   Meta just said they’re starting to test federation on Threads. This is a win for the movement to re-open the social web, where even the most powerful social platform knows that the threat of regulation and the ascendancy of open innovation mean that they have to go with the momentum that’s pushing for open standards.

     @engarneering @dalias it’s good if the normal/casual users who are on threads can get introduced to the open internet, actually

     @dalias @anildash good luck with that. "These people we know are coming here with open hand and crossed fingers that theyll behave until they can betray safely from the shadows." Is a naieve look. Just defederate and move on.

     @anildash Yes, but we need to be vigilant and not let them get away with anything. They have a vision (they even had a conference on this, https://kolektiva.social/@ophiocephalic/111444291212912829) for reshaping the fedi under their governance and surveillance, which we need to forcibly reject and instead make them engage on our terms.
