   This doesn’t sound good; making ActivityPub integration opt-in (or opt-out wholesale) just means nobody is going to opt in, and there will be no easy way to ask or convince accounts to do so. You will lose a lot of the value of interop immediately, and if somebody has a bad interaction with a Mastodon user they might cut off access entirely with a toggle switch. Block people, block instances, but no master switch or all this is for nothing @mosseri

     One aspect we can see from the current Threads integration is if a Threads user @-mentions a non-federated Threads user in their post, that post will not be federated to ActivityPub. So if users aren’t opted-in by default, we're going to see a patchwork of missing posts and broken reply-threads rendering the whole thing pointless / @mosseri

     EDIT: looks like that may be fixed, now? Threads posts with mentions are now retroactively showing up /cc @jessel
