It's time to address the elephant in the room, or actually Threads

As many of you may know Threads went live in Europe and with that they started testing federation with the Fediverse

At this point there is a choice to make

  1. Block Threads on instance level, that will take away the choice for each person

  2. Do not block and let people block if they want to(1 search and 2 clicks)

After much consideration and talks I think we need to go with option 2 and let people decide for themselves

TheFederatedPipe, (edited )

@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 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 alone have more than the whole in a couple of months.

If they later decide to eliminate 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.

It shouldn't be this hard to find a local music player for with the following requirements:

  1. Simple interface akin to the iPod Touch iTunes interface
  2. Compatible with Android Auto
  3. Lets me subscribe to podcasts via RSS

If anyone knows of any, please, PLEASE, let me know. I don't even mind paying if it's solid. I would use but it's interface is too busy for me.

Today, a very niche tip for RSS fans :rss:

As well as Mastodon's built-in hashtag following system, you can also follow hashtags through RSS instead:

  1. Search for a hashtag on a Mastodon server's website
  2. Add .rss to the end of the URL
  3. Use this URL as the feed address for that tag

For example to subscribe to on mstdn.social you would use this address in your feed reader:

https://mstdn.social/tags/dogs.rss

Okay, reloaded. Ich suche eine Instanz für mein Solo-Unternehmen, tatsächlich als -Ersatz. Viele Follower und das Like-Gedönse erwarte ich nicht. in meine : Es kann , 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 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 to replace my old "RIF is Fun" one for doomscrolling interesting topics.

or would be awesome, (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.

would be best, but I don't mind paying outright for something. Ads and subscriptions are deal breakers.

Has anyone else (re)turned to since the 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.

Especially interested in how fellow , , and other are using RSS. What feeds are you subscribed to and what readers are you using? @histodons @academicchatter

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 blogs and sites (e.g. @thesiswhisperer) and one for and journals.

One upside to all the social media upheaval is it's gotten me back into feeds in a big way.

RSS has a lot in common philosophically with the . Makes me think of what might have been... and what yet may be.

Installed the Chrome extension ‘MarkDownload - Markdown Web Clipper’.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdownload-markdown-web/pcmpcfapbekmbjjkdalcgopdkipoggdi

The use case was that I wanted to easily capture in Obsidian stuff that I’d published online. Starting with some Mastodon posts.

The clipper downloads a web page as markdown, with the file extension ‘.md’.

Ok, being built into both and makes moving a lot easier as part of the just point at the RSS feed for the Magazine (Kbin) or Community (Lemmy) and read away in your RSS feed reader of choice.

Kbin example: https://kbin.social/rss?magazine=RedditMigration

kbinserver/rss?magazine=magazinename

(individually named feed file would be nice instead of a generic rss followed by a ?magazine=)

Lemmy example: https://beehaw.org/feeds/c/technology.xml?sort=New

lemmyserver/feeds/c/nameofcommunity.xml?sort=type

@testing Why I think I'd like to see use Magazine specific feed files. Right now it looks like it has a sitewide RSS function that just pulls the data from a database, but then the 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
