   Okay I finally did a full write up of the event I went to just before Christmas at @meta in San Francisco in which they laid out their plans for integrating Threads with the Fediverse. It's very long and thorough. Love to get people's thoughts. http://plasticbag.org/archives/2024/01/how-threads-will-integrate-with-the-fediverse/

     @tomcoates Great detail, and very solid developer focused observations on the state of play with Threads and Federation. Thanks again, Tom! Hope to see more of your posting here! And do think ME.DM is a good home for it!

     The post is getting referenced on The Verge right now, which is interesting and will probably cost me a fortune in hosting fees. https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24035256/a-peek-at-the-threads-activitypub-roadmap

     @evan aw thanks. We should catch up end of the week or early next for a call and then try to put a larger group together to discuss next steps

     @maegul @notthatkaren @tomcoates bridges will be built, though there are some fundamental differences in the two protocols that may limit the usefulness of the bridges beyond just the sharing of content.

     I still worry about the allergic reaction to algorithms here, and greatly appreciate Bsky's approach towards algorithms.

     @notthatkaren @mmasnick @tomcoates

     My, perhaps uninformed/naive take, is that for those that value decentralisation, the fediverse being "friends" with bluesky/atproto will make more sense over time.

     BlueSky/atproto is closer to a different take on decentralisation than anything else going on at the moment. And the fedi and bsky may be better off "together" than "enemies".

     @maegul @mmasnick @tomcoates Yeah, correct. But I still want to encourage the voices I feel are important. Fruitless it may be, but at least I am trying. Sigh.

     @notthatkaren @mmasnick @tomcoates

     I'm pretty sure they're mostly all in on BlueSky.

     @mmasnick @tomcoates Apropo of absolutely nothing, glad to see you back on the Fediverse. Hope you stick around a bit and the scolds pi$$ off this time around. You are a trusted voice.
