It's wild how social media outside of the fediverse has deteriorated. You have followers, but if your post doesn't please some opaque algorithm, they'll never see what you post. You have to avoid certain words to please the algorithm. If you refresh the page good luck finding the same posts again. And people put up with it.https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/10/16/instagram-limits-political-content-shadowban-election-posts/

@Gargron The "see what you follow" will become more and more important on platforms like Mastodon

@Gargron Federating with Threads was a mistake.

@ChrisWere @Gargron not even sure why we care when it’s only one way? Or did I miss something. Can Instagram or Threads users even see our accounts?

@tramtrist @Gargron When someone from Threads.net try to use their account for an actual conversation, rather than a bullhorn, we'll know.

@ChrisWere @tramtrist @Gargron Everything on social media is a bullhorn, unfortunately. Most people are not interested in conversation online. I'm not even sure most people are wrong on that subject. Face to face conversations are far more rewarding and what you give up by spending time online.

@Gargron The Post pulls an interesting trick to distort poll results. It takes a poll which says "20 percent of U.S. adults now regularly get news on the [Instagram] social network" and recasts it as "One in five American adults regularly get their news from Instagram."Adding the word "their" suggests IG is the primary or exclusive news source for 1 in 5. The poll only says that people "get news" from it. Poll distortion is a favorite journalistic game.

@ChrisWere@toot.wales There's always the option to block/mute the entire domain yourself and/or ask your admin(s) to #defederate from #Threads.@Gargron@mastodon.social

@markuswet @Gargron We can and that's a great option and feature of the Fedi.I just think even giving Threads a sniff of legitimacy is stupid.

@Gargron meanwhile on Mastodon I hear that ..."The moderator of @mastodon.social is hiding and limiting people's accounts for opposing the #genocide in #gaza done by #us and israel.What kind of bad, ignorant person do you have to be to call it a holocaust inversion?"

@Gargron it's a really important concept that isn't talked about enough. I think people have come to expect that they will see everything from their friends ala email/sms but will only see what the corporation decides to show them in media ala social media platforms but also TV etc. #ActivityPub and rss (real podcasts) break that. people might care at the personal level but it matters culturally. #AttentionDemocracy
