I look forward to Thread's pending ActivityPub integration.
Then we will have a more friendly social network that can still access the more technical audience of Mastodon.

- threeseed 3y agoI think people are underestimating the potential impact of it. If it ends up being successful you could see governments e.g. EU using it as a showcase of the type of integration they want to see between platforms. So maybe Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky etc end up being forced to support it. And then a similar model proposed for messaging.

- jrm4 3y ago100%. I keep saying, big companies are missing why they REALLY SHOULD WANT THIS model. "Hey, you want to run or pay for your OWN twitter-like thing -- outside of Elon or whoever's control; kind of like you do email and your website? This is that! No more Eli-Lilly situations for you!" (I like Mastodon's model, but I gotta say I'm kind of meh on the actual people who are there now; many can't seem to distinguish between extreme capitalism and mere commerce)
- robertlagrant 3y agoLots of people don't run their own email either!
- jrm4 3y agoSure, that's why I said "run or pay for" And yes, I think those people are doing it wrong too. Not paying 5 bucks a month for email if it's part of your business is absolute madness to me. Who do you call and yell at if something breaks?
