It’s still not clear how connected Threads will be to the Fediverse. I just don’t buy that Facebook will show their users content they can’t moderate and control unless they start defederating with everything.

yeah I’m not holding my breath haha I was not expecting it to be on ActivityPub so was surprised to read that rumor, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if they are very restricted or defederate basically everyone else
Apparently it won’t be federating with other ActivityPub instances right away, but planned for shortly post-launch
I went to go see if there was any new info and just saw that as well, kind of encouraging to see it confirmed they will work with mastodon though
