I’ve been commenting on (fediverse twitter equivalent) mastodon posts on kbin, with my kbin account, because mastodon is also federated with kbin.
Sure, the fediverse is fragmented, but it’s also far more connected.
TIL there’s someone working on federating wordpress with mastodon. That means we’ll soon be able to ‘boost’(retweet) a wordpress article on The Rules of Acquisition on mastodon with a kbin account and have lemmy users comment on it with a Quark gif they found on pixelfed(instagram equivalent) or a video from peertube (youtube equivalent).
Honestly, it feels a bit like we’ve been robbed all these years, commenting on screenshots of tweets you can’t easily copy paste or snapchat videos that barely load in the janky reddit videoplayer. That and switching between 5 different messenger apps, because these greedy cunts refuse to allow you to send a message from insta to whatsapp, because it might mean you spend 5 seconds less looking at ragebait content surrounded by ads.
Totally agree, especially with your last paragraph. It feels like we’re going back to when the internet was full of possibilities and felt open. I’m excited about that!
