I'm asking myself if this will change the focus a little bit, so that people won't call the Fediverse "Mastodon" anymore.
No, the whole thing get renamed to social web ... good to be not at the #Mastodon network.

@Only a :verify_anime: fl👀f. @Michael Vogel The Mastodon network is dead, long live the Threadiverse: https://mastodon.social/@toddalstrom/111633959635456948


Looks like the #threadiverse has been widely used by the #Lemmy and #Kbin communities for years, but now it's slowly being co-opted (including by #Meta staff) to refer to the #federation of #Threads.

I predict a complete takeover of the #hashtag, and term in general, before the end of 2024.

No, there is only 1 god of Mastodon who gave Flipboard a interview and they talked about social web to integrate all.
@Only a :verify_anime: fl👀f. @Michael Vogel This god is about to be sidelined. Not sure I can believe "social web" will take hold if there's any pressure to adopt "Threadiverse". That's one of the downsides of Meta entering the space, the pecking order is reshuffled at the top.
At the moment he is who decides about the fedi or better how the mainstream sees it.
@Only a :verify_anime: fl👀f. @Michael Vogel Oh sorry, I thought you were sarcastic. he definitely doesn't decide much thanks to the decentralized aspect of the Fediverse. His decisions have far-reaching consequences, but he definitely doesn't have much control and the little he has is about to be stripped away by the Meta behemoth. Hope it was good for him while it lasted.

Eugen and sarcastic is the same as Mastodon and fun …

We will see, at the end it will be good for him as he has the option to sell the company, make money and start something new.

@Only a :verify_anime: fl👀f. @Michael Vogel If he ever sells, he will definitely become the Fediverse Villain of the Week.

"People have long been angry at Gargron for sucking most of the Fediverse attention towards Mastodon through no particular fault of their own, and I believe it’s about to change, and not necessarily for the better."

But wait:

"...we are seeing that the system is not federating correctly due to certificate errors on Threads side. We understand that they are working to resolve those certification issues with assistance from the Mastodon core team"

I don't know about you, but I don't like the sound of that, one bit

@Hypolite Petovan @Michael Vogel I personally think that every instance should limit their threads interaction or the global feed will become nothing but threads posts. I just want tot be able to follow some people on threads I can't here because they haven't come over. I don't want my options of global feed destroyed by threads users.

@anubis2814 the global feed is already filled by Mastodon posts fwiw (at least on my end. When Reddit had the crisis in summer, Lemmy threads came to fill the space. I would certainly not be surprised to see Threads taking the place of both when their federation will go live.

@Michael Vogel @Hypolite Petovan

@Cătă @Hypolite Petovan @anubis2814 I can imagine some server based filtering, like we have it for the local timeline where we can activate a filter, so that single users don't flood the timeline.
@Michael Vogel @Hypolite Petovan @Cătă Perhaps Friendica should have an opt in option for threads and whether full or restricted to make it more like the Twitter mirror
@Cătă @Hypolite Petovan @Michael Vogel I don't mind the rest of the fediverse filing the global feed, that's kind of the point. Threads is just so much more massive we will never find anyone from the fediverse if you fully federate with threads

@anubis2814 yea, that's right. And it will be a hard push for us to get people over. The only thing that could help in all this EEE Damocles's Sword thing would be actually Mastodon, I think...

@Michael Vogel @Hypolite Petovan

@Hypolite Petovan @Michael Vogel They are a mulitibillion dollar company and they need assistance from people working for free??? That's lovely.
Who says that they don't pay them?
@Michael Vogel @Hypolite Petovan Good point, which may or may not make things worse. I really hope activitypub isn't going to be changing for threads.

Actually Gargamel has been hostile to trust & safety changes submitted by the queer community for over 5 years now, railroaded full text indexing, and is clearly attempting to carve out a Fediverse fiefdom during the gold rush days. The sooner folks escape Rochko’s Basilisk the better. Eugen is every bit the problematic techbro he appears to be. It’s easy to spot his embrace of “Dictator for Life” from the #BDFL badmeme. Also notable how Garg downplays any responsibility for Benevolence in that blessed arrangement.

Thankfully Fedi is more than Mastodon. We do need more hostile forks of the Mastodon project, though. And probably a reference implementation that G doesn’t control.
