Mastodon Migration

This is so cool! WordPress is absolutely crushing it!

"The WordPress ActivityPub plugin has been updated to version 2.0. The major feature of the release is better comment federation... “When you respond to comments from the fediverse on your blog, they will now be federated. This allows you to finally engage in (threaded) communication back and forth directly from the comment section of your blog!”

Congratulations @pfefferle! Amazing work!

How about giving some Mastodon for the holidays!

Even if you support your instance, Mastodon core development needs your help too >>> https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

Mastodon core team member & CTO @renchap has a message out this evening: https://oisaur.com/@renchap/111614485022791205

"The amount of funding Mastodon got this year is probably less than the salary for one of the top engineers working on Threads... we want to focus on getting more money in 2024 so we can hire more people and iterate more quickly on Mastodon."

IMPORTANT. Threads stated policy is to collect and exploit Fediverse user personal data without explicit consent.

Now is a very good time to review Threads Terms of Use (https://help.instagram.com/769983657850450) and Supplemental Privacy Policy (https://help.instagram.com/515230437301944).

Note just by following a Threads user or replying to a post, Meta claims they are entitled to your personal data.

And what do they say they will do with your data? Provide you with "business services (including ads)."

We talk about wanting professional journalists to ditch Twitter and come to Mastodon.

When they do we need to make them welcome!

Today Chris Bing @Bing_Chris a distinguished Reuters reporter covering hacking and foreign affairs has joined Mastodon saying "Hi - Twitter is a garbage fire. I am going to try to use this platform more. Love,-Bing."

Let's show Chris some love!

Said no kid ever.

Spirited debate today on Mastodon about the new opt-in search capability. Some people think it should be opt-out. Whatever you think about this, perhaps let's all just step back and appreciate that a complex requested feature has been added which will fundamentally change the utility of Mastodon for academics, scientists, journalists and organizations as well as ordinary users. Thank you Mastodon devs! We spoke and you listened.
