In-car screen showing media playing. The background image and album name is from a pop album "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" but the track name is the Sean Carroll's "Mindscape" podcast. The app is mixing elements from the last music played and the podcast currently playing

Yes in hindsight it makes sense. It's meant to work this way. But my brain still expects to see posts like it's a single platform. I could be wrong but it also seems Threads only allows posts to be seen elsewhere but not to show posts from elsewhere within Threads. Like I followed my Threads profile as a test and that isn't reflected in Threads. Unless there's a truly huge delay I guess

@drj Yeah this makes sense. When I think about ActivityPub and how it works, it's expected, but as a human user I just expected to see someone's posts as my brain is still acting like it's on a single platform

@carbontwelve Yeah makes perfect sense. Gotta remember ActivityPub is like a *stream*

One thing that makes sense in hindsight but was unexpected was not being able to see any posts made by the Threads profile that were made before I followed. Which means if you take a look at a profile to see if you want to follow, you can only judge from the bio and not the actual content (without going to Threads). I guess it should be possible so I wonder if it's a Threads, Mastodon, or ActivityPub thing...

So interesting seeing that profile show up in my search. Or clicking the handle and seeing the bio natively within the mastodon web UI

I'm going to test out Threads just to see what it's like and because I have some friends there who would never touch mastodon

My most normie friends wouldn't use Threads. My mostly normie friends would use it. My nerdiest friends would more likely be here

I'm not considering it as a replacement for this. Nerdy or technical stuff will definitely be here but might post more chill life stuff here: @geneticjennifer

Feel free to follow but mostly recommend for friends obvs

This is one where switching to Pixelfed or something similar wouldn't actually help because 99% of the reason I'm on there is for my Insta-only friends and 1% is because I have pics I want to post

I quite Facebook almost a year ago (no regrets) and I'm being reminded of how I was only using it for Groups because people refused to use anything else. That said, I do find Insta less problematic than FB for me personally in terms of addiction and being overwhelming. But I'll never trust Meta services so I've always got one foot out the door

Last year I was decentralising hard. This year I've mostly been off social media generally. Literally touching grass (getting back into sports, hiking etc). Instagram has been the one thing I've been relatively active on because it's what literally everyone in my local community uses including sports teams I'm on

I wonder if Meta would extend their activity pub integration to things like Instagram. Or maybe that's redundant? I haven't actually used Threads so I'm not sure if it automatically posts insta posts on there

I've been really diving into UFOlogy recently given all the news coverage and increased interest generally in the public. The more closely I look, and the more I only pay attention to the most credible sources, the more convinced I am that there's nothing to it

Just paying attention superficially? Some obvious garbage and some creepy, interesting stuff too

But only considering the best evidence and looking very closely? It all falls apart. There's nothing convincing
