Mastodon MigrationJul 15, 2023

#Threads is not federating with #Mastodon. Not anytime soon, maybe not ever.

In case you missed the #Meta inside information from the Verge's Alex Heath: "Re: ActivityPub integration, it's still a priority for Threads but a "long" way out." https://mastodon.social/@alexeheath/110713788758597963

This whole federating with Threads thing has never made any sense and now we see it is very likely they have just been playing us the whole time. Let's stop falling for this nonsense and get back to building great open social media.

@mastodonmigration Of course they're not going to integrate with the Fediverse, why would they, what's the incentive for them?
My assumption is they just used an existing protocol rather than build their own. Like WhatsApp used the Signal protocol but has no interest in inter-working.
Suckerberg's ambition has always been to rule the Internet, so that people view the 'net & Meta services as synonymous.
