If you are in the DMV area and can participate in a rapid response campaign: people are meeting at the Hart Senate building tomorrow to talk to Senators to vote "no" on the new republican plan to turn DC's municipal government into a federal agency and then cut its budget.
Here's the info.

If you have time on your hands go help.

@jdp23@blahaj.zone @tchambers @mekkaokereke @jdp23@indieweb.social @kikobar @mjf_pro @admin @feditips Ironically #Threads is building a lot of safety tools into their app (basically implementing moderation tools from #Instagram), which is why I have seen many from #BlackTwitter & #BlackInstagram using it (as in a lot!).

I would not be surprised if #Meta made #Fediverse integration an “opt in” feature for Threads.

#Threads already has 2 million signups in the first two hours!

I am seeing many #Africans sign up for Threads as well. I believe #Meta will do what I had hoped #Misskey & #Mastodon would do: bring #BlackTwitter & #BlackInstagram to the #Fediverse.

It will be interesting seeing the #BlackThreads community interact with #BlackMastodon once Threads activates #ActivityPub support.

I am on #Threads app right now.

I can see #BlackTwitter & #BlackInstagram embracing Threads by #Instagram. Functionality is still basic (no text search support & no hashtags support), but I believe they will add more functionality in the future.

@atomicpoet Yeah I agree. I do think they might be more open to using #Calckey as quote posting was something many in #BlackTwitter desired out of #Mastodon.

I believe many from #BlackTwitter who abandoned #Mastodon will probably embrace #Threads by #Instagram (many are already using Instagram like #Twitter for what it is worth).

I will try to reintroduce them to the #Fediverse, but this time promote #Misskey & #Calckey as viable options.

I believe the window of opportunity for this will be short, as I assume (I have not evidence for this, so be skeptical) Threads will launch managed hosting options within months of entering the Fediverse.

@jrm4 I am seeing many from #BlackTwitter using #Instagram now, the latter which has drastically improved their search.

Instagram just opened up #MetaVerified to the #UnitedStates & it seems much more reasonable than #Twitter’s pay-for-checkmark approach (the price for both is very high though).

@christianholt @tapbots @ivory I agree!

Oh! Ok, it's not an official #Mastodon feature (at least not yet), but #Ivory supports quote posting (it shows up that way in the app). Sweeeettttt!!!!!!!!!!

I can easily see #BlackMastodon / #BlackTwitter using this app. Well, at least on #iPhone & #iPad (I do not think they support #Android).

@trevorflowers Tumblr will be embracing #ActivityPub next year, as well as open sourcing the code so people can run it upon their own servers. They will become a serious competitor to many app within the #Fediverse based upon their features alone.

I can easily see #BlackTwitter / #BlackMastodon using the service as it supports “quote” posting as well.
