I feel tremendous excitement when I see familiar faces on here. It’s like when you’re in school, it’s the first day of class, and your friends come in.
personally a lot of my friends are not the crowd to jump to a place like this so it’s a rare thing to see, but fedi did get me talking to an ‘old’ friend again
maybe when threads is out i might try and bring over some of my friends that will inevitably use it
is it a hot take to say its a good thing that meta joins fedi as long as theyre quarantined to only federating with mastodon.social etal
imo as long as most instances defederate them fedi is not flooded with their users; but normal people in the real world use instagram and i wanna be able to keep up with them from outside the walled garden
idm having a second account that is federated with meta as long as the trash stays there and doesnt bleed out
i also think that threads could be a place for user conversion from the big social networks to fedi if meta users start to realize that most of the interesting content exists outside of the servers that meta wants to federate
i met my fucking bsf at the train station and the first thing she tells me is how this toxic guy she should NOTTT be talking to just rawdogged her 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Okay so like, what if bereal but on activitypub? Like, something like pixelfed except it sends out a push once a day to post a photo (and of course you can boost and interact from here) i think that could be neat
funny enough having it distributed / decentralized would solve the load problem of thousands of users posting at the same time, every server would ideally have a different time to send the notification to post
