The future of decentralized social media

While it is unclear whether Meta's new Twitter clone, Threads, will provide a viable alternative to X, it undoubtedly has the potential to make significant waves in the realm of social media. While massive changes aren't slated to come immediately to the app, Threads is likely to join the ever-growing list of apps on the Fediverse. This will allow Threads users to interact with others outside of the Threads platform, so long as the platform they are using is also part of the Fediverse.

Very good summary. A couple important tidbits in there I had not heard about the state of adoption. Thanks.

[@scriptles]

Let's go web 3, it's time we upgrade from the over censorship of web 2.0. I think that we will need to have viable alternatives to twitter, facebook, youtube, instagram, tiktok, paypal, cashapp, reddit, just to name a few. Once people have made all of those, and people start switching. I think the future is going to be amazing.

Deso

The idea of the fediverse is interesting. I was thinking about whether a similar idea could be applied to a company. A federated company so to speak like where a company has an office on each continent and is independently managed the way a particular region feels like. Take Reddit for example, each continent would have their own "federated" version of Reddit that's tailored to that specific region and company in that location while still being connected to those other Reddit server instances.
I think this idea would become even more critical once we become a multiplanetary species in the sense that having a federated company will make more sense than one that's centralized in a single location.
Just a thought I had..

Love the fediverse freedom from other social media

[@TackerTacker]

💙 Mastodon 💙

[@JODmonn]

[@mitchellquartero]

Same here and the fediverse

[@floridaman7]

Engadget, please tone down the vocal fry.

[@laughfactorytv]

Why reporter explains with such funny and fake voice?

[@serialtoon]

What is up with the vocal fry on the host?

[@wakeuprepriseinthesunshine9294]

Hah I just commented on this.

[@PhilipMurphyExtra]

Good information on this video

[@Houndzee]

Is this Pied Piper? Did you take this from an episode of Silicon Valley?

[@Continentalmunkey88]

Might talk to social media via Psychological associations but not the state institutions for the criminally insane

[@teakaymania]

Lol, how do I YOLO into the DeSo token?

[@zaphenath6756]

good video but PLEASE learn about vocal fry and why people hate it so much. it's SO unpleasant to listen to and SO easily removed from your speaking style!

[@majidaldo]

I automatically dislike vocal Fry

[@user-um7tw6kx4r6]

You can't even speak English properly

[@Alexanderthetitan]

Fediverse 😂😂😂😂

[@Isaac-zy5do]

❤firefish❤

[@AdrianAzian]

These arent truly decentralized. Deso is a true decentralized social plaform harnessing web3 and blockchain

[@Damon-bx5qv]

How isn’t Nostr truly decentralised ?

[@AdrianAzian]

Because they're most likely hosted on centralized servers

[@OffiGameWave]

I‘m more than against this decentralized garbage… they say you can interact with other servers but it still feels like you are cut off from everyone else. And why the hell donI have to choose one server? If I choose a gaming one I mostly get gaming stuff but I want to see way more than just that -.- social media should be one place where you can interact and see everything and not just be a dumb facebook group

[@Damon-bx5qv]

You already have what you’re looking for in Facebook, Reddit, Instagram and X. Those all describe what you just described

[@OffiGameWave]

@@Damon-bx5qv besides that facebook is for old people, reddit for egoistic assholes who think they are the coolest people alive, instagram is just a boring as hell photo website and twitter is toxic paradise.

[@kristinashepherd3003]

Can’t complete this video because it’s beyond irritating

[@Dotcomnieuwscom]

threads is dying

[@mikesmithson6805]

I don't like the voice of the host, sorry

[@wreck2881]

No offense but take a cough drop before the next one.

[@strangetoucan]

How rude. Why do you write no offence and then write something offensive.

[@vanzzini]

Great Information, insufrible voice .

[@wakeuprepriseinthesunshine9294]

Cut the vocal fry nonsense. Just speak properly.

[@neriofrio]

Meh

[@markwilliams813]

Nobody cares 😒
