Not sure that’s right.

Mind you, I fully agree with you on Bluesky, but I think Threads really isn’t much different.

For example, say this integration is fully accomplished. Fediverse users wouldn’t have a real reason to switch to Threads, but because Threads is a much larger platform all future users are gonna go there, and not to the rest of the Fediverse. That, already, I think is an issue. Then, because it’s a bigger platform, most communities are gonna start to be populated mostly by Threads users - simply because numbers rule. The 2nd E comes into play: extend. The protocols are extended. At first, it might not be enough to switch - just some quality of life changes, maybe - but the more stuff is added, the more the experience for the Threads users - aka, the majority of the users on any given community on the Fediverse - starts to diverge from the rest of the users. Now, at this point, a Fediverse user has two choices: either ignore this, or switch. Sure, many will just ignore it - the people on the Fediverse right now are the kind of people that would tend to ignore that, anyway - but plenty won’t, because it’s SOCIAL media. SOCIAL! If your experience differs significantly from your peers, that will bother you, and you will want to change, especially if you’re in the crushing minority.

Embrace, extend, extinguish.

Hey, maybe I’m wrong! Hopefully, even. However, I do see it happening. Hope I got my point across.

It’s only EEE if it’s an entity that could be reasonable expected to do it.

Sure, Piefed could adopt ActivityPub, extend it with proprietary capabilities, and then use that to strongly disadvantage its competitors. However, Piefed is a fully open-source project without ads or any money-making aspect at all, started by some random dude from New Zealand. Not exactly prime EEE grounds, you know?

EEE, sorry.

This is awesome :D

Yeah, what Blaze said…

This is a huge pain in the ass, though… A shame they couldn’t keep Lemm.ee up…

Well, yeah, be kind and post!

As is mentioned in the post, PieFed has Feeds. They’re really cool! There’s also the topics system, which is great if you want to browse specific categories without necessarily focusing on any one given community.

ALso… KEYWORD FILTERING! Super cool.

Every time I hear about PieFed it’s because a feature that Lemmy should have was already implemented on there…

Send you a message [through] your most used app/profile without needing an [account] on that service

No, I don’t think so…

However, what you’re describing kind of sounds like a polycentric identity. Maybe check that out. Also, I believe ActivityPods aim to handle a little of what you’re describing, but I don’t know how much adoption it’s had.

IDK man, over here I don’t think police interactions are as violent as they are in the US…

That is so dystopian, holy shit… I mean, if you see it as something people would want/need, then yeah, that sounds good. I don’t know if such a thing exists, though. This link shares some things, features, and apps that maybe do some of what you’re talking about.

Great write-up by Niccolò.

I actually agree with the commenter on that post, the lack of quoting and using images is pretty bad, especially for screen-readers (which I use), and not directly linking sources (though they are made clear regardless) is a bit of a pain.

Oh, kinda like r9k!

I’ll check it out, thanks :D

I’ve been seeing quite a few posts about this, pretty funny that it all happened so fast.

I believe it’s actually possible to sign in with mastodon on Pixelfed. Wouldn’t that work for a single user mastodon instance too?

You’re right. I’m not sure if it works with single-user instances, but I believe it does. This is the sort of thing that is technically possible — I believe ActivityPods aims to do something about it, too — but I don’t know… I guess federation can be a bit of a safeguard for this, like having a list of flagged instances that don’t allow account creation; requiring certain thresholds of account age or activity to be passed; stuff like that. There’s also the fact that, being social media, no instance wants bots to run wild, so that could, itself, be a check on that sort of thing, and it might not be economically viable to just host an instance strictly for bot-login purposes, so that is just an inherent barrier to wrongdoing.

Meh, maybe it’s more feasible than not.

I think they meant on a post-by-post basis. You can’t farm account karma, but you can farm upvotes on individual posts, for ego, I guess…

There is the vibe-check on Lemmy, though. I don’t believe the algorithm takes that into account.

As others have mentioned in the comments, this might not really work because websites/services would have to trust a bunch of tiny, maybe even single-user instances.

I can see a world where sign-in with Fediverse is possible, but only for a select few instances such as .world, .ml, .ee, and a few other highly-moderated servers.

!!! THANK YOU

Huh, I’d never heard of the Indieweb… Looks cool. I’ll sub to the newsletter as well, very interesting.
