The company announced on Monday that it is beginning to switch its user accounts to ActivityPub, which means that everyone curating stuff on Flipboard is now doing so in a way that apps like Mastodon can see and interact with.

    Yes, it’s important with one very important distinction. We want more people that are going to make the place better, not worse. Bringing threads people here isn’t likely to do that. What if we block them until we have our feet under us with great people, then we can decide if it’s worth it. This would be way easier than building a new fediverse. Also, start inviting small forums to check out your community to make it thrive, not huge userbases with hellish corporate overlords.

    Do you know how I know the people coming over won’t be great? Not a single person has ever brought up how great the people who would be coming over would be. It’s only, there would be more.

      I don’t necessarily want more people, just the people I have interest in following. Most of those people didn’t stick around here for more than a couple weeks after the Twitter takeover though.
