I don't necessarily want more people, just the people I have interest in following. Most of those people didn't stick around here for more than a couple weeks after the Twitter takeover though.

Looks like I just got one too, might try moving my ohai.social profile to it, though I don't use it much anymore now that microblog support improved on kbin

My OnePlus 7 Pro! I used it for 3 years and I wouldn't have changed phones if the battery was still able to get through the day. I got a Galaxy Fold 4 after it because wanted something without a hole punch camera, but it's been nothing but trouble. It's been mailed out for repair under warranty again for the second time in the year I've had it now, so I'm back to the 7 Pro, and it still holds up! I have Lineage OS on it now though because the last security patch OnePlus officially released is now over a year old.

Even then though, people only use it to describe this part of the fediverse, which Threads won't be a part of.

I think FediDB coined the term. It definitely existed before Threads had an official name though.

That's what I figured, but every article I've seen on this calls out Linux specifically. I'll have to give it a try from my Surface Pro X when I get home and test.

I've been under the impression people started using the term threadiverse to describe the Lemmy/Kbin side of the fediverse because we exist in Reddit style threads and interaction with microblog style fediverse posts is obtuse at best. We're practically in a separate bubble over here, and that was the cause of the new term.

Edit: The first time I saw the term used was when FediDB made a page for tracking Lemmy+Kbin users

Edit 2: Archive.org link to the Threadiverse page from June 15th, half a month before the Threads name leaked.

I might be looking at this wrong, so please let me know why if I am, but I don't understand the argument that Google killed XMPP. The protocol existed before Google and still existed after Google. I assume the number of people using the XMPP protocol before Google implemented it was small. Then for a little while, Google added all of their users into the network who could now message all the "pure" XMPP users who were already there. After that though, when Google left the protocol and took all its users that weren't using XMPP before then anyway, how did that kill it? Would you not still have the same group of XMPP users who were there before Google? Anyone you could chat with before you could still chat with now.

I'm looking forward to federation. My stance on it is that I don't want to use Threads, but I want to follow and interact with the people who do. Best of both worlds like this.

Does this apply to Windows on ARM as well, or is it just Linux specifically for some reason?

Murena uses /e/OS, which is still Android though.

Why not Android?
