Alright you dogs, you barked loud and clear. Facebook's Threads is blocked
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
Except they already publicly announced that Threads is going to support ActivityPub and federate with the larger fediverse.
Not in the way you think, I believe. It's not like they used Mastodon as a basis - they can't, at least not without also making their own software open source, which is never gonna happen. No, the software they're using is proprietary and built by them. What they are "reusing" is the ActivityPub protocol, but it's not like that was a cost-saving measure. Without the goal to federate, it would make no sense at all to use ActivityPub.
