We're making progress integrating Threads into the fediverse and launching a beta in a few countries that lets people choose to federate their posts. If you see this and turn it on from your profile, you'll see likes from federated platforms appear on your posts here.
@david1 no. Only "likes" will federate for now. It's a slow rollout. Eventually they will be able to see our replies, but according to Meta, that'll be one of the last things. Everything that benefits them will come first (Us seeing their posts, being able to follow and reply but not the other way around yet)
I didn't think they'd actually get this far so maybe they'll get to full federation this year like they promise. I definitely don't understand the business case besides stealing from X and personally for Zuck, fucking with Elon.
@Maeve@zuck@akrennmair@darwinwoodka
What are you calling gross? It could have plenty of benefits for the fediverse as a whole. The main reason why I think this is because it could increase the number of people getting exposed to fediverse content and increase the popularity of the fediverse entirely. This would make it a better option as a social media platform. The thing is is that the fediverse is going against social media giants.
@TwodpadsDown@Maeve@darwinwoodka exactly this. Threads adopting and integrating ActivityPub to connect to the wider Fediverse is just an indicator it has "won" as a protocol. I get to interact with friends on Threads w/o having to create a separate account there, and everyone on the Fediverse who hates Meta and Threads and wants nothing to do with them is still free to block the whole domain, or move to an instance that blocks it on a global level.
@Maeve see my other reply. Just use the tools available to you. Parts of the Fediverse will certainly treat threads.net as a toxic dumpster fire and block the whole instance, and that's fine. That's the great thing about the Fediverse, that it has the tools available for this kind of self-regulation.
@TwodpadsDown yes, and FB is a dumpster fire. A huge reddit exodus had hoped to find a more pleasant experience than Reddit; and Reddit was infinitely less toxic than FB. Yes I get blocking, but that isn't the point. @zuck doesn't have to poison every well with toxicity he pretends doesn't exist, "they trust me for some reason, dumb f . ' But poison every well he will bc 'greed is good,' and who cares what lives are sacrificed for it.
@Maeve no, blocking is exactly the point: you can choose to completely keep away any perceived toxicity not just on an individual (account) level, but on an instance level. That is a different level of resilience against toxicity compared to entirely centralized systems.
Will you see my reply to your #Threads post, cloned over here onto #Mastodon to make it look like Threads is "federated" -- back over on your original post on Threads?
Betting not
All your #Meta "federation" hype is just bullshit PR
That screenshot applies only to people on Threads, with accounts on Threads
It has nothing to do with anyone on #Mastodon or anywhere else on the #Fediverse
Do you understand how any of this works?
Then, I've been replying continually to Mosseri's cloned #Threads posts over here on #Mastodon since mid-December, so I'm well-aware of exactly how all this works -- in reality
Or doesn't work
In a few weeks (or less the way things are going) it'll be time to #DomainBlock#ThreadsdotNet and clear my timeline of all this noise
UPDATE:
See pinned post; Domain Block for @Threads.net and word filter for Threads
If you have questions about how it all works then https://joinfediverse.wiki is not a bad place to start. But otherwise just look around, relax, and maybe follow a few people to get a feel for the place before you go spending billions of dollars reinventing anything. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it with a little practice.
