Walking around the island this evening, I ran into Shino by the beach. She is such a social media queen and is so right. If she looks too good...she may become too powerful.
I mean, she is so powerful in her cuteness already!

I love sharing some of these funny conversations with villagers. Also, she is wearing a Wario outfit...which rules.
Have you had a funny encounter recently with your villagers?

Is it just me or have #Instagram comments become much more hostile lately? Their sorting algorithm now seems to favor controversial comments with few likes but lots of replies. Feels a lot like Twitter now. And yes, I know I shouldn't read the comments. It's quite telling, though, that a lot of content creators now feel the need to address this kind of controversy in their stories or posts. Something really seems to have changed recently.

Zuckerberg's Instagram helps connect and promote a vast network openly devoted to the commission and purchase of underage-sex content.
A WSJ investigation found certain emojis function as a kind of code, such as an image of a map — shorthand for "minor-attracted person" — or one of "cheese pizza," which shares its initials with "child pornography."

I'm still looking for a way to import my #Instagram history to the Fediverse.
Preferably into #Pixelfed, but just about any other service will do at the moment.
At my disposal:
- IG exports in JSON and HTML format
- access to selfhosted instances of Pixelfed, #Mastodon, #Friendica, #Calckey
I would prefer to have all imported posts date/time stamped correctly, but if that's a deal breaker, then a simple line of "Original post date: xxxx" would be ok.
Since this is a one-time operation, I would not mind going all command line magic, but my knowledge there is somewhat limited.
Thanks in advance for any hints.

Leistungsschutzrecht: Meta testet Sperre von Presse-Nachrichten in Kanada

What a time to be (digitally) alive. First was the exodus from #twitter to #mastodon. Now it looks like an exodus from #reddit is coming, but where to this time? Greed will always collect a lot, but never anything that really matters.
On a side note, I can't wait for the exodus when people realized that @pixelfed is second only to #instagram in data misuse.
@tchambers As far as why defederated #Mastodon variants may embrace the #Fediverse, it will be because of two predictable events:
👉🏾 #Instagram’s InstaPost (P92) entering the Fediverse
👉🏾 #WordPress making #ActivityPub either a core feature or heavily promoting the ActivityPub plugin.
Both would massively expand the Fediverse & allow the sites to embrace the Fediverse as a whole again.
I heard rumours that the #Instagram team is working on something with #ActivityPub support intended for text-based updates to followers. This would mean ~1 Billion active monthly users would come out of nowhere onto the #Fediverse.
What do all of you think about this? Would you want your instance to block this, or would you do so yourself?

If I used #Facebook (or #Instagram ) which I never would it would never occur to me to use them for #news but only be tempted to use for #organizations that have no other #web presence but I just give them a pass because #Facebook is so evil.
#Instagram used to just be a place I'd post photos and use filters which would make them look quite cool.
Then it sort of became a place to flex and show off, although that didn't really affect me.
Although more recently there seems to be a lot more hostility in comments from private accounts and I was wondering why...
I think it might be because people can link their Facebook account and are bringing the cultural hostility from #Facebook.

As AI goes mainstream and "AI photographers" dominate my feed it becomes evident how weak online communities are. What felt like a certain tribe is just a fragile web hold together by trends and an algorithm. Twitter showed how quickly this can break, and it feels a bit like that on photography Instagram right now. Photographers made the app big, but there is nothing that protects existing communities from a wave of fake "content".

So I made an #instagram account because people use it for chat and I have 100 other chat programs, why not? Then they deleted my account, never telling me why. So I made another one. Now they suspended that. When I go to appeal on their support website the appeals web form says 'Go to Instagram and confirm it's you before requesting a review.'
... I can't access the account to confirm anything.
I can't even back up my contacts.

