Just because we partner with the Torment Nexus doesn’t mean we’re not working to create alternatives to the Torment Nexus.

@aral

why don't people understand that working with likes of #meta #facebook #threads is only you lose, they win, in every scenario

why don't people understand that?

is it a concern for money?

is it a concern for clout?

what?

you can never make a deal with the devil where you come out on top

never

@benroyce @aral The Fediverse is designed to be a decentralized replacement for Twitter. It lacks many of the features of Facebook, such as events and invitations thereto.

@andytiedye @benroyce I fail to see how that follows from the point being made here but both of those things can be readily implemented as part of ActivityPub or, at worst, extensions to it or in a federated protocol in general (in fact, it already does: Mobilezon is a federated events app with invitations: joinmobilizon.org/en/)

joinmobilizon.org#JoinMobilizon - Let’s take back control of our eventsA user-friendly, emancipatory and ethical tool for gathering, organising, and mobilizing.

@aral @benroyce I know events are being worked on by at least a couple of different groups. When these features are generally available on the Fediverse, it will be easier to get people to migrate.

I get that these things take time.
