   @carnage4life I am deeply skeptical that "federation" means the same thing to Threads as it does in the fediverse.

   Would Threads legitimately allow users to move their entire Threads profile to another server? Does that sound like something Meta would *ever* do?

   There are other logistical issues with federation (e.g., moderation for 100 million users) that I don't think Meta has any interest in actually solving.

   Federation really isn't the thing you do last. It's a core feature.

     It’s now quite possible and highly likely that Threads will be 100x the size of the Fediverse, specifically Mastodon usage within the next few weeks or months at most.

     I’m fascinated to see how interoperability will impact Mastodon’s culture because I’m reminded of how the internet changed forever when AOL brought regular people online when it had previously been techies and academics.
