#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 Speaking as someone who is losing interest in Mastodon due to getting very little engagement here, I'll get glad to replace Elon Musk's Twitter with anything that provides the same level of engagement. Even if it's from Mark Zuckerberg.

@KansasGrant @mastodonmigration Hmm, that's odd but interesting. I've heard a few artists (including you) that haven't gotten very good engagement here ​ You don't seem to be one of those "got to fedi, followed 3 people, complains about not seeing anything good" people that I see so often, either.

For me, it's been a breath of fresh air. I've gotten 10x the engagement that I ever had on FB or Insta, and the engagement I do get feels really genuine ​ I genuinely hope things change for the better for you here because I think the fedi has a lot to give us artists
