What is the fediverse and why does Threads want to join?
I assume the next step is to consolidate those different platforms into a single decentralized standard. We could call it... "Usenet".
Quote:Before you can join Threads, a disclaimer pops up: "Future versions of Threads will work within the fediverse, a new type of social media network that allows people to follow and interact with each other on different platforms."
What exactly does that mean?
Imagine posting a tweet on Facebook or liking an Instagram reel on TikTok.
The fediverse — a combination of the words federation and universe — is a loose collective of decentralized servers that operate using open source standards. Unlike traditional social networks, the fediverse allows users to connect and communicate with others seamlessly across multiple platforms.
I assume the next step is to consolidate those different platforms into a single decentralized standard. We could call it... "Usenet".
