  • I thought beehaw.org defederating from us would not affect post/comments on shared source instances, e. g. lemmy.wtf, which is neither defederated from beehaw.org nor us:

    https://lemmy.world/post/149743

    Why do I see posts/comments from beehaw users on communities outside lemmy.world and beehaw.org?

    That’s because the “true” version of those posts is outside beehaw. So we get updates from those posts. And lemmy.world didn’t defederate beehaw, so posts/comments from beehaw users can still come to versions hosted on lemmy.world.


    https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md#the-announce-activity

    After the group successfully verifies and wraps the received activity, it sends it to the inboxes of its followers. Followers then use the outer Announce activity to verify that the content was really approved by the group. After this step the Announce can be discarded and only the inner activity shown to users.


    Cloudflare Challenge?

    Since lemmy.world is now behind Cloudflare, is it possible that federation is hit by Cloudflare Challenges as described here?






  • I’m not even sure that Threads will actually open up to the Fediverse since it would allow people to interact with users/content on Threads without needing an Instagram/Meta account and without using one of Zuckerberg’s intrusive apps. People could actually ditch their Instagram/Meta accounts and switch to a Mastodon acount while still be able to interact with their existing/previous network.

    There is actually a certain risk for Threads/Meta to loose users to Mastodon/The Fediverse. That’s why my initial guess is/was that Threads will either only federate in one direction, i. e. only allow their users to access federated content but not the other way, or that Zuckerberg believes that his apps are so much “better” (despite their privacy issues) that people prefer them over a FOSS alternative.

    Now I see that Meta’s plan is much more clever. The mere threat of Threads connecting to the Fediverse is enough to begin the (E)xtinguishing, i. e. people (or are these Meta Bots?) are “threatening” to leave instances who do not proactively defederate from threads.net instead of trusting their admins to actually have a close eye on the situation.

    I do not trust Meta/Zuckerberg, because of its/his actions in the past. The very opposite is true for the admins of the fedivesre instances I have accounts on. So far they have acted very reasonable and worked their asses off to keep things running. That’s enough for me to trust them on actually keeping a close eye on the situation.

    Thanks @[email protected] and all the other reasonable admins like @[email protected]! You are doing a great job!
