I signed the pledge to not ever federate with them, and unlike the DARE pledges they made us sign in school, I’m taking this one seriously.
DARE to do drugs
DARE to keep threads defed’d
Do All Recreational Enhancers!
Dope Amphetamines Roofies Extacy
The advantage of the Fediverse is exactly that, that each instance can decide if they federate or not. The thing that I’m wary of is a renewal of Embrace, extend, and extinguish. I’d like to think that Zuckerberg isn’t going to try playing dirty tricks, but we’ll see what happens if and when Threads ever becomes really successful.
EEE would require existing Mastodon users moving to threads which I can’t see happening

It would not.
Meta could implement ActivityPub in Facebook, and there’s your majority population. Imagine a Facebook user “friending” your mastodon account. You follow them back because it’s your mom, and so does basically everyone. Next, Facebook implements Pages to round off the concept of “communities.” Then, Facebook introduces a genuinely useful extension - marketplace. Once a decent clip of people set up shop, trim off any instances that don’t adopt the FriendlyPub fork.
Bam, EEE.
There’s a lot of shitty things they can do. They could push for changes to ActivityPub that nobody sane wants, confusing everybody that says “We support ActivityPub”, and spread FUD about anyone that doesn’t move to their new shitty version. Similar to how Google pushes through changes to web standards that benefit them, forcing Firefox to implement them too.
Threads uses can now “follow” fediverse accounts but “only if they’ve interacted with a post on Threads” and the posts “wont appear in your feeds.”
Well played, Zuck. Hilarious.
You think this is the last step?
Perhaps there will be an infinite number of steps, each of them getting smaller and smaller as the result asymptotically approaches whatever barely-functional sham version of federation is deemed most profitable for Meta Platforms Inc.
BlueSky seems like an obviously better fit. The more corporate interests are protected on amd by Lemmy the less interesting it is…
…and plaves like c/News are already there to mostly protect and defend corporate interests.
What do you mean by ‘amd’? I’ve heard it s couple times but searching just gives the [email protected] sub and a few misc posts about AMD on lemmy
I don’t see how anything has changed. I don’t use threads, but this URL doesn’t work:
https://www.threads.net/@[email protected]
And the post from the article just shows his account as plain text:
Because their link is different, it’s https://www.threads.net/fediverse_profile/[email protected]
Interesting. Can’t tell if that worked because it wants me to log in. Wonder why they don’t just allow appending the instance at the end like the rest of the fediverse does. Does that post show the username as plain text for you as well? It’s still showing that way for me.
It’s clickable for me, however on some accounts mentions render as plain text, idk why, is this one clickable for you?
Nope, those are all not clickable. Probably requires logging in or something. Does not inspire confidence in them being a long-term team player, but we’ll see what happens I guess 🤷
Here’s a mastodon account, seen through Threads: https://www.threads.net/fediverse_profile/[email protected]
Thanks
True, you’re right, we’ll see, they still say that the “Fediverse sharing” is in beta so things can change
Instagram has long maintained a login wall, so I’m not surprised to see one on Threads. That means they hate the open web, not necessarily federation.
I do assume bad faith when it comes to Meta, and I suspect their middling, slow implementation of ActivityPub here is mostly intended to discourage antitrust actions against them.
Not sure if it would be different with an account.
hey look, threads can do something Lemmy can’t! shame it’s the only good thing they can do
