- Comment on What do you personally use AI for? 1 day ago:@jeena it doesn't connect to any server even when you're online?
- Comment on What do you personally use AI for? 1 day ago:@jeena I only use DeepL to translate and that's it. I also started taking notes in .md files, so that could make for a good use case in the future if there was an AI that I could use without connecting to the internet (e.g. to only let me tell stuff based on the files I got). Otherwise I am pretty reticent on AI. Perhaps I watched too many fiction movies, but I am afraid it will become too sentient and somehow escape the human oversight, thus creating havoc in our lives.
- Comment on Substack Competitor Ghost Announces ActivityPub Integration 2 days ago:@hedge Wow, this is big. Fedi needs more macroblogging options to compensate for the domination of Mastodon and other microblogging platforms. And also it being another corporate actor like Meta, but smaller, will create the incentive for Meta to play more fairly in the long run and not EEE the Fediverse with Threads, just like it did with XMPP by integrating it under Facebook almost a decade ago. This is exactly what we need to become and stay mainstream.

- Comment on Apple pulls WhatsApp, Threads and Signal from app store in China 6 days ago:@TheMonkeyLord in China you mean? Well, if CCCP would find a way to control it, then yes.
- Comment on Apple pulls WhatsApp, Threads and Signal from app store in China 1 week ago:
@Stillhart yea, you can, but that means trusting the third party providing the apk. Besides that, China also has a big power over the internet. They could outright block the apps from working altogether only by cutting the connection. Especially with Threads and WhatsApp where you cannot choose any proxy within the app.
In fact, I think they already did it.

- Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers 2 weeks ago:
@sonori the problem is that Discord tried to mix social media with Instant Messaging. This is not something that's working well. On one of them, you just talk to people, ask them about stuff and whatnot (this is why it is also called *direct* messaging). On other, you want to have stuff that is rather more easily accessible and has various other social functions - and it is also designed around it.
You also have a place where you can centralize all discussion (i.e. the feed) so you can at least get an idea of what is going on.
Discord (as a messaging app, primarily) is totally unfit for these tasks.

@atomicpoet well, it's an interesting way of getting people aware of us 😁
I wonder how will external posts display on Threads. For example, on Friendica there's generally an icon next to the post/comment which is the logo of the network people are posting from (e.g. Mastodon etc.). If they would do something similar on Threads it would be quite interesting.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
@atomicpoet it's looking good here in Friendica, as others pointed out (minus @zuck's profile pic, but that's a different story).
I get it however, Threads should do better testing in the Fediverse (or maybe there is a problem with your frontend? Idk)
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
@YakyuNightOwl well, diaspora still exists.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:@atomicpoet it's basically old social media habits in new clothes. That's one thing Threads cannot steal from Mastodon/the non-Meta Fediverse.
- Comment on You Can Now Follow President Biden on the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:@v9CYKjLeia10dZpz88iU he should be able to post here, provided the instance is not blocking Threads. That's how you could possibly ping him. Otherwise, maybe raising an issue could help.
- Comment on You Can Now Follow President Biden on the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:@AGuyAcrossTheInternet well, we know from the article that the first result is the official account. The second is a bird site bridge, but wtf is the third one?!?
- Comment on You Can Now Follow President Biden on the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
@i_am_not_a_robot Lemmy itself does not allow you to follow people, that's why you cannot see him (unless he posts/comments something on Lemmy).
Kbin is the closest thing to Lemmy that allows you to follow individual persons.

@thingsiplay are you referring to the credibility of the information itself? That does not depend on this. They can say whatever they want, whether the server is self hosted or not.
The credibility of the information is given by those who verify what these people said.
- Comment on You Can Now Follow President Biden on the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:@MayonnaiseArch yep, exactly. I mean, if @EU_Commission did it, why could they not do it for Christ's sake!!!
- Comment on You Can Now Follow President Biden on the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:Wouldn't it have been better to just selhost an instance? Like, they'd have more control...
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
@atomicpoet Threads only allows the Fediverse integration for public accounts. Why would someone get their content all in the public for something they don't know about?
Many people I know keep their profiles private on both Instagram and Threads, for obvious reasons (posting about their private life and whatnot). Switching to a public profile is a pretty high barrier of entry to the Fediverse for these people.
- Comment on Shower Thought 3 weeks ago:No, I just did.
- Comment on Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: "Block Threads to Remain Listed" 3 weeks ago:
I kinda dislike the word as well. Makes it seem like it's sort of a separate and special side of the Fediverse, when it isn't. It's just as interconnected and interoperable with other Fediverse software like Mastodon (microblogging) or Friendica (macroblogging) the same way as others are. In fact, here I am, replying to you from Friendica.
Imo people could just call them as they are: bulletin boards. Or just something involving groups, idk (because that's what they are, mostly).
- Comment on Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: "Block Threads to Remain Listed" 3 weeks ago:
@FfaerieOxide Tell them to join the Fediverse from the Fediverse 😀
Like, simply, if you tell them that they can access all the content they want on Threads (because that's why they're there), while not being there, and also see it demoed from you, the person already on the non-Meta Fediverse, they are more likely to make the switch, especially if they encounter any regular issue like being wrongly banned or having network issues.
Hell, even if they create backup accounts here, it's still a partial win for us - they can switch back any time back and forth and see what fits them better. ;)
- Comment on Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: "Block Threads to Remain Listed" 3 weeks ago:
@FfaerieOxide So you realize something is not on Threads by the fact that it is not on Threads? On this logic, I also heard about a bearded man bringing presents on 25th of December each year.
- Comment on Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: "Block Threads to Remain Listed" 3 weeks ago:
@FfaerieOxide that's not how the perception of the masses works, though.
