Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.

EDIT:

https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/adam-mosseri-says-metas-threads-app-wont-have-activitypub-support-at-launch/

"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @mosseri@threads.net.””

“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.

“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

    It’s very simple. Facebook/meta bullshit on here and I am moving to -tildes.

    Fuck corporations. I hope they all burn and I hope their creators and their born and unborn offspring get cancer and die.

      Why Tildes and not just another instance? Tildes is still headed by a single person

          Can you send it to @curiosityLynx or curiosityLynx on Reddit (haven’t deleted it yet because I want to make sure to edit my comments as subreddits go public again)? kbin doesn’t have private messages yet.

            Kbin does have private messages. Click on your profile icon/name and you should see “Messages” in the drop down menu.

              I should have edited my comment. What doesn’t work yet is sending a private message to someone on another instance.

                Gotcha! I thought something was up with that. I noticed it seemed to not work either. Good catch.

                I wasn’t sure if you knew about messages or not because I’ve seen a lot of people miss features already. Even took me some to e to find a few lol

        Oh I have access, I mailed the creator and he sent me one.

        I’ll create one and send it your way!

      PS Tildes has a nice app now: Surfboard. I kinda hate the website, but using an app is way nicer.