When you talk about #Instagram here on Mastodon (or anywhere in the fediverse) have you actually spent much time on Instagram? Because #Pixelfed is only like Instagram in the most basic sense. Instagram is mostly populated with people selling products, services or themselves. Instagram is like a tame version of #TikTok. If federated platforms begin to look like these places I personally will drop them.
Baffled by how little interaction my Instagram posts are getting nowadays, especially since I'm posting from a big Europe trip. I assume it's the algorithm not showing my posts to anyone. I used to get at least 10 to 15 likes on everything, now I'm struggling to get up to 5.
Should I give up? I really loathe Instagram's timeline nowadays, full of video and ads and general rubbish.
Point blank, a mass Fediblock isn't going to work with #Meta.
The cold truth is that people will use #Barcelona whether it federates or not. Even if it fails, Barcelona will probably have more users out of the gate than almost every project save Mastodon. Hell, it will probably eclipse #Bluesky too.
And even if you convince every server to defederate -- which you won't -- this will not be a PR coup for the Fediverse. Newspaper headlines won't blare "Fediverse successfully resists Meta." Instead, they will probably follow @gruber@mastodon.social take with "Open source zealots complain that an open protocol is open."
Again, as I've said countless times, I'm not saying you should federate with Barcelona or any Meta-owned property. If you want, defederate. The joy of the Fediverse is freedom of association.
But a mass Fediblock doesn't solve a few important problems with Meta, and perhaps makes them worse.
The most critical problem is that Meta users need to migrate away from Meta-owned social networks. Until now, a migration path has simply been unfeasible to most. But when Barcelona gets launched, it is possible that many of them will become aware of a greater Fediverse.
How to build that awareness? By interacting with them through services beyond Barcelona.
This approach works. I've interacted with many Mastodon users through services beyond Mastodon, and this has resulted in adoption of other Fediverse software. #Calckey is a case in point.
However, there's a bigger problem concerning Meta: Fediverse replacements for Meta-owned social networks aren't getting mass adoption. And it's not because these apps aren't good.
#Pixelfed is an #Instagram replacement. It is also one of the slickest apps on the Fediverse. Yet, Pixelfed only has 150,000 registered accounts.
#Friendica is a #Facebook replacement. It's been around since 2010. It is a mature product that does many things very well, but Friendica only has 17,000 registered accounts.
The software is great but we are failing to effectively market the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. Now I'm trying my darnedest to change this, and so are many people. But facts are facts. Fediverse alternatives to Meta are a blip on the radar.
Refusing to federate with Barcelona won't change this. How do I know?
Because we don't federate now, and the status quo remains intact.
Meanwhile, Meta is practically gifting Pixelfed and Friendica an opportunity for federation, and it would be foolish to not consider broader implications.
How is it that more people aren't considering this opportunity?
Dare I say that most people -- including devs -- suffer from myopia concerning what the Fediverse is. The Fediverse is not Mastodon, and it is wrong to view the Fediverse solely through the eyes of Mastodon.
And I'll go further: by focusing Barcelona on text, I suspect that Meta is likewise making the same mistake of viewing the Fediverse as a "Twitter killer".
What they may not be considering is that the Fediverse might be a "Meta killer" too. And connecting Barcelona to the Fediverse is opening a can of worms Meta hasn't entirely considered yet.
If Barcelona is indeed text-based, what will happen when a Barcelona user encounters Pixelfed and asks, "Why does this post show reels? And why can't I do the same?"
Believe me, this is the kind of content that triggers migration.
We need to think bigger than Fediblock. Yes, for your own mental health and safety, you may not want to federate with Barcelona. However, there needs to also be a means for Barcelona users to encounter content outside Barcelona.
Perhaps there needs to be "lobby" servers that help Barcelona users enter the greater Fediverse -- helping them make the switch beyond Meta.
#Twitter とか #Instagram がいろんなマーケティングの舞台になって、そこでどれくらい閲覧された！Like 数！フォロワー数！みたいになっていくのは、実は自分はそんなに嫌いじゃないというか、そういう場所があってもいいよねとは思ってて、一時期のテレビとかしか情報の発信ができなかった時代に比べれば、いい時代になったなーと思ってるし、インフルエンサーって言われるような人も（もちろん人によるけど）基本的には「その地位を得るために努力と工夫をして、それに相当する価値を持ってる人」だと自分は思ってるし、場所として #Twitter とか #Instagram とか #YouTube に価値があるのもわかるし、持続するにはそれぞれマネタイズが必要なのもわかる。
じゃあなんで自分はなんで「SNS マーケティング」とか聞くと一瞬「ウッ」てなるんだろう。

is anyone on my corner of the fediverse a fan of or themselves a #contentCreator (#youtube #twitch #tiktok #instagram #peertube #pixelfed etc-anything, really)? if so, please connect with me!
i know it's gauche to ask for boosts on the fediverse, and normally I never do. but every time I search for #contentcreator on my own instance I get NOTHING, and I don't want to have to make a half dozen accounts on other instances to find other creators either. if I could just establish a network of fellow #creators (preferably #videoCreators, but #artists, #writers, #photographers etc are fine also) here on my home account, that would be wonderful.
maybe I could even find some creators to say hello to at #anaheim #vidcon in three weeks 😁
I just went back on IG because my publisher told me so, and literally every second post I see is an advertisement or a "recommended for you" thing. Is this normal? I am not used to this anymore.

