   So, it's 4 months away from the end of the year, and it still feels like we're no further along with the promise of Threads fully federating.😒

   They sure do enjoy making themselves seem as sus as possible with this whole situation.

   First, the make it opt-in only, which is not how any other implementation works besides BridgyFed, and it only works that way cause Fedi bullied Ryan into submission with misinformation regarding how Fedi works.

   Nobody who doesn't know what Fedi is, will turn it on and that's why there's so few people federating from those platforms.

   Then, they claimed to "turn replies on" allowing Fediverse people to "reply" to posts from there. Except they failed to mention that replies are private on Threads, you can only mention 1 user or it won't work, and it has to be a reply to a post that already exists on Threads.

   Obviously that's not "replies", that's one way DMs....🤦♂️

   Getting more and more skeptical of Meta every day.

     @BeAware And that’s why the #fedipact exists. People have seen this coming from a mile away.

     @BeAware Well, I also don’t see the point in giving 200m+ people - a big chunk of them just spam bots - blanket access to marginalized communities that are undermined on meta’s platforms, either. Here is a piece by a trans woman (@nileane) on Threads moderation policies: https://www.macstories.net/stories/lgbt-and-marginalized-voices-are-not-welcome-on-threads/

     You’re free to join an instance that welcomes oppressors to be among them, but I don’t wish to do that for myself.
