@kersploosh For everyone who is on #Friendica or other Fediverse platforms that support #calendar event subscription I created this event:

libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1…

If you cannot access your link, just paste it in your search bar, and it should find it (I made sure it is a public event).

Let me know if you have issues.

Will Threads last? I don’t know. It is an app stuffed with verified users I’ve never heard of who have 7 million YouTube subscribers. They all do Epic Pranks and they spread Positive Vibes and they Don’t Talk Politics Here.

As no one can delete their Threads accounts without deleting their Instagram accounts, I’m sure it will last. Users will likely get bored and leave, but Zuck will likely show the advertisers „hey, there are millions of users already here and no one is leaving. Here’s how many you can reach!”.

Kind of how @mastodonusercount displays accounts over on Mastodon, but you don’t know how active are them or if they are still using the said accounts.

On one hand, this could actually be great, as it would allow me to follow actual Instagram accounts without maintaining a presence on Instagram. Or imagine just giving anyone your Mastodon/whatever Fediverse platform. Meta-owned platforms are really so large that it is really impossible to quit them without losing access to lots of people.

On the other hand…
