Can we host it ourselves a la Mastodon / Lemmy / Fediverse stuff?

What part of this is self-hosted?

Embrace, extend, extinguish. They’ll play nice with the Fediverse for a while. Maybe years. But then they’ll introduce a new feature to the Fediverse as a “good will gesture”. Then they’ll make features available to only people federated with Threads. Then they’ll make features only people on Threads can see. And so on and so forth. We SHOULD care where the content comes from. Platforms that are neutral should be where our content comes from.

You should. If they’ll literally stop talking to you over an app choice how good of friends are they?

Been listening for nearly a decade. They’re amazingly consistent!

This is fantastic. I have but one request: Allow us to block any word / string we want :)

I am so glad F-Droid exists. For the apps I need that aren’t there (Steam and Blizzard authenticator for 2FA) Aurora has been a godsend
