Today's social media transform us into merely numbers.
No problem for me.

You can write a reason when you report a post. Are you actually seeing that as a moderator?
Nowadays, we have got two more Twitter alternatives - one more similar, than Mastodon (Bluesky) and one bigger than Mastodon (Threads).
All that "sign-up difficulties" (2, 6) should be no more after the official app making mastodon.social a default instance.
It was available from day one of kbin.social. And even earlier.
this means KES has became MES too!
You mean lemm.ee, huh? :)
Interstellar app will not work on kbin.social, because this server has not opened its API yet. For the app you have to use either a Mbin instance or (for vanilla /kbin experience) kbin.earth
You can follow him from kbin.social
Interstellar for Android, but then your instance is kbin.earth.
kbin.social has not opened yet its API.
Or simply use a website as PWA.
Originally a thread on Twitter about the xz/liblzma vulnerability, when I finished typing it, I realized I had a real world slice of Open Source interaction that deserved more attention.
No. It is a version of Mastodon available on some instances, like infosec.exchange or mstdn.ca
Pamela Paul: Is Threads the Good Place?
An alternative to X, it turns out, is just another battlefield.
An alternative to X, it turns out, is just another battlefield.
Once upon a time on social media, the nicest app of them all, Instagram, home to animal bloopers and filtered selfies, established a land called Threads, a hospitable alternative to the cursed X, Formerly Known as Twitter. X had been taken over by the Dark Lord Musk, he who reopened X’s gateway to its banished demons Donald Trump, Kanye West and Andrew Tate.
The good people of X tried to flee, scattering to the hinterlands of Mastodon and Bluesky, whose distant confines they then complained about on X.
But Threads would provide a new refuge. It would be Twitter But Nice, a Good Place where X’s liberal exiles could gather around for a free exchange of ideas and maybe even a bit of that 2012 Twitter magic — the goofy memes, the insider riffing, the meeting of new online friends. A place where learnings and conversations were almost better than IRL engagement. With many key functions still in development, Threads even had
Up- and downvoting the same comment of yours at the same time? This is illegal! /s
kbin.social federates with Threads
On Mastodon it is possible, when an instance (like Threads) is limited. Limiting is not outright suspending, and limited instance still federates, but its posts and users are not visible unless you explicitly search for them. Also, no one from a limited instance will follow you unless you approve them as a follower.
Plusy i minusy na Lemmym i /kbinie są dosłownie takie jak na Reddicie i Wykopie. Społeczność Lemmiego musi jakoś rozgłaszać treści, a to podpada pod „podbicie” mastodonowe. „Podbicia magazynowe” /kbin nie zalicza do podbić.

How Google is killing independent sites like ours
And why you shouldn’t trust product reviews from big media publishers ranking at the top of Google.
I tackle the issue of digital content disappearance. Inspired by the concept of a palimpsest, I analyze how digital layers of information are successively replaced and how important contents can vanish from our digital world. The article uncovers the secrets of Google's algorithms, shedding light on...
Threads' roadmap for integrations with the fediverse, aka the network of decentralized apps that includes Twitter/X rival Mastodon and others, has been

I'm using #MXLinux on #LiveUSB and tried to rollback it to previous remaster. However, I had updated the kernel to newer version before.
I'm using #MXLinux on #LiveUSB and tried to rollback it to previous remaster. However, I had updated the kernel to newer version before.
In effect, the OS "didn't finish up booting", or, rather threw (as I saw after Alt-F1) an (uncritical) error about new kernel unavailable and booted up to CLI. To recover from this, I used the same live-kernel-updater, but rolled back the kernel version instead of updating. This recovered the system.
This should be helpful also for #Antix users as both distros share their LiveUSB utilities.
Threads' federation is already using a deny list. And Authorised Fetch.
Soapbox lead developer, Alex Gleason discovered, that at least 5 Fediverse instances are blocked by Threads. These are:
All five instances were not able to fetch posts from Meta's instance, which made Gleason suppose, that ə is using AUTHORIZEDFETCH.
Contrary to admins, who signed FediPact, Gleason is keen on federating with Instagram Threads and made a patch to circumvent signed fetch by using separate domains for request signing.
If you are an admin of an instance, watch out for these spoof domains
