@stux This is the way. I think people are overreacting about threads, ActivityPub is an open protocol, no one owns the network and anyone can join. You don't want to interact with them? Join an instance that is not federated with them or block the domain, the protocol allows you to. Let people enjoy things, many will love to follow their friends or favorite creators without having to go to threads.net directly or any other centralize service, and this open the possibility to even follow an account through #RSS on threads more easily. The truth is, people don't care about centralization, ads, algorithms, they love them.
We are less than 1% of meta user base, it is not like they are hungry for a few millions of user in the fediverse as fedi users are making it seems to be, when they have billions across their services, and #threads alone have more than the whole #fediverse in a couple of months.
If they later decide to eliminate #ActivityPub from their services, the fediverse will remain the same as it is right now, used for people who are considered techie.
Facing pressure in India, Netflix and Amazon back down on daring films
In the last four years, a chill has swept through the streaming industry in India as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party tightened its grip on the country’s political discourse and the American technology platforms that host it.
Okay, #Pixelfed reloaded. Ich suche eine Instanz für mein Solo-Unternehmen, tatsächlich als #Instagram-Ersatz. Viele Follower und das Like-Gedönse erwarte ich nicht. #Einbetten in meine #Webpage: Es kann #RSS, also werde ich es hinbekommen, irgendwie.
500 Zeichen Text zum Bild reichen aber nicht. Mit privaten Fotos bin ich derzeit als @nielso unterwegs – dort gibt's üppige 5000 Zeichen.
Welche #Instanz würdet Ihr nehmen? Kommerzielle Nutzung erlaubt, mindestens 1000 Zeichen, kein weiterer Scheiß? Gerne auch mit obligatorischem Spenden-Obulus.
Prophylaktischer Hinweis: Bitte beachten: Kommerzielle Nutzung muss nicht Spam-Dünnpfiff heißen. Werbung, die sich Leute qua Abo freiwillig anschauen, darf man durchaus Information nennen. Und man kann auch nicht klagen, dass kaum Institutionen im Fediverse sind, und dann alles nonprofit wollen. Irgendwie müssen die Kartoffeln eben bezahlt werden. Ich stehe zu meinem Nahrungsbedarf.
I'm looking for an #android#widget to replace my old "RIF is Fun" one for doomscrolling interesting topics.
#lemmy or #RSS would be awesome, #news (real, not Fox) is OK. But it wants to be full wide, one row, minimal, and ideally featuring a virtually endless pool of links that can click through to a web page or its own viewer. Preferably it's designed to respect prime handheld real estate.
#foss would be best, but I don't mind paying outright for something. Ads and subscriptions are deal breakers.
Has anyone else (re)turned to #RSS since the #enshittification of social media began? The level of control over my feeds and the absence of algorithms (mostly speaking...) has been a breath of fresh air.
I'm using Feedly purely because I had a very old account gathering dust but I'm not super keen on its slant towards business users and its AI push. As for feeds, I've got two groups - one for general #academia blogs and sites (e.g. @thesiswhisperer) and one for #history and #sts journals.
Thinking about Hacker News but sprinkled with #activitypub
imagine being able to reply and participate to any #HN post from the #fediverse and with #webmentions have fediverse comments mingled with native HN activity.
Ok, #RSSFeed being built into both #Kbin and #Lemmy makes moving a lot easier as part of the #redditmigration just point at the RSS feed for the Magazine (Kbin) or Community (Lemmy) and read away in your RSS feed reader of choice.
@testing Why I think I'd like to see #Kbin use Magazine specific #RSS feed files. Right now it looks like it has a sitewide RSS function that just pulls the data from a database, but then the #RSSFeed generated all are named a generic kbin.social even though the data properly displays for the Magazine feed. Right now, ANY magazine you add to a RSS feed reader will have the generic kbinservername Title. That feed seems correct though. You can just rename the feed kbin.social magASEAN
