Less of a public figure than Zuck I was meant to say. I really do hope they have a goodish intent and I’m sure the Fediverse will keep on going with or without META, just really hope to see more of a general audience join us on the Fediverse

@Zak@lemmy.world It would make sense for him to be but I guess it might be easier to use accounts that are not so much public knowledge like @mosseri@threads.net rather than the head of META themselves. Really hope if it goes well they will possibly even think about doing the same with there other platforms.

@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world @zuck@threads.net @strahlemann@feddit.de

Yeah but rather it not become a breading ground for people like that with Elon’s plans on adding dating into the mix.

Just kill it please, People will be much better off on the Fediverse both mentally and to get away from bigots like Musk.

I’m guessing this is because of more sales of the Steam Deck, haven’t got myself one yet but I’d love to as everyone that has gotten ones has said it’s worth the money as well as is a great way to get through your games on the go.

Shows really how far it has fallen.

That’s not good, especially as they wanted to join the Fediverse in the future.

No luck my end

Yeah I use Mbin as of the moment and it can do most things just not Video ATM, Might have to check my lemmy account to see if I can actually watch content from PeerTube on there.

So Lemmy as Video Support, Good to know.

That sounds even worse, as the admin of PeerTube will have 100% control who they connect with and will have to know every instance in existence to be able to connect with the ones that the content that is good is on.

It just puts smaller creators into a part that they won’t be able to upload and that’s the great thing about YouTube or most other Video Platforms is anyone can create. If the only people that can release content are the Elites then how will they be replaced in the future when they get burnt out, die or just want to move on?

And the only other way that a bigger platform would grow is by ads being displayed on the Instance that brings you back to square one.

That’s what I’m saying, someone already has to follow, you are then relying on the other people on your instance. It’s one of the downsides of the Fediverse in general but it’s made even worse with Video as video takes up a lot of space making each instance has limitations on the users stopping them from releasing so many videos.

Like Imagine if someone like Casey Neistat was still releasing daily videos but they where limited due to the possible instance they where using it would suck as it would stop them from uploading there latest video. Hopefully this gets solved in the future with better storage solutions but still it costs a lot to host Video files and that’s why most people go to YouTube over anywhere else ATM.

I would love to see PeerTube as well as other Fediverse Video platforms to grow, it’s just quite hard for it to grow unless each instance has easily over 100GB per user that uploads.

Even know I wish to see PeerTube grow especially with people at minimum cross-posting, without a way for instances to find content easily without having to know about the creator before hand discoverability will be shockingly bad. Along with this decentralised platforms need to get easier for people to create themselves, as most people who know a bit about computers still don’t know the first step of creating a PeerTube or other Fediverse Instance (I’d love to run my own Instances in the future).

PeerTube is a really great idea but without some way of people finding the content and or having more space to upload that content (As most PeerTube Instances have like a 5GB limit) then it sadly won’t get there.

Seems like they don’t want people helping themself out a hole. If they are going to stop people from spending on things that may not look helpful but might actually help them do something like start a business so they no longer need the government’s money, that sucks.

The government seems to want to have full control and that sucks, expecially for people with disabilities. Oh you have a disability I don’t understand, well you don’t this thing that helps with pain.

Yeah it would be nice to see some other coders ideas on the Fediverse. If I knew the first thing when it came to coding I would creating something that would work me, don’t get me wrong I love the Fediverse and what everyones done just sometimes it feels there’s a few things missing

@PrecisePangolin Thanks, this explains it really well.

@Zink Yeah I would guess some people might pass up a software as ‘safe’ and then it not to be and just ripped the code from an Open Source project.

@RookieNerd I think most instances have there place when it comes to what users may want there user experience to be like;
Mastodon - a more Twitter / X like experience where you can microblog
PixelFed - a more Instagram like experience where you can share Images without the META data collection
Lemmy - more towards a Reddit like experience

The good part of the Fediverse is that we can join together through different parts and interact from our own instances (including ones we run ourselves). The main reasons people seem to not want to move over is because they are used to the social media they are already one, the main people they follow don’t want to move across and Instances are somewhat confusing at first.

My thoughts are that if META does actually make Threads federate then it will not only open people’s mind a bit more when it comes to the Fediverse but maybe other social media’s will follow including METAs Instagram and Facebook making it so you no longer have to worry if you are on ‘X’ website / app instead you just ask for there username and you can chat and see there posts.
