The company announced on Monday that it is beginning to switch its user accounts to ActivityPub, which means that everyone curating stuff on Flipboard is now doing so in a way that apps like Mastodon can see and interact with.

    … I just said. You said it too. It’s the thing that we both keep saying. They’re bringing people to the Fediverse.

      Again, that’s not a good thing. I also noticed you didn’t say they were bringing great people to the fediverse, just people. lol.

        Most people are good. If the versions of people we see online are bad, it is because the systems we are using have failed to help us communicate properly.

        Free and open discussion, but only for the people you like?

        Be picky about which communities you join. Use the block feature if you have to. That already applies to the Fediverse.