BlueSky & the AT Protocol are missing the moment

The continued growth & adoption, capitalized by Meta & Instagram's soon to roll-out service supporting #ActivityPub, is further proof
Meta is planning to implement ActivityPub? Not so fast IMHO.

#Facebook / #Instagram planning to leech off of #Mastodon. Notice how, “Users on [Mastodon] will be able [to] search for, follow and interact with your profile and content” but no mention of following Mastodon accounts, a la “The plan as of now is that the MVP (minimum viable product) will definitely allow our users to broadcast posts to people on other servers. It may or may not enable our users to follow and view the content of people on other servers.”

New project by Meta: A Twitter-like service based on the Instagram infrastructure. It may come out in late June 2023.
One detail is interesting: You’ll be able to follow accounts from Mastodon. That’s a clever way of increasing the reach of the service. I’m not sure in what other way it’s going to be “decentralized”—given that it’s completely owned and managed by Meta.

Der bald kommende #Twitter-ähnliche Service von #Instagram soll kompatibel mit dem Fediversum und mit Bluesky sein, hört man. Gute Sache, das! Dieses Dings könnte im besten Fall der Durchbruch werden, für freies und unabhängiges Geposte — und das Ende der Elon-Vorherrschaft in der Microblogging-Sphäre. Bin jetzt schon gespannt auf die Culture-Clashs zwischen Parfüm-Influencer*innen und Fundamental-Mastononisten! Diversity rocks! :-)
So I'm trying something on my #instagram account for a bit of fun, and thought I'd try it here on #Mastodon as well.
I'm setting myself a 30 day challenge to put an image of something, anything, up every day. Goodness only knows what will end up in the sequence.
Anyway, hope people find it a bit of fun, as is intended! ?

Literally the first time in weeks(?) that I want to see something on #Instagram, and it happens to be down.
The opinion is divided. There is no consensus. #Meta #Facebook #Instagram #Fediverse #SocialMedia
If Facebook and Instagram were to join the Fediverse and you could follow users from that world from your instance, would you do it?
Boosts appreciated. I'd like to know the current consensus of the Fediverse.
#Facebook fears the #Fediverse. Here’s how #Instagram will try to conquer it (EEE!!!): https://darnell.day/facebook-fears-the-fediverse
Too long; Did not read:
👉🏾 Instagram will embrace #Mastodon, #Misskey, #Pixelfed, via their new platform (which I call #InstaPost). Millions of will join
👉🏾 InstaPost will extend it’s reach by allowing third party hosting companies to host the platform, evading blocks by Admins
👉🏾 InstaPost managed hosting will offer premium features at cheap prices, extinguishing rivals
I'm sure you can see now why I am less than thrilled about the enthusiasm with which people are looking at #Facebook “joining” the #Fediverse with their #ActivityPub-compatible #Twitter clone, despite there being literally NO INDICATIONS that their attitude today is any different from the one at the time of #XMPP —and if anything, the opposite, as we've seen with #Instagram blocking the #joinPixelfed tag.

So let me wrap my head around this regarding #ActivityPub...
- #Tumblr (572M blogs) wants to integrate it
- #Instagram (2B users) wants to start an app that supports it
- #Mozilla starts its own #Mastodon instance
- #Medium started its own Mastodon instance
- #WordPress now has an official ActivityPub plugin
- #Flickr (60M users) is considering using the protocol
🤯
Am I missing something or does it look like the #Fediverse might actually win the "social media wars" in the end? 🤔
It's amazing how a single man and the ruin of #Twitter can bring other companies to try their chance in microblogging. First years of nothing and then #Spoutible, #Bluesky and now #Instagram/#Meta...
The Verge: This is Instagram’s new Twitter competitor https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/19/23730070/instagram-twitter-app-competitor-leak
Whilst I am worried they will try the old “embrace, extend, extinguish” plan, I must admit I’m quite excited for #Meta to join their apps into the #Fediverse.
An extra 2bn people to talk to on here! And the ones who really enjoy it will find out they can switch to #mastodon or #calckey or one of the others for a similar experience but with no ads and better moderation. Nice!
