I've found that, currently, this kind of works and kind of doesn't. I've boosted a few lemmy and mbin comments from my Mastodon account, and it shows up in feeds just like you would expect it to. Unfortunately, the parent post of the thread only shows as a link to the lemmy/mbin thread, rather than showing the full text of the original post. So it's hard for people to see the context of the comment.
Mastodon appears to see lemmyverse comments the same way it sees Mastodon comments, but the top-level post that started the thread is somehow different.
Man, I had forgotten how much the "purity" of stars like Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson was talked about. It didn't even seem weird at the time. (Although I was a little kid, so I probably just couldn't notice the hypocrisy.)
A quote FTA:
“Wokeness is dead,” gloated right-wing commentator Richard Hanania on X back in March, over a video clip of Sweeney in a black dress with a plunging neckline, her breasts at the center of the frame. Hanania’s logic was obscure, but it seemed to go something like this: Sweeney’s prominently displayed chest was somehow inextricably opposed to the progressive ethos currently fashionable in popular culture.
This whole issue that this article is describing is a perfect example of why it's impossible to argue against the right on their own terms. Their process is like this:
I'm hoping that this will "just work" when Mastodon gets quite-posting. You could take a Mastodon post, and then quote-post it into a community by mentioning that community's name.
This would create a separate thread of replies, which is good. A person shouldn't be able to suddenly thrust a bunch of community replies onto someone else's post. So basically it's what quote-posting is for, but sharing it with a community instead of just your own followers.
I think it's worth as a long-term goal for the Fediverse to entirely separate the "view" aspect from the "content" aspect of platforms where reasonably possible
This perfectly describes my ideal fediverse, too. Pretty much everything we're doing here is posting text; it can be a comment on someone else's text, or a comment on a video, or a top-level post in a community, or a top-level post on your microblog (which is basically your own community where you're the only top-level poster). IMO the type of fediverse server you choose should be based on which one has the best UI for the viewing and posting you'll be doing most often, but they should all be able to show everyone else's content as much as possible.
If I need to, I'll create separate accounts for separate interests, like one for games and one for professional things. But I'd like to use the same account for following indie game developers (on Mastodon) and gaming communities (on Lemmy) and commenting on game review videos (on Peertube).
I also want interoperability between microblogging and threaded services, but unfortunately I'm a little skeptical about the account mirroring concept. Or, at least, I'd like more details about it.
Do users need to opt-in to have their accounts mirrored, like how they do with brid.gy right now? If there are a bunch of users with Bluesky accounts that don't have Frontpage accounts, that would mess with the ability to have all comments showing up between the two services, and it would prevent some people from posting a comment on someone else's comment if one of the commenters has not opted-in to have their account mirrored. Or, can a plain Bluesky account comment on Frontpage threads, but not start a thread?
I like the idea of being able to quote-post link aggregator threads to your Bluesky account, but I think ideally this would only require one account. Which would mean you could also use your Bluesky account to start a thread on Frontpage.
I don't know, unfortunately. This reminded me that I used to occasionally read product reviews on epinions.com, which was apparently was taken offline in 2018. It was basically what you're describing. Another proprietary website bites the dust and loses all content. :(
I heard about neodb.social recently, which is for entertainment media and is popular in China (although you can post in any language). Seems like we need something like that, but without specific product types in mind.
I would definitely pick it up -- I was always curious about this game. I remember hearing about it when it first came out and I didn't even really understand what the game was. It sounds like it was the perfect, quirky, in-group fanservice full of inside jokes for Dreamcast owners.
the day after Playstation's 30th anniversary
Whoa, I didn't know that. The Dreamcast's 9/9/99 launch date in North America is so memorable, I had no idea that the Playstation came out exactly four years earlier. So there are two birthdays today!
(Disclaimer: haven't read the article yet, definitely going to get to it later today.)
This is kind of thing where I am so torn between philosophy and pragmatism.
On a meta note, 404media continues to be the best subscription I've ever paid for.
