From what I found, a lot of the people who join Threads, wouldn’t have even looked into joining the Fediverse in the first place. If anything, Threads is bringing the concept of the Fediverse to more people and some of those people may find that Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse could be what they prefer, especially if you can still talk with your family and friends on here.

Threads are stuck behind dealing with their investors as we can push the Fediverse with new updates all the time

It’s a similar dream I have. People need to jump ship and go towards the Alternatives.

Really hope it doesn’t get delayed but also wish for both the staff not to have mental health issues or us to get another unpolished game released to us.

Yeah, Just don’t post something you’ll regret, it’s called Accountability.

Easier to get fediverse users on there over everyone else from what I’ve found. People can be stubborn

Currently no, but protocols and things are being worked on including one by the PixelFed creator called Sup!. Maybe one day we will have a good messaging system between the fediverse.

The easiest thing to use what isn’t decentralised but is secure would be Signal for the moment. Especially as they rolled out usernames instead of using your phone number

I know I’d at least like all my contacts using the fediverse as I hate having to switch apps to see what people are up to.

Yeah, I think that’s the conclusion we have come to. Donations are what makes the Fediverse great, I guess it just might be nice to make it easier to display / click on in the future.

Isn’t most websites?

Threads is instagrams version of mastodon / twitter. Even know you can login with instagram it does bring it mainstream

You compared it to something that made new jobs with elections.

You may not need to work, but plenty of people do, and not everyone can work a normal 9-5 like everyone else due to disabilies, skills or other needs.

So how does the Fediverse make new jobs?

That’s fair enough, Yeah love Ko-Fi as I run one for an Org that I helped create.

I guess Ko-Fi and other alternatives could be a good way for people to earn money without all the other crap that normal social media has.

I agree with you there; it hasn’t made social media great but lots of people make a living off it and shouldn’t lose out due to places like America banning an app they make money off.

It wouldn’t be the same sort of thing, obviously. @loops is trying to be a 30 second video platform closer to what Vine was more than TikTok with their 3 minute videos.

That might take a while with all 2 million of them lol

Yes, ActivityPub 2.0 is working on that from what I can see. It would be really cool to see how that turns out. Bluesky’s not using the same protocols though, so unsure how they are going to fix with all of that.

Yeah people like that would help greatly even if it’s just for the Reddit like experience they used to get where users can just post to you as a creator

Yeah it would just be nice to have some more niche communities being run. Maybe I should help start those niche communities or something but I’m not really using Lemmy anymore but still love browsing the content

Yes I’ll stay active in as many places as I can on here especially when I know a topic. Even better now I’ve worked out a way to interact with people on Lemmy through Mastodon
