No it will not support federation for a while. It's also not available in several countries including the EU. Meta's may have got their user base all fired up for something that may very well fizzle out and die. That's okay, I care not about Meta however those that get a feel for the Fediverse and become familiar may make the decision to relocate permanently, leaving such disdain that is now Reddit and others, even Meta. 🐈‍⬛

This I can agree with, no one wants Meta's rules and regs. Of course, no one has to join Threads. Meta cannot impose any real rules on this entire network or even other solo servers. Threads WILL bring many who have never considered this network, this means more people who will build and help this platform grow. Many new developers could a great asset to the network. No one will allow Meta impose their rules and regs on the entire network. Here's how this will play out...people that see how the Fed. works, although they may be part of Meta's Threads they see they're lorded over by Meta's policies and will see how free and open the Fed. is and cut ties with Meta to find true freedom here or some other server, perhaps build their own, regardless...we have nothing to worry about, Meta on the other hand...meh, we shall see. 🐈‍⬛

My apologies 'moop' isn't part of my vocabulary...try 'Urban Dic." ...We have alternate views. It's okay, live and learn, here's just a small list of the benefits to current users:

• Interoperability: The integration of Threads with the Fediverse fosters interoperability, allowing users from different platforms to engage seamlessly without absurd rules/regs lording over the posts that users can view across ActivityPub.
• No walled garden: Despite these servers having their own unique set of rules and policies, each would be able to communicate with each other bringing many unaware of the Fediverse together and creating a larger more stable user base.
• More freedom: Systems built upon the foundations of ActivityPub collectively form the Fediverse. Right now, Threads exists as a social media platform like
  Instagram or Facebook. But in the here, it would exist like a server, among hundreds of other servers.
• Impactful moderation: As a large platform, Threads blocking hate speech could be quite impactful socially, ridding nonsense which has now became the Reddit norm.Those that oppose this can seek refuge on 4chan 🍀 where the nonsense is Welcomed.

The only true concerns one would have is those that use Threads and unfamiliar with ActivityPub. Compliance, moderation, and privacy concerns being the focus. This is what those that are already part of Mastadon, ActivityPub...The Fedi'V already became accustomed to. Privacy is always a concern no matter the platform deducing the real concerns to compliance and moderation which anyone forking from Instagram will already be accustomed to Meta's rules and regs.

Facts, let's stick to those, shall we? 🐈‍⬛

Think I located you on Element chat via Matrix, I sent a verification to confirm. 🐈‍⬛

Outstanding. 🐈‍⬛

FOSS in programs and appliances are OPEN SOURCE for a reason, consider many to be 'models' used to build upon. Your reason's are factual down to the specific applications/programs however try appending a new function in MSO or adding your on embeddings in Adobe to change the scaling. For those looking to make their programs work for them and have some experience in programming and time, FOSS is perfect to do so, others that use these apps and haven't the time to dedicate to customize features, import their own libs and assets and don't mind paying for it, indeed that may be the better option. 🐈‍⬛

When time permits...I'll give it a push and denote issues and bugs, things that could be improved, but being its early stages I'm rather impressed that it's as fluid as it is with only few hiccups and down-time. As you re-call I'd mentioned it going down once before and within a minute it was back up, so for those that read this, I've found this does happen time to time, roughly four times to myself however in the time it takes to report it to @tyfi it's most likely going to be up again. 🐈‍⬛

OoOOoOoh. Outstanding. Every single day this platform just seems to impress and get better. 🐈‍⬛

I too, never get any notifications really, just assumed that went with it being rather new. I've not had any issue with double clicks however and I never set a standardized language so uncertain on those topics. I find that I can't seem to find my mentions unless they're in my feed however if I switch to Federated feeds, I then can no longer find my mentions at all...odd. 🐈‍⬛

Agreed. Mercedes and others of EV vehicles now "rent" you horsepower. For a extra fee your car's horsepower won't be throttled or limited. Ahhh technology....we've came so far. 🐈‍⬛

Perhaps we can learn from this. As I raised my whiskers from r/programming as it went dark and as took in the Reddit landscape. I dare convey the disgust of my view and what once was a fairly decent host of valid servers covering meaningful content and topics has became home to some of the foulest users and mods alike, hosting some of the most absurd and leud servers. Looking for another habitat for this ole cat, I found none.... r/programming is still down but even if it opens the doors under new moderation, I will not be returning as those that made the subreddit what it was will not be there, thus they may as well parse it with r/programminghumor and be done with it.

I am glad to see other programmers like @tyfi take a stand as well and break ground here. I'm hopeful for this small community. 🐈‍⬛

Irrefutable. 🐈‍⬛
