@atomicpoet wow! Just tried it with my mastodon account! Easy - will it work with Firefish later?

@atomicpoet @fediversenews The Mastodon. That's adorable.

"But he's in Depeche Mode..." 😁

Joviality aside, I left Facebook in 2012, and never touched a single Meta property since. I'm not about to start now. Still in a "wait and see" deal of how Threads is either going to swallow Fedi whole, operate in a bubble with leftist instances kicking them off (FBM), or the day they join the Fediverse, they go Sploink! ...and it's like any other day.

Or something in between those possibilities.

I don't use Meta. Not interested in supporting any of the profiteers of spreading disinformation.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews what does that even mean?

@SkipHuffman
It means the same person has access control to both the accts. So if you know a person on one platform, you can safely assume it is the same person in the linked one.

It is useful if you maintain multiple presence & would like to link the persona.

It's also useful if you're a data harvesting company as you now have more content and traits you can link to a particular identity.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews Yes, I did.

Be under no illusion, #Meta doesn't care for the #Fediverse, or #Mastodon, they only care about making money...
