"Today is the first time we use specification proceedings under the DMA to guide Apple towards effective compliance with its interoperability obligations through constructive dialogue."

Between Meta actively working on compatibility with ActivityPub and the (relative) popularity of the fediverse with (some) European institutions, I wonder if we'll, one day, perhaps see a similar ruling for corporate social media.

Hm, when your fediverse server shuts down, does that make you serverless? 🤔

Does the feature that makes posts based on hashtags come from Mbin or just Fedi.io specifically?

It's quite annoying to have people constantly attempting to dunk on you for upvotes and failing.

Might have to block Fedia.io

I suspect this will go there so hi fedia...😒

Warum?
Wir sind hier alle im #Fediverse, wir sind nicht "auf Mastodon".

Das Netzwerk ist und heisst #Fediverse.

Warum ist das so schwierig zu verstehen?

I wish there was an easy way to browse threads Fediverse content.

I'm sure there's many accounts that have federated that I'd enjoy, but I don't know they're federated or even know that they exist.

Same for bluesky.

I could go there, but there's no way to tell who's federated.😩

I'm a fan of BBS software. IMO, they're still the best type of platform for community-based discussion, planning & collaboration that may span over weeks, months, or more. BBSs are declining in usage, mainly because other social media have eaten their lunch...

But there are still many thousands of forums out there, each an island on its own... Independent; each site a labor of love...

I am enjoying Mastodon, especially for discovering new music, but something about toots & micro-blogging feels like shouting in the wind & hoping someone hears you through the gale... 😆

I use SimpleMachines forums. (Yes, it's still around!) As a baby step to bringing the two worlds together, I developed an SMF mod to monitor toots & post them in your SMF forum:

Kinda weird and sus that some Mastodon instances aren't respecting deletes....

Had a post I deleted last week that just got replied to, from a mastodon instance.

And people wonder why casual users don't wanna be here...🤦‍♂️

Sorry to be posting a test, but I want to see if mentions in MBIN will reach both Mastodon and Friendica. Apologies for posting a test.
