1. Meta embraces ActivityPub, federates with mastodon.social, uses Fediverse servers as a "look at all the people you can talk to on day one!"

2. People on Fediverse start following/mingling with Threads accounts, thereby tightly integrating the network effect between the two

3. People decide that if they can get access to the Fediverse through Threads instead of Mastodon, which is for "dumb nerds", they'll go with Threads

4. "Threads will be ending support for ActivityPub on September 1st, 2026 - click here to import your Mastodon account"

5. Fediverse users leave en masse so they can keep talking to their friends on Threads

6. Blog post Eugen: "I didn't want to believe they would go this far"

@AmyZenunim
Not very optimistic about the success of federation tbh

Meta folks adding fediverse friends to their network is something i am sceptical.
After all a whole bunch of people found it “hard” to join fediverse because they found all this server concept too confusing

Now to add threads friend they can do $friend and for fediverse they have to do [email protected]? Too confusing for a whole lot of people
