I will say the PWA scene for the fediverse has been pretty good, and until some dedicated apps showed up, I was just using those on my phone and iPad.

I also have a tab group on my ipad that has all my fediverse sites open in it, and that’s a pretty good way to check everything.

Yeah, lots:

Chrome Edge Firefox Safari

(/s I’m just bein’ silly)

I have no idea. That’s just an example.

Yeah totally.

I had the thought that since Threads “doesn’t want politics” on their platform, and Twitter is trash, maaaaybe activity pub could be a thing.

But you are right: they won’t do anything if it won’t make money.

This is great.

I really wish more news sites set up their own instances. At the start I realize they wouldn’t be getting as many eyeballs, but it seems to make a lot of sense to have a @news@cnn.social or something. Then Wolf could have @Wolf.Blitzer@cnn.social.

Instant “verification” that way, too.

But we’ll see.

For what it’s worth, Eugen, the fellow behind mastodon doesn’t think this is a XMPP situation:
