Social magazine app Flipboard had already committed to joining the “fediverse” – the decentralized social web, which includes apps like Mastodon. Now, it’s doubling down on those ambitions with an announcement that it will stop tweeting while also launching a new podcast devoted to exploring the topic of decentralized social media.
I’m happy to hear this but honestly I’m confused as to how flipboard is supposed to work with federated media. I thought it was basically an RSS aggregator? Could someone explain
To my understanding, the app is not federated in any way. This is just for their social media brand accounts.
