It seems like it’s going to eventually have activitypub / mastodon support? I’m hoping I can just follow everyone from Threads in my existing mastodon app. (Or from the webui of the instance I use)

Lots of instances are anti-meta integration. But imo the protocol is open specifically for this kinda thing. I don’t have to use Facebook’s garbage, but I can still get content from people who do.



It will only have activitypub/mastodon till it is the number 1 player...

At that point, suddenly the activitypub feeds will start mysteriously getting unreliable/ratelimited and eventually support will be dropped and it'll be back to a silo.

You only build the walls high after you have captured everyone...


It literally is nr 1 after 5 hrs. Interoperability is needed if Meta wants run Threads in EU. ActivityPub is W3C protocole.


> Interoperability

I think privacy is bigger issue here.

If you believe that, I'd like to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. It will eventually have activitypub too!
