honestly feel like the instances that are blocking @threads.net before it was even released are missing the point of activitypub and federation completely and are becoming the same type of closed systems that they left before coming to mastodon.
personally i love seeing how excited the threads devs are about activitypub. watching them demo fediverse sharing was super awesome - i hope more socials embrace it. i’d love to see bsky be able to share with activitypub and at proto soon too.
The problem with federating with Threads is that then anyone who wants to join the Fediverse will just join Threads (especially the people already using Instagram or Facebook), leaving the success or failure of the Fediverse in the hands of a company whose interest is to attract as many people as possible to its platform, not contribute as an even partner in a federation.
I don’t agree at all. It’s like tolerating intolerance. Meta is dogshit, with.a differt purpose to ActivityPub, i.e to exploit people for financial gain, why you’d want to be part of that toxicity voluntarily is a mystery.
While I am excited at this integration I hope the people at threads would shift to mastodon instead of the opposite if threads ever try to do an EEE move.
More like when than if. They’re already blocking pixelfed. So when is um now
They’re blocking Pixelfed? In what way?
Blocking Pixelfed from federating with Threads?
Preventing people from mentioning Pixelfed?
The latter
Where are you seeing that? I’ve mentioned my Pixelfed server a few times on Threads and I’ve never been censored.
It was a bug they fixed.
