Mastodawn

Dylan Jun 21, 2023

So Instagram is coming out with a Twitter competitor* that runs on ActivityPub and will be interoperable with Mastodon. Seems awesome to me at first glance, though I have some reservations about how IG’s instance may be run.

There’s talk that some Masto instances will immediately block IG’s instance when it comes online. How do y’all feel about that?

I don’t see the benefit in immediately blocking IG’s instance. At least give federation a fair shot, IMO.

A leaked marketing slide from Lia Haberman gives us our first look at Instagram’s upcoming “text-based” app that’s supposed to take on Twitter.

@Dylan I will be leaving any instances that don't block it, and then blocking those instances on my other accounts.

May I ask why?

@Dylan why wouldnt you? I literally deleted my facebook account nearly a decade ago and block their tracker domains. For all the supposed anticapitalists here there sure is a lot of capital bootlicking going on. Also I honestly couldn't give a shit what people that hold anti worker opinions have say and instead of having to read their shit, they go where they belong, with the racists, sexist, homophobes, etc.
