I'm sure everyone is tired of discussing Threads and Meta (I know I am), but I just want to say I find any predictions of what Meta is going to do in the future that don't include discussion of the effects of the EU's Digital Markets Act unpersuasive. All of these companies are under intense scrutiny now, and not just by the EU, so I think that a prediction of what they're going to do based on the crap they got away with 10-15 years ago is not the slam dunk folks think it is.

  @helge Oh, got it. I don't know, but considering they announced starting to test it the same day they announced they were making Threads available in the EU, and given the EU's Digital Markets Act, my suspicion is it’s the easiest way for them to satisfy the regulatory requirement of being interoperable.

  @dgoldsmith Why do you think they even plan to do federation?

  @helge Because they're already testing it. See this thread from the head of Instagram. Which I read via federation from Threads: https://www.threads.net/@mosseri/post/C046L7jvHBf. Or go to @mosseri and read his posts that way.

    We are working to make this option available to all public accounts on Threads, not just a handful of testers. We're starting small to make sure we have time to work through all the challenges, as our systems historically have been not been designed with this use case in mind.

  @dgoldsmith My question wasn't why you think _whether_ they are doing it, but _why_.
