I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.
Just one is on #Sharkey (👋🏻 @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?
@mho Since when is Threads part of the Fediverse?

More than one year now.

@mho So it’s possible for Thread users to follow people in the Fediverse now? And they actual moderate their servers, respect data privacy and copyrights?

No, it isn’t. But that doesn’t make something part of the #Fediverse, does it? Try following someone with a Peertube-account for example. I dind’t find a way, yet it’s still a part of the #Fediverse…
I’d say: Fediverse = “connected via ActivityPub”
@mho Disagree.
Because it does. And I am already following people on PeerTube, works just fine!
I’ve to say, reducing the Fediverse, its development, its history and many supporting different software and diverse communities to a protocol, is, to be frank, just ignorant for an editor of an on tech focused online magazine. You should know better in 2025.

And if it’s not “just” about the protocol: Who gets to decide about the definition? The people on #Mastodon? The ones on #Misskey? Or Lemmy? And why not the ones on #Threads, which could be soon the biggest part of it (the protocol, I mean)?
