The gup.pe groups are not Mastodon groups, but Activitypub groups that the immer.space project has created according to the standards To allow Mastodon users to easily create groups to use, which can be done by Friendica users and those of all link aggregator or forumverse platforms (from Lotide to NodeBB). Lemmy also supports them, although he does so in an unsatisfactory way.

the fact that it is in the roadmap is important, but it means that it is not there. Moreover, although piefed is a well-optimized platform, bringing the following of users will certainly entail a burden for the servers that host it And we will have to understand how much it is worth: one of the nice things about reddit like software is that you cannot follow other users 🤣

I don’t think Piefed supports microblogging

Aside from the fact that it’s not true: politicians as such should not be put in a position to deanonymize anything, except through the intervention of the judiciary. Furthermore, this is not the case either: Andrea Stoppa is Elon Musk’s Italian lobbyist and has already distinguished himself a couple of times for having threatened Italian politics if it does not enter into agreements with Starlink

Stroppa claims that he can read direct messages as a shareholder. If this is true, it is not only true for Italy but for the entire world

Of course, yes. Friendica Groups are special accounts (just like Lemmy communities, which are also activitypub groups) and, like all Friendica accounts, they can also be managed in a delegated manner by another profile of the same instance.

Friendica groups are very powerful tools, but always remember that Friendica Groups have a social interface that is less intuitive than that of Lemmy communities, which instead have the simplicity of forums

I agree.

Of course, today Friendica is the most suitable software for managing local communities, thanks to the support of Activitypub groups and event calendars, in addition to the possibility of managing accounts shared between multiple users.

However, it must be recognized that it is a cumbersome and counterintuitive interface. If you want to create a project of this kind based on Friends, you must plan for continuous support from the administrators.

At the moment I would not exclude Friendica, but I would also evaluate other solutions:

Lemmy

It is not a social network and users cannot follow other users but can only follow communities. However, it is probably the easiest software in the Fediverse and is made specifically for creating communities.

Mbin

The interface is still dramatically confusing, but users can also follow other users. If it were possible to modify the interface and make it more pleasant, it could be a great option.

I agree that it is an exceptional software, perhaps the best of the Fediverse, but it has a terrible name. The reason for this name was to mark a continuity with the first potentially federated social network, namely “identi.ca”

Moreover, despite the name, it is not a really friendly software, but presents several ergonomic complexities. Finally, I add that when I pronounce it with my dictation system, it is always transliterated as “free handicap”, which is a very inclusive thing, but every time I have to correct it… 🤣

This is also why I decided to call my instance with a different name such as Poliverso, Too bad that a few months later Zuckerberg decided to launch his failed Metaverso project, which is why every time I have to explain that I did not call it that to parody the Metaverso 🤬

😈

It is a framework, but also a software already working and usable to create a social and some document sharing modules. And in the future it should also have something more like Kanban boards or a sort of marketplace

Thanks for the mention. This is a very interesting and informative page for all users of the fediverse

God likes voluntary suffering

👍🏼

You’re right, sorry 🤦‍♂️ 🙇‍♂️ : the federated instance was threads.ruin.io, not threads.net

Um… that’s not what it looks like from the relevant page: https://sh.itjust.works/instances

Now I understand: I thought that federating Threads was a deliberate choice, but it was probably an incidental phenomenon simply due to the large numbers managed by your instance.

Probably one of the ten Instagram executives who have a federated profile has tried to search for one of your contents. Or he found the message of a followed user who participated in one of your threads in his Timeline. Or they are simply experimenting with your instance…😁

Of course you are right (sorry, but in my message I wrote federata instead of defederate)

I understand your choices well. We have made an internal evaluation on the opportunity to federate Threads with our instances: with the mastodon poliversity.it instance we decided to silence Threads; with the Friendica poliverso.org instance we used the newly introduced functionality to obfuscate all the personal data of our users towards Threads; with the Lemmy feddit.it instance, however, we decided to leave the federation to try to allow Italian Threads users (feddit.it is an Italian-speaking instance) to use activitypub groups and discover the “free Fediverse”

Yes, but I can’t “find” Threads content from Lemmy.world

In reality, any user can force federation by simply searching for the handle of a user or content of the fedeverse from the search box of their instance. This method always works unless the instance has been previously defederated.

The problem is that from feddit.it I can’t “find” the contents of Threads (and not even from lemmy.world), even when they are those of the ten Instagram executives visible from mastodon.social and from any other instance that has not defederated Threads

I’ll also try to mention admins @jelloeater85@lemmy.world @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world @Rooki@lemmy.world and @kersploosh@lemmy.world

I will take a bigger look at it now

Very good. I’m glad I was able to spark your curiosity! 😅 Sometimes, good ideas can hide even behind the worst interfaces and the most obsolete technologies… 😁
