How long will it take, and real will the story turn out to be? It's hard to know. For one thing, Mosseri has said that Threads' current plan is to "explicitly opt in to your content being available on other servers"; while that's good from a privacy and safety perspective, if they follow through it would also mean that creators to leaving won't be able to take all their followers with them. [If somebody's following you on Threads but hasn't opted in to federation, then when you move to an instance in the real fediverse they won't be following you any more.] And until "eventually" happens, creators can't actually move any of their followers to the fediverse. So we shall see.</p><p>But from Meta's perspective, so what? As Mosseri says, the goal here is to make people <em>feel</em> like they don't have to trust Meta <em>forever</em>. It's a good story, and that by itself has a lot of value at this point. It's getting favorable coverage in the tech press, too."</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>threads</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meta</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FediPact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediPact</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@fediversereport" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>fediversereport</span></a></span></p>

DOES ANYBODY WANNA SPONSOR FEDIPACT?

like unironically? i'm thinking of adding a small section to the end of fedipact.online for some tasteful sponsors. i mean hell joinmastodon.org has a similar thingy. the page gets a fuckload of views, like over a million lifetime so far. i know this probably sounds really silly but i am so goddamn sick and tired of being thoroughly fucking broke constantly and this would be a nice way to be compensated for my efforts with this project. like i am literally always just barely getting by on a shoestring budget in my day-to-day life and it's really goddamn stressful!!! i hate being poor!!!!! it makes me worse at maintaining the fedipact list, and everything else too

for a minimum of $420 monthly you can be featured on the fedipact website!!! contact me on here or via email at v4nt4bl4ck@protonmail.com to discuss!

DO NOTE HOWEVER THAT SPONSORSHIP DOES NOT EQUAL INFLUENCE. FEDIPACT IS FULLY INDEPENDENT.
