing users in some countries to share posts to ActivityPub-compliant Fediverse servers. ActivityPub is a protocol enabling interoperability between social networks, allowing posts to flow between networks regardless of ownership. Key points: * Threads users can opt-in to share posts to the Fediverse. * Replies to Threads posts on the Fediverse won’t appear in Threads itself initially. * Meta plans further integrations, including allowing Threads users to see and engage with replies from other servers and follow users on other Fediverse servers. * Future Threads profiles will consolidate followers from both Threads and other Fediverse servers. * Challenges exist due to the lack of standardized features like quote posts in ActivityPub. * Meta aims to provide a fully interoperable experience, reaching new audiences and fostering community. * Interoperability allows Meta to better understand user behavior across different platforms for monetization purposes.

The only thing I can say, it’s always better to use Bluesky instead of the Musk or Zuckerbot crap, not more. It’s not really descentralized, because all instances are depending on one company, they are not independent like Mastodon, Lemmy or other Fediverse sites.


I’m far left wing, but it’s my philosophy, it don’t exclude the respect and tolerance to others (to certain limits). This is what is really important, a unique truth don’t exist.


I don’t think so, there is a lot of very different opinions but all debatables. The only thing which, at least in the instances in my Timeline, are far right wing or faschist users.


I use it often, but sadly I also must use other front-ends, becuse not all YT videos are working or don’t even appears in the searches (Invidious, Piped, PokeTube, ViewTube, DTube, Tubo…). Hard work for devs like you to show the middle finger to YT, congrats.
That is a general problem in the internet, not only in Lemmy, images andother content can be copied, this you can’t avoid, it would even be imposible if you could delete embedded images in Lemmy, someone could have copied and pasted it somewhere else. But by using an imagesharer where you later delete the image, you also eliminate your origin as the author, since it no longer appears in your contributions in Lemmy or other sites.
Because of this, I never upload directly an image to Lemmy and others, using instead a sharing tool (FileCoffee, IMHO the best). With my account there I can easily delete the hosted image with which it disappear everywhere.


That’s the point. If you only read posts in your own lenguage, you miss 90% of the information in the web.


On social networks for a long time, with excellent translators available, I don’t really care what language a post is written in. In this way I have found a lot of information, new things and very interesting contributions, which I would have missed by using filters.
If the inbuid translator in your browser isn’t enough, these are anyway better (both FOSS). Maybe the best ones you can find. both multi-engine, full customizable. Translate full page, selection, words, inverse translation, more than 120 lenguages.

Good reason. Do you know this one? (made in the EU - France). In Matodon https://framapiaf.org/@systemd (in French)

Yes, but why you’ll use an social network which isn’t federated? If you don’t want Mastodon, there are a lot of other alternatives, apart of Lemmy.
With Vivaldi Social you can (similar mascot), full integrated in the Fediverse.



I always thought that Linux is a better platform for games, the problem until now was not this, but the availability of games for Linux.


No ads here with adblocker + this. Anyway now I watch YT well with LightTube, or well on Desktop with MotionBox Video Browser or SMplayer. Faster, better quality and without any ad. FYT


Religious symbols where they belong, in churches, temples and religious institutions, in public places, administrations, public libraries, schools and universities have absolutely nothing to do with, there they can result in offense or discrimination for people of another or no faith. Sad politicians making an oath on the Bible (in Spain they do it on the constitution, without additions like “with the help of God”). Religion is a true social backwardness, the proof is theocracies, there are none in the world where basic human rights are respected and where social progress is possible.


In Spain religious symbols in public workplaces, official places and buildings are banned since years. You will see them only in religios buildings and churches, maybe in some old monuments.
Novadays not even a Playlist, without YT paused it after some pieces or in the middle of those, which also need an extension to skip this, apart of another extension to avoid the clickbaits in most of the videos. As least, YT only with a good adblocker + the uFrame script + YT Nonstop or similar (depends on the store) + Clickbait Remover, as basics, or otherwise and better frontends (before Google kills these all) Piped, Invidious, PokeTube, or desktop, apps like MotionBox Video Browser (the best, but shitty UI), FreeTube or at least SMplayer. YT lacks a really alternative, the only I know which in ammount of content can it be in the future is Odysee, PeerTube is nice but the ammount of content…mhe. Only for music I use this one sometimes, there genres for every taste and mood 24/7 nonstop https://www.internet-radio.com , well in the browser or also with downloadable m3u files in any mediaplayer.
I know that you need to subscribe reliable info channels, which I have done. Naturally there is good content on YT, but this, among the amount of content there is… how much? 1%-2%, maybe 3%? Trusted source is something else
There isn’t, the only posibility is creating an own instance of Mastodon or whatever, where you can implement the corresponding rules and filters for kids. The fediverse as such can’t never be safe for kids, due to it’s own structure if safe instances are federated with such which are not family safe. https://blog.elenarossini.com/gotosocial-empowers-you-to-have-your-own-home-on-the-fediverse-with-unique-controls/
Alternatively social media, specific for kids
https://www.internetmatters.org/resources/social-media-networks-made-for-kids/
It is always needed to educate the kids about the risks and for an correct and safe behavior in the network, using safe search engines, eg.SwissCows, private and family safe by design.
