I want to know how fedi sharing got turned on for the @potus#threads account. Basically, how is this outreach happening? In what circles are people being convinced that the decentralization of social media matters? Cause this is either a huge moment or more just nice/lucky. #SocialWeb

I assumed it would be a newspaper or news network that would be the first notable non-tech Threads account to share to the Fediverse — some business that publishes frequently and makes its money from pulling in eyeballs.
I guess I still expected that sort of organisation to start sharing the next notable accounts from Threads to the Fediverse. It will happen faster now though, since Potus has displayed a mark of confidence.
@wjmaggos I checked whether a few Twitter accounts I follow (yes, I still go there) also have accounts on Threads, and if so then I sent them messages in Twitter asking them to turn on sharing to the Fediverse. I mean, if you have a Threads account and you want to be widely read, why wouldn't you do so?
