Meta wants to make Threads posts available on services that use ActivityPub, a social networking protocol. Here's how the testing is coming along.
I agree with both of those, the prior more than the latter.
There is a huge amount of value IMO though to normies being available on Threads for me though because I can finally interface with them in a neutral way on my own terms, while still coming in contact with them.
Their problems usually range to why I don't have an instagram, and how come they can't interact with me. I LOVE FOSS. But I am able to see that there are some trade offs and this is about as close as I'll come to seeing these two worlds bridging.
Must be instance blocked. If Mastodon does not comply, just move to a different instance that does.
