I think if we are going to support the idea of an open web, we need to be consistent about it. Federation should be possible with threads and blusky. One of the main advantages of federation is that it is interoperable.

But we have to be careful. When you have an agent as powerful as Facebook/Meta at the table, it only takes a few missteps for the fediverse to crumble. I don't think Mark Zuckerberg has had a sudden change of heart, the success of the fediverse is not his goal.

There need to be clear requirements for a platform to be allowed to federate. Basic rules like not manipulating engagement metrics and respecting the protocol. But we need to think as a community about where we draw the line.

Personally, I think user mentions from thread users opening the threads application is a huge violation. This behavior is not expected, and is only meant to suck people into their ecosystem. It shouldn't be accepted.

It'll be a long road fam, but I think it's worth it for a better Web.

I'm always impressed how far corporations managed to convince people to be loyal to them. Not saying it's a person's fault, I used to fall pretty badly for corporate bullshit myself.

The whole "walled garden" concept is inherently anti-consumer. Have you ever asked yourself why there hasn't been any real innovation in the phone/smartwatch fields for years now. Or why phones aren't cheap to fix anymore. Or why battery life gets so bad after two or so years that most people are forced to buy a new one.

Things don't have to be this way. We can have well designed products that work together without all the lock in.

Thanks for sharing, but they seem like the last people one should ask about the evaluation....

Not federated but I can really recommend trying out hardcover.app/

They're not federated but have very good import/export tools if you want to take your data somewhere else.

Finally! Always glad to see the EU forcing Tech Giants to be user friendly

Was looking for that! Yeah, tree style tabs just makes researching so much easier. It also just feels good closing a parent tab after falling very deep in a rabbit hole.

Link for firefox if anybody is asking what we are talking about: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/

The german lemmy community seems quite active from what I can tell. Can't say anything about the EU community as a whole, just created my account 5 minutes ago and I'm still exploring what there is to see.
