Is Facebook still a preinstalled non-removable system app?

Ever since the MS Surface I've been a big proponent of this sort of device convergence. Super excited to see this develop.

At this latitude? At this time of year? May I see it?

It adds searchable metadata to a post. Like if you go in Netflix and search for an actor or browse a genre. So I can follow #rugby without having to follow every single person posting about rugby, and I will see all posts that have that tag. Then I can find individual people within that topic to follow and interact with directly.

If I have a mutual who is on multiple platforms, and I also have accounts on those same multiple platforms, we would generally be following each other mutually on those same platforms.

I can from a number of other Fediverse platforms. I may not be able to follow you on Lemmy like I can follow a community, but I can still find your account to see your posts and comments, and that limitation doesn't really impact me having to have per-instance accounts versus having a fediverse-wide account. I have probably a dozen fediverse accounts across multiple platforms. I want to have my fediverse identity able to access all fediverse platforms and that other people using that platform can find me as.

It’s a terrible idea that they should all try to eventually do all the same everything.

I don't want them all to do the same thing, but I don't want to have to have a separate identity on each one and have to redundantly follow people on the multiple platforms.

If I sign up to Instagram I don’t expect to see facebook posts. Most people understand this concept.

Actually posts on one can be available on the other. And you can see Instagram posts on Threads, too.

Similarly, I can follow Pixelfed users from Mastodon and see their posts, and they can follow me back and see my Mastodon posts with photo attachments.
