#Barcelona, #Meta's Twitter competitor, will be ready by summer.And lest you believe #ActivityPub integration was just some rumour, think again. In a slide, Meta confirms that Barcelona will indeed be decentralized and will be compatible with Mastodon. Everyone who thought that AT protocol would easily win over ActivityPub, and that #Bluesky would kill Mastodon just because a few influencers joined doesn't understand the sheer marketing power and pull that Meta has at its disposal.But believe me, I'm not exactly cheering on Meta here. Generally, where Meta goes, shenanigans happen. I simply don't think Meta is capable of releasing a product without dark patterns.Nevertheless, I don't think the Fediverse is even close to preparing for what will happen once Barcelona starts federating.We should all be taking Barcelona very seriously.https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/19/23730070/instagram-twitter-app-competitor-leak@socialmedianews@venera.social

Here's a very blurry screenshot of what #Barcelona looks like. This looks very much like text-based version of Instagram.

The best way to describe #Barcelona is that it's "#Mastodon if it was #Instagram".

I knew a lot of people who dismissed ActivityPub as "built by amateurs who just wanted to futz with their hobby social networks".That dismissal was a mistake.There's a real war happening between ActivityPub and AT protocol.

@atomicpoet @socialmedianews We should never forget how Google Talk killed Jabber/XMPP.

@atomicpoet @socialmedianews That creates a lot of questions for me, given that I don't like Meta in general - never had a FB or IG account. Once they start I will check how to stay secure of them - if necessary block each and every account from there or even put an lock on mine here.

@SusanneAmman @atomicpoet @socialmedianews It is not necessary to do block each account of Meta ir tu put the lock on your acvount. You can just block their domain.

@atomicpoet @socialmedianews My initial reaction was, given than Insta is mostly adverts and influencers, “That’ll be an instant domain block.” But some of my children and neices use it and it would be good to follow them without having to endure the things that inspired me to delete my Insta account.This might require a bit more nuance to respond to. Although any involvement of the dead hand of Meta is a concern.

@pkboi @atomicpoet @socialmedianews I would love to be able to block a domain, but still follow an account or two from the blocked domain.

@quigs> I would love to be able to block a domain, but still follow an account or two from the blocked domainAdmins can kind of do this at the instance-level, by using Limit ("silence") on a domain, rather than defederating. Would be good if this could be done by user accounts too.@pkboi @atomicpoet @socialmedianews

@atomicpoet> Barcelona, Meta's Twitter competitor, will be ready by summerThat's a good reason to have the proposed fediverse conference later this year, rather than early next year. There's a poll on this here, closing in 2 days:https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/110386945066796936@socialmedianews @tsadilas @helge @django @mike @barbarakb @hryggrbyr @Volpit @supernovae @vyr @pre @pfefferle @hugo @Em0nM4stodon @pkboi @quigs @resuna @strong_sue @ArrestJK @freakazoid @petrescatraian @eris @snott @SusanneAmman

@strypey That's great. Sadly I cannot attend from Friendica as polls from Mastodon do not federate (I can only see the results of it). But shoutout to the poll!

@atomicpoet> There's a real war happening between ActivityPub and AT protocolWhat I see is a multi-faction conflict, in which both AP and AT are high ground some factions wants to control. The conflict is between each of the corporate DataFarms (ie legacy social media) and each of the major factions in the fediverse, in the wider sense of the term (protocol-agnostic, pro-decentralization). Mastodon Inc, for example, is a fediverse faction, but has different interests from the rest of us.

@atomicpoet This pol.is WikiSurvey run by the decentsocial.net folks reveals three broad opinion groups on the fediverse side:https://pol.is/5iw6kcubty
