Meta & Chat

But I don’t see them in Memmy, so testing a little here pardon.

A social media network code-named P92 possibly compatible with ActivitPub, will allow users to log in using their existing Instagram credentials and share their thoughts.

This could be what Meta has in the pipeline as a possible plan to obliterate Twitter in the future.

Autonomy. Facebook has for the longest time lacked user autonomy, according to some tech reviews and this could be the answer to previous criticism.

From what we know thus far, the feature or app, will work on independent servers to allow users the space to set their code of conduct.

What is it?

Meta is developing a decentralized social media platform which is reportedly aimed at competing with Elon Musk’s Twitter.

Meta is exploring a standalone network for sharing text updates.

Twitter’s possible competitor codenamed project P92 will be accessed using the same login details as Instagram. At least that’s what we know so far.

The app will be compatible with ActivityPub, the protocol used by the open source Twitter alternative Mastodon.

Decentralized platform

Separate servers. A decentralized platform means users of the app will be able to join separate servers and broadcast posts to people on other servers.

Codename P92 is expected to be similar to Twitter, in the sense that posts will allow comments including other possible cool hacks as additions.

Users of the proposed incoming app will gain access to other users information by leveraging existing Instagram data, such as names, profile photos and other information.

As Peter Thiel, one of Facebook’s prominent investor, put it: "Competition is for losers." Yep, those pseudo "market is always right" people don’t want a market when they are in it. They want a monopoly. Since its inception, Facebook have been very careful to kill every competition. The easiest way of doing it being by buying companies that could, one day, become competitors. Instagram, WhatsApp to name a few, were bought only because their product attracted users and could cast a shadow on Facebook.

But the Fediverse cannot be bought. The Fediverse is an informal group of servers discussing through a protocol (ActivityPub). Those servers may even run different software (Mastodon is the most famous but you could also have Pleroma, Pixelfed, Peertube, WriteFreely, Lemmy and many others).

You cannot buy a decentralised network!

But there’s another way: make it irrelevant. That’s exactly what Google did with XMPP.

If you're trying to sign up to join Lemmy.pro you're certainly more than welcome to do so. Due to bugs out of our control, I think, but we're trying fixes anyhow - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. So, if you don't get approved it's nothing personal it just probably didn't come through. You're more than welcome to try again, and make sure to check your spam folder for the confirmation email, they go there usually.

Thank you for your patience!

After weeks of burning through users’ goodwill, Reddit is facing a moderator strike and an exodus of its most important users. It’s the latest example of a social media site making a critical mistake: users aren’t there for the services, they’re there for the community. Building barriers to access is a war of attrition.

Reddit has an admirable record when it comes to defending an open and free internet. While not always perfect, the success of the site is owed to its model of empowering moderators and users to engage with the site in a way that makes sense for them. This freedom for communities to experiment with and extend the platform let it continue to thrive while similar sites, like Fark and Digg, lost major chunks of their user base after making controversial and restrictive design choices to raise profitability.

Hey everyone who tried to register to Lemmy.Pro and you didn't hear anything back from your attempt - sorry I just found all your applications in my spam folder,,,, I just thought we weren't having sign-ups.

But now, I go to the page link where I am directed to approve them, and none show up, nothing shows up there, it's just blank.. so, gotta figure that out.

All I see is, nothing...:

In any case, will fix, sorry for the issue.

Edit: I think applications over a certain age, maybe even a small number of days, might disappear and be gone from the system. Recent / new ones do appear and work.

Great data and filters and it includes easy to copy “! community @ “ links to make it easier to punch them into the search bar to get to them and subscribe while on your own instance

Howdy, welcome aboard! There is some odd task involved when you have a new instance, whereby we won't see stuff here unless we manually somehow go out and find a community, plug it into our search bars, find them and join them and so on. Once one of us does that, everyone else can see that community here automatically in their "All" feed,,,, I think. In any case, I go to Instances I already knew before, and places like: https://browse.feddit.de/ to connect to and pull them in.

Anyhow, if other folks can do it too we'll have a good instance here. We're on a very robust server, for whatever that's worth. Newbies any ideas and suggestions let us know!

Howdy, if anybody wants any community added let me know and if it’s not ludicrous will add it and make you a mod. No NSFW stuff sorry.!
