That’s your opinion but both reports are by lawyers and orgs that have a presence on the fediverse be it accounts and or hosting their own instances. I’m sure they’re aware of what they’re talking about.

Use this for starters https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer
That’s where my frustrations with “consent fedi” come into play. They want to force people to comply with their views. They could go into allow list federation and connect with those that views thing similarly yet they don’t.
That’s old data. Threads suffered for a month but was fine. This is more recent. 141 million MAU https://famewall.io/statistics/threads-stats/
What does it do ?
lol I respect the transparency
Well, it could launch on one platform first, doesn’t mean it’s only going to be for one platform.
Mastodon and many others do not “properly” implement ActivityPub and have a ton of their own extensions and implementations
This asks zero sense as there’s n disclosure on hardly any instance. Also, there’s several non ActivityPub protocols and bridges that have long since been used and peoples content shared
Not true. You’re pushing content to Diaspora, hubzilla, PubCrawl, Streams and many other protocols that are bridged to ActivityPub
Let me ask you this. Tell me what companies and what countries pass this purity test? Where is the line drawn? If someone spends money on leisure in the states for example, are they supporting racism, transphobia etc due to their moneys going to states like Florida, Texas etc? What about people that buy video games even though companies are known to work their employees into depression and have harmful ethics regarding female employees with sexual harassment? Are people that buy games endorsing that culture? How should those victims view fans that continue to make those companies money? What about companies that outsource their manufacturing processes to China? Some companies have put suicide nets to prevent employees from unaliving themselves. Many companies use China for manufacturing. By purchasing products are we endorsing that culture that has led to people taking their own lives?
That’s not true. Bigots can go into web view and still see posts, they have alts on other instances. I’ve literally had friends that this happened to on Mastodon and the perp was making posts about still being able to see their content even while blocked. You run AP, it is not a secure protocol it was never intended to be.
This is an odd take and not even close. It is in fact the Fediverse that would be more harmful. Meta has laws and government scrutiny. There’s a lot of willing filth on the Fediverse. Blocking instances more so became a think the last 1-2 years. Blocking those instances does not mean they don’t exist. Can you find harmful content on Meta’s platform? Sure but that’s mostly due to volume. Where as there’s Fediverse instances straight up for illegal and gross content
You can use these to help you https://fediverse.observer/ https://joinfediverse.wiki/Instances https://www.fediverse.to/
AP did not tie it to an instance. It left it up to clients and platforms. Mastodon tied identity to instances
The app also supports Bluesky and the interview is with the developer of SoraSns. That is why Bluesky is mentioned
Bluesky will be opening up Federation this year. There are a lot of Fedi devs that are also working with Bluesky’s Atproto. The podcast and site is not only about the Fediverse but the social web.
I used Flipboard back in its early days. I would love to hear about your experience
What relevance does this have to the Fediverse?
