Currently no, but protocols and things are being worked on including one by the PixelFed creator called Sup!. Maybe one day we will have a good messaging system between the fediverse.
The easiest thing to use what isn’t decentralised but is secure would be Signal for the moment. Especially as they rolled out usernames instead of using your phone number
I know I’d at least like all my contacts using the fediverse as I hate having to switch apps to see what people are up to.
Threads is instagrams version of mastodon / twitter. Even know you can login with instagram it does bring it mainstream
I agree with you there; it hasn't made social media great but lots of people make a living off it and shouldn't lose out due to places like America banning an app they make money off.
Yeah people like that would help greatly even if it’s just for the Reddit like experience they used to get where users can just post to you as a creator
Yeah it would just be nice to have some more niche communities being run. Maybe I should help start those niche communities or something but I’m not really using Lemmy anymore but still love browsing the content
Yes I’ll stay active in as many places as I can on here especially when I know a topic. Even better now I’ve worked out a way to interact with people on Lemmy through Mastodon
That's different from a Protocol that anyone can use, boot up a server that has access to the whole Fediverse active posts & user base.
The Fediverse is making it so much easier for people to have users across their own social network platforms, bending the protocols to work with what vision they have, well still allowing others to access it.
Because some of the big users on those sorts of platforms have really good content that can be helpful and annoying to login to a tracking monster platform like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other main stream social media.
Creators on TikTok in America, if they pass the bill to ban TikTok. What looks likely.
@loops is trying to be some sort of 30 second fediverse alternative.
I would like to see the Fediverse grow overtime, also we haven't had to deal with a Decentralised network across the internet before, who knows what may happen.
From what I found, a lot of the people who join Threads, wouldn't have even looked into joining the Fediverse in the first place. If anything, Threads is bringing the concept of the Fediverse to more people and some of those people may find that Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse could be what they prefer, especially if you can still talk with your family and friends on here.
Threads are stuck behind dealing with their investors as we can push the Fediverse with new updates all the time
