6·2 months agoThe readme describes it better:
Bot-centered Fediverse app. Users post ONLY through bots. On sign-up, every user chooses a bot (or Sidekick) and can then customize user experience and execute commands with it by posting to the bot. The post prompt is made customizable and elevated in this sense (fedi-app with custom-prompts).
Any proof that it’s real? Commits can be dated however you want, and archive.org doesn’t have any snapshots from before today
Yeah, I’ve heard a very similar joke from a boomer:
Did you know PMS is mentioned in the Bible?
“…and Mary rode Joseph’s ass all the way to Bethlehem.”
I think this comment was meant for another thread?
If it’s unclear, it’s referencing an infamous Far Side cartoon called Cow Tools. Here’s some background:
It even has its own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_tools
I won’t use threads, but the Fediverse is relatively small. It would suck if they managed to play dirty tricks and steal a large fraction of current fediverse users.
There’s a lot of shitty things they can do. They could push for changes to ActivityPub that nobody sane wants, confusing everybody that says “We support ActivityPub”, and spread FUD about anyone that doesn’t move to their new shitty version. Similar to how Google pushes through changes to web standards that benefit them, forcing Firefox to implement them too.
Nope, those are all not clickable. Probably requires logging in or something. Does not inspire confidence in them being a long-term team player, but we’ll see what happens I guess 🤷
Interesting. Can’t tell if that worked because it wants me to log in. Wonder why they don’t just allow appending the instance at the end like the rest of the fediverse does. Does that post show the username as plain text for you as well? It’s still showing that way for me.
The advantage of the Fediverse is exactly that, that each instance can decide if they federate or not. The thing that I’m wary of is a renewal of Embrace, extend, and extinguish. I’d like to think that Zuckerberg isn’t going to try playing dirty tricks, but we’ll see what happens if and when Threads ever becomes really successful.
I don’t see how anything has changed. I don’t use threads, but this URL doesn’t work:
https://www.threads.net/@[email protected]
And the post from the article just shows his account as plain text:
She got accosted by an abstract minimalist artist, happens to the best of us
Like that bit in Parks & Rec where people are scared of flouride in the drinking water, so they rebrand it as H₂Flow and everyone loves it.
There’s truth to that quote of “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it”
1·3 months agoYeah, good point. For anyone wondering, it’s unlikely to happen again though, because due to competitive pressures any new proto-life would just be called “food”.
This feels like something from [email protected]
EDIT: And now it’s over there 😄
Thanks for posting the original! I’ve been liking Loops so far, but it would be nice if there were some feature for tracking the source of reposts.
Hmm, looks like they’ve closed sign ups again. There was an outage in their hosting provider yesterday and the creator of Loops says there will be a big update this weekend:

Maybe check back later this weekend/next week? I’m guessing they don’t have a notification system set up since the closed signups seem temporary
The cool kids are forcing people to read this at gunpoint nowadays
