#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.

Differing perspective on this: Meta is in a position where they really don't have to care about the fediverse if they desire. They have a chokehold on the social media market. I do not think they would build out infrastructure like this unless it was a long withstanding plan.

Certainly, they have zero interest in poaching people due to mastodon; they have all the people they need from their other applications. This seems like overblowing a standard dev q&a
