i know the fediverse has been pretty split and a lot of big instances (mainly microblogging and mastodon-like softwares, but some lemmy instances are defederating meta too) but what do you think?

    No need. If I wanted corpo social media, I’d be on reddit/twitter instead of lemmy/mastodon

    A shit product name using a generic commonly used term.

    I already fell into misinterpreting a post title about it. So unnecessary.

    I’ve taken a look around and it’s pretty early so not a lot of uptake. It will live or die by how many people actively use it. The built in follower base with instagram is pretty enticing. I was surprised to see a reference to the fediverse right up front. Might just be pandering, but we will see!

        Yeah, I was wondering if you could set it to just broadcast, letting people know the Fediverse is your new home now. Throw them a lifeline.

          this is my plan as soon as meta federates tbh

          im willing to stick it out with their shitty app until they federate if it means i could bring over a few extra friends to the free persons side (​:

            I appreciate your missionary zeal. I can’t yet get up the energy to look at it - there’s so much more interesting stuff over on this side of the fence.

    Not needed. We have mastodon. It has it’s quirks but in the long run is much better than twitter

    I think that if Apple let me install it in a walled off sandbox, away from everything else on my phone, I might give it a try, but as it is, it’s not going on my phone.

    I think they’ll do quite well perfect landing spot for Twitter refugees not willing/techie enough to take the leap to Mastodon. Yknow the normals. Particularly if it’s well-integrated with Instagram.

    Is that a good thing? Ie do I want to see Twitter fail more than I want Meta to not be successful…? That’s a fucking tricky one!
