There were a lot of people on Mastodon doubting federation would happen (despite a lot of incentives for Meta to federate), but this is a very definitive statement.

  Now is probably a good time to mention you can follow me @mergesort@threads.net. If Meta acts in ways that make me uncomfortable I’ll probably end up moving to my own ActivityPub server, but I’ll say that I’ve genuinely been enjoying Threads and the community there. I have been posting both here and there because I don’t want to lose touch with the people here I like, but unfortunately as I wrote about at length, I’ve never truly felt comfortable calling Mastodon my online home. 😔 https://fabisevi.ch/2023/07/17/displaced-and-disillusioned-on-the-internet/

    Displaced And Disillusioned On The Internet
    
    Sometimes I think about all of the societal issues I cared about 10 years ago: privacy, government overreach, and platform accountability. More and more as I look at the technological landscape it feels like none of that care seems to have mattered. When I worked on the Societal Health team at Twitter I had a voice and direct impact on these matters. If the feedback I received and still hear from my peers and higher ups holds true, that voice was not only well-received but considered thoughtful and led to meaningful change. With hindsight I can't say that every choice we made was right, there are few easy answers and no correct answers, but we made the best decisions we could with the information we knew at the time. These days I build indie apps like Short Circuit and Plinky for many reasons, it's what I think will make me truly happiest right now, but one of my reasons is to carry less emotional weight on my shoulders. I still have my morals, but without having the position I once had it’s harder than ever to translate my values into change. The self-induced immolation of Twitter has caused a schism with the community I formed, cultivated, and connected with on the platform. People I follow, people I learn from, and many people I’d call my friends have all scattered to the four winds across a myriad of text-based social networks. I’ve spent the last week thinking about whether to join the latest Twitter-esque social network Threads, where many people close to me have made their way.

  @mergesort Unfortunately, only a few Threads accounts will have ActivityPub enabled for the months to come, so this will need to wait :(

  @mergesort @nebula Correct. And for now you will not be able to interact with them, this will come in a second step. And having Threads users being able to follow Fediverse users will be another step (I dont know about timeframes or the order/detail of those steps)

  @nebula @renchap That's why they said it was a test. They're opening up a few accounts to federate today, not as an act of hostility, but to make sure that when they create they add 100 million users to the fediverse all hell doesn't break loose.
