Probably the worst article about the #fediverse and #Threads I have ever read comes from @euronews:
It claims that Europeans could not fully access the fediverse because #Meta rolled out Threads federation more slowly there.
Borderline misinformation.
What is the 'fediverse' and why is Europe partly excluded from it?
Thread users everywhere except the EU will now see their posts deeper in the so-called "fediverse". We take a look at this new more privacy-focused way of being on social media.

The protocol, standardised by the World Wide Web consortium, lets its users send messages, operate control rooms, and sync messages.
Operate control rooms? I don't recall seeing this in the specifications. -

I guess this kind of text happens when your vision of the world and technology you see is shaped from within the cage of locked-in platforms."The EU actually had a presence in the fediverse, until recently" - seems like the author could at least have checked on their story a bit more and find @EUCommission here.

@ilumium @[email protected] there are so many factual errors in this article that I rage closed the tab and gave up on it. It’s BONKERS that this journalist wrote this:
« But what is the fediverse? Short for "federated universe," it’s a group of "interconnected but still independent social media servers," according to Meta. »
“According to META” made me physically shiver and drove up my blood pressure.
@[email protected] DO YOU EVEN HAVE EDITORS OR FACT CHECKERS IN YOUR NEWSROOM?
