"Threads is deepening its ties to the fediverse, also known as the open social web, which powers services like X alternative Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Flipboard and other apps. On Wednesday, Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse. The latter had previously been announced via an in-app message informing users that API posts would be shared to the fediverse starting on August 28."
THE ENSHITIFICATION OF EVERYTHING MUST NOT INCLUDE THE FEDIVERSE PLEASE
thank you for coming to my Ted talk
200 million users apparently, though I think that everyone with an Instagram account was auto-added (or something like that)
I hear yoy but I have literally never heard anyone mention threads since it launched. I mean no one. No one I know personally and no one on any media.
I guess the people we associate with aren't the kind to be interested, and even if they are there's apparently nothing worth saying about it
Fuck the Zucc
This won't affect the Fedipact instances like dbzer0, right?
The largest social media operator in the world had to adopt open source concepts and ActivityPub in order to compete. I see this as a huge win.
