@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI really wish kbin worked better. I'm not complaining, I am just wishing. I like using it, and would like to use it more, but it can get a little frustrating at times... Still, I'll keep trying to use kbin. I hope it succeeds!

I read this post title and it’s been stuck in my head ever since.

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI'm still not quite sure if I should choose thread or photo when posting an image on mbin / kbin...

@pre@boing.world#Reddit went public then.
There were lots of people saying they were being offered pre-IPO shares due to their community involvement. I'm told at about 35 dollars?
I deleted my Reddit account during the recent API debacle. These days the cool kids are all at KBin and Lemmy the distributed unsellable threadiverse. Won't be no IPO of the threadiverse.
But there's a lot of uncool kids still there, and they are easier advertising fodder.
Usually you'll see a new IPO drop 50% before it even decides which way to go. So I'd say sell 'em fast if you got 'em at 35 dollars. Rebuy at 25 of you really wanna hold long term for some reason. My guess would be Reddit does not do well, even if they become a meme stock.
@beaware@social.beaware.liveThis video is SO good! Anyone who is interested in Fediverse nuances and the issues we've been debating for months now, should definitely watch this video! 4/?

@beaware@social.beaware.liveSo, at the 29 minute mark, Ryan talks about how Mastodon's search discoverability feature is currently opt-in and there's only 5-6% of people currently opting-in. That's a wild statistic!😬 3/?

@beaware@social.beaware.liveRyan made a pretty good point around the 16 minute mark about how Threads wasn't told to make their federation "opt-in" from the Fediverse side and that people feel differently about bridges for some reason.
Even though, they're the same thing, in most ways. 2/?

@beaware@social.beaware.liveFinally sitting down to watch/listen to the podcast with Mike Mccue, CEO of Flipboard, and Ryan Barrett, creator of BridgyFed.
This should be good!😁
So cool to see the leaders in this space share info and help each other make this the best social media project it could be! 1/?

@beaware@social.beaware.liveQuote Posts, being able to limit them, and possibly being able to limit replies, is coming to Fediverse soon enough.
I am a bit worried about these features for all the same reasons that others are, as well.
However, I have another worry that I haven't seen talked about yet, because it's a limited experience so far.
Threads added the ability to limit Quote Posts yesterday and I've already played around with it to see how it works.
I'm worried about Mastodon using the same kind of way to limit Quote Posts as Threads.
Currently, the way Threads does Quote Posts, is that whenever you post a link to a post, it automatically turns into a quote post. Therefore, when you limit them, nobody can even link your post on the site at all.
That's currently how Threads Quote Post limiting works and that really sucks if that severe limitation would come to the wider Fediverse.
My worries might be unfounded. This might be not at all how Mastodon will be doing it and everything will be fine.
Any opinions on the matter?🤔

@beaware@social.beaware.liveIt's such an exciting time for social media.
Fediverse is going near-mainstream due to wide adoption.
Bluesky now "unofficially" federates with the fantastic work of Ryan Barrett's BridgyFed!
Threads has one-way federation and claims to plan to fully federate soon enough.
Flipboard is actively working on Federation, some parts already working!
Nostr is federated using the Momostr Pink bridge which also bridges Threads.
The future of interconnected social media is now. Exciting times, we are in!😁

@beaware@social.beaware.liveIf there were ever a single post that truly shows how running a Fedi instance is, that I could boost to the moon, it's this one.
People still somehow think that Fedi is "opt-in" or "privacy focused" or even "community focused". None of these things are true and I wish more people understood.
It's not a BAD thing, per se. I like it, personally. I choose who I want to interact with by blocking those instances I DON'T want to interact with, but it's OPEN BY DEFAULT is something some people can't grasp.😬

@beaware@social.beaware.liveSunday MIGHT be blog day...🤔
I haven't done that in A LONG TIME. However, there's been LOTS happening and I'm very excited for the future of the platform, right now.
I am obviously still a little cynical when it comes to corporations and their intentions with Fedi, though.
If I have time, (and if I feel good enough. Anxiety is a bitch) I'll do a writing session and detail my thoughts, reasonings, and experiences with this social movement so far.
I'll also be detailing the nuances of each cross-platform integration I have firsthand experience with.
Let me know if this is a type of blog post would be interesting or intriguing to you and it might help me with motivation to pull it off. I don't want to "yell into the void". Especially with something I have so much passion for, and will take some time to complete.

@beaware@social.beaware.liveFediTip of the day:
If your profile and posts are set to "public" and you can read this very post, you should have no sense of "privacy" here on Fedi. That means ANYONE can reply.
There's 20,000 instances and new ones every day, there's NO WAY to tell who is accessing your posts or what they're doing with them.
Fediverse is not some kinda "bastion for privacy" nor is there any sort of "consent" required to see your posts if they are public.
The only way you can be 100% sure that your followers are the only ones that directly see your posts is to make your profile and posts private. Even then, screenshots exist.
Remember, you're on the internet. Once you post it, it's probably not going away. This is true everywhere.

@beaware@social.beaware.liveWell, I have deleted the Threads app. They don't seem interested in integrating in good faith, unfortunately. Therefore I don't see any point in advocating for them further.
Federate with them if you wish, but my first hand experience with their dev team has been completely in bad faith on their part...🤦♂️

@beaware@social.beaware.liveI said it elsewhere, but I say it here too, I HATE how corporate social media sites have taken SOCIAL out of social media.
Thankfully the Fediverse is mostly taking that back. But if we don't expand to get those that are still on corporate social media to move here, then we'll just become the echo chambers we hate. That's why the Threads integration is a good thing. We need to expand.

@beaware@social.beaware.liveSome people get replies and just do not engage at all....
Like, what is the point of posting to social media if you're not even gonna be SOCIAL?!?🤦♂️
Especially Fedi, cause it's not like we have some dumb ad service that pays you for views...You ain't making money here unless you're posting off-platform links to buy stuff.
I just don't get it. It's social media. Not "shout to the void and ignore everyone" media.🙄
