#Threads is testing federation for a few selected profiles. I'm now following @mosseri! It's one-way for now, but it's exciting. It's a step towards the interoperable social web that we've been advocating for ๐Ÿ™‚
@Gargron @mosseri What do you know about plans to make it bidirectional?
@lancehomer @Gargron @mosseri Mosseri mentioned they are doing this as a first step. I think they need to tune some stuff because their user amount is bonkers
@oliver @lancehomer I admit I'm a little suspicious that they started with this rather than the other way around. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing a lot of can-kicking before making Mastodon visible via Threads.
@oliver I can see this post direct on Threads from an EU country, yuppieeeeeeee ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
@arnie_dxer @oliver You could see threads post the whole time from within the EU. You just had to know their handles and then you could read the posts of every threads user and the comments. But you couldnโ€™t interact with the content.
@oliver @lancehomer Maybe, some day, be sure. LOL.
