Okay I finally did a full write up of the event I went to just before Christmas at @meta in San Francisco in which they laid out their plans for integrating Threads with the Fediverse. It's very long and thorough. Love to get people's thoughts. http://plasticbag.org/archives/2024/01/how-threads-will-integrate-with-the-fediverse/
@tomcoates as someone who was at this event as well, I think this is a great writeup
@mmasnick @tomcoates Apropo of absolutely nothing, glad to see you back on the Fediverse. Hope you stick around a bit and the scolds pi$$ off this time around. You are a trusted voice.
@notthatkaren @mmasnick @tomcoates
I'm pretty sure they're mostly all in on BlueSky.
@maegul @mmasnick @tomcoates Yeah, correct. But I still want to encourage the voices I feel are important. Fruitless it may be, but at least I am trying. Sigh.
@notthatkaren @mmasnick @tomcoates
My, perhaps uninformed/naive take, is that for those that value decentralisation, the fediverse being "friends" with bluesky/atproto will make more sense over time.
BlueSky/atproto is closer to a different take on decentralisation than anything else going on at the moment. And the fedi and bsky may be better off "together" than "enemies".
@maegul @notthatkaren @tomcoates bridges will be built, though there are some fundamental differences in the two protocols that may limit the usefulness of the bridges beyond just the sharing of content.
I still worry about the allergic reaction to algorithms here, and greatly appreciate Bsky's approach towards algorithms.
