I don’t understand how ActivityPub works that well and I haven’t used Threads so maybe I just doing get it.
But why would we have to worry about defederating Threads when it’s a Twitter clone? It doesn’t have communities and such so I would think it’s not compatible. We’re not federated with Mastodon instances right? This seems like something for Mastodon to worry about. How is a Lemmy instance refusing to federate with Threads relevant?
Could be that Threads will use ActivityPub to feverste with other Meta platforms in the future too, assuming they want to add such capabilities to Instagram and Facebook.
It could be, but they specifically used the word “fediverse” in their marketing. It doesn’t make it sound like they want to create a new thing, that would sound like they want to integrate with the existing fediverse.
