Fediverse update thread 🔔🧵

For those of you who don't know, @Threads is being built on the ActivityPub protocol, which means that it will be interoperable with other apps/servers like Mastodon over time. This week we took a small, but important, step by allowing people in the Fediverse, who don't use Threads or even have an Instagram account, to follow my Threads account as well as a few others. Content is starting to flow from Threads to the Fediverse.

While we wait for more testimony:

"America needs to talk about the right's 'Red Caesar' plan for #dictatorship

Step 1: Foment utter chaos, like the McCarthy ouster. Step 2: Tell voters the only way to fix the chaos is dictatorship

“Thought leaders” of the far right talk openly about a 2025 dictatorship. People need to be alarmed.

And now it’s become a lethal force." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/vaccine-scientist-warns-antiscience-conspiracies-have-become-a-deadly-organized-movement/

Apropos of nothing, if you complain that a group of Jews who fight against antisemitism are responsible for destroying the value of your company, you are antisemitic.
This is a VERY bad look for the Spanish FA. Time for the grown-ups to take charge

From the latest #threads release notes

"Open social networking – coming soon
In the future, there will be ways to discover more content and reach wider audiences: we are planning features that allow you to search for, follow and interact with users on open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet"

Sounds like #meta are getting on board with the #fediverse!

@keithmcgrath but at least the bananas have the correct curvature now!
