Le Last-Week Tonight de Noël s’intéresse, oh joie, à Elon Musk.

Si toute la vidéo vaut son pesant de cacahuètes, la conclusion est particulièrement parlante selon moi :

« He cultivates an image that he's too visionnary, too original to play by other people's rules [...] The truth is, that way of thinking isn't remotely original. The least surprising thing on earth is a middle-aged billionaire-CEO with self-serving libertarian views, increasingly racist politics and a messiah complex. »

Ok, here is my #Threads thread, which I'm posting in the middle of the night so it doesn't clutter up most of my followers' feeds. Buckle up. 🧵

It’s the classic Embrace, extend, and extinguish

They became the main browser and pushed standards so now they can use that advantage to break ad-blocking.

If for whatever reason you never wish to interact with #Threads, you can personally block it for your account. This hides all posts and profiles from Threads, prevents anyone from Threads from following you, and stops your posts from being delivered to or fetched by Threads. Simply click the "Block domain threads.net" option on any Threads profile or post you see in Mastodon.

Here is an overview of all the other news that has happened this week in the #fediverse.

  • ActivityPods is a project that aims to combine the ActivityPub protocol with the Solid protocol. The goal of the project is that you can have one account on the fediverse, which hosts your data and followers, using the Solid Protocol. Other ActivityPub applications can then connect to your data. ActivityPods posted an update on their road towards version 2.0, scheduled to be released early 2024. They will also be working on Mastopod; a Mastodon-compatible implementation of ActivityPods.
  • Tagginator is a small new bot for Lemmy, that does something simple but smart: it replies from a Mastodon account to new posts on Lemmy communities that it monitors, and comments with a hashtag that is relevant to that community. This way, people on Mastodon who follow that hashtag will now also start to see Lemmy posts in their feed. As Lemmy will not add hashtags in the near future, this is a workaround to improve the interoperability between the microblogging side of the fediverse and the threadiverse.
  • Heise Online’s editor Martin Holland has regularly given updates on data and traffic for their news account. In the latest update he provides some insight in the decentralisation of the fediverse. It also shows the extend of the peak of the twittermigration last year, and how traffic has slowed down since.
  • The University of Innsbruck put out a press release that they’ll be focusing more on Mastodon for science communication, and that their presence at X will be significantly reduced.
  • Kbin dev gives an overview of the current work and plans for the near future.
  • All fediverse client and server updates for the week.
