If you're on #Mastodon for a while (or any non-corporate social media) and you jump on #Threads or #Twitter, the posts there are jarring.
Posts read like tv commercials. Everyone's trying to game the algorithm so the writing feels like advertisements— "what happened next will shock you," "90% of people don't do this one thing," etc.
Communities and Markets.
Someone on #Lemmy is compiling a (1,000+) list of verified media organizations on the #Fediverse including #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #PeerTube, #Threads, #BlueSky, and #Ghost
Their most recent post: https://lemmy.world/post/32696641
Yet another reason, btw, not to trust #Threads.
Spannend ist, dass #Threads so ein schweren Stand hat. Ist es das einzige Netzwerk, dass sich ernsthaft um eine Integration in das Fediverse bemüht. Aber Meta wird hier als Aggressor betrachtet und gehandelt.
Laut aktuellen Erhebungen rückt #Threads mit 115,1 Millionen täglich aktiven Nutzern dicht an #X heran, das aktuell 132 Millionen zählt. Während Threads im mobilen Bereich aufholt, bleibt X bei der Webnutzung unangefochten. #Mastodon liegt bei 791.380 monatlichen aktiven Nutzern.

das aktuelle #Torhaus wird unter Anderem auch von einem Poeten aus #Leeds bespielt - aus 'Gründen' stehe ich mit dem Menschen über #Insta in Kontakt. Ich schreibe ihm über den dortigen Messenger von der Fertigstellung der Programmierung und schicke ihm den Link - und der schickt ihn dann zu #Threads um ihm mitzuteilen das es da nix für ihn zu sehen gibt. Nicht, da es mich überraschen würde das #Meta externe Links unterdrückt - aber es so direkt zu erleben ist schon interessant.
Meta an evil company? How can it be?! They’re partners, alongside Mastodon gGmbH, at the @swf (https://socialwebfoundation.org)

@Rebellin_aus_Gruenden @thomasralfkoeb Ist es auf #Threads eigentlich inzwischen für Mitglieder aus der EU möglich, die Fediverse-Unterstützung zu aktivieren?

I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.
Just one is on #Sharkey ( @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?

Meta's AI will also see any post shared on the Fedi if it was shared on Threads.
Every post you’ve ever made anywhere within Meta’s ecosystem. Every photo you’ve ever shared. It doesn’t matter if you thought it was “private” or shared only with yourself — the AI has access to everything.
As the old saying goes: "All your base are belong to us!"
Interestingly enough, if you shared the current whereabouts of someone who does not support Donald Trump — such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Jasmine Crockett — there would be no delay in Meta’s general feed.
This paints an awful image, especially since the justification for delaying posts about Donald Trump and his associates is "general safety."
Additionally, if you share any current information concerning Donald Trump and his associates, your post may be delayed from appearing in the general feed.
For example, if you saw Robert F. Kennedy Jr. eating a hamburger at McDonald’s and posted a selfie with him in the background, no one would see that you shared it for several hours.
Meta is protecting ICE.
If you post about an ongoing event involving ICE, your post may be delayed from appearing in the general feed.
If you encourage people to assist those under threat from ICE, your account may be suspended or terminated, and your information may be forwarded to law enforcement.
I really do work for an evil company.
