     It's always a pleasure to see a popular Threads account with fediverse-sharing enabled. Despite such a vast difference in the platforms, we can achieve a human connection. But fediverse integration in Threads is still in a sorry state over a year since launch. They need to be able to follow us back. They need to see when we mention them. Those are such basic things.

     @Gargron I agree, whole heartedly. Yes, platforms are different but we should be able to cross "pollinate" easily

     @Gargron Somehow, I am a concerned Meta is up to no good. Let's hope I am wrong. I am more optimistic with BlueSky. Is so nice there!

     @Gargron They will! @threads will enable two-way communication either this month, next month, or in December before Christmas 🎄!

     @mosseri & @zuck are probably working on scalability & moderation issues before they enable two-way communication.

     @Sir_Osis_of_Liver Well, you could say "If I wanted to be on beige.party, I'd have a beige.party account", and yet here we are talking to each other while using completely separate platforms. That's the principle of the fediverse and I don't see why it shouldn't apply to Threads. I want to talk to people regardless of which platform they choose.

     @Gargron

     If I wanted to be on Threads, I'd have a Threads account.

     As far as I'm concerned they can fuck all the way off.

     I moved to an instance that blocks Threads so I don't have to interact with them.

     @Gargron @mosseri @zuck I remember #Meta employees talking about this on #Threads.

     However, @verge published a timeline of when @threads would integrate with the #Fediverse & integration with #Mastodon was late 2024.

     👉🏾 A peek at the Threads / #ActivityPub roadmap. https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24035256/a-peek-at-the-threads-activitypub-roadmap

     Also @j12t can confirm this roadmap too: https://reb00ted.org/tech/20231208-meta-threads-data-dialogue/

     @Gargron They still can't see when we mention them? So all the federated threads accounts I've been requesting to ask their friends to federate can't even see my request? Great.

     @Sir_Osis_of_Liver Do you refuse to accept text messages or phone calls from friends unless they're on the same phone network as you? Do you refuse to send e-mails to your friends unless they self-host their e-mail? It should not matter what provider you use. People should be able to connect. That's the principle of the fediverse.

     If you can't see the difference between a massive, industry dominating conglomerate with a history of devastating what it considers to be competitors, and an instance run as a hobby, then I can't help you.

     Frankly, I can't believe anyone could be that naive.

     @Gargron agree, but i'm surprised we can follow _anyone_ there. didn't expect that fediverse integration would even go live. hope in a year or two it will work better ;)

     @Gargron @Sir_Osis_of_Liver Id say Telecom is a great example. In north UK, a city called Hull has had an independent telecom since forever - Kcom. Hull has NEVER had British Telecom networks or even public phone boxes (theyre white, not red). Even now, it is still independent. Yet, it is seamlessly connected to BT and beyond into global telecom. Other cities/areas could have done this in the past in UK but they chose not to.

     @renchap @troed @GossiTheDog @Gargron

     yep as Renaud mentioned, we made a promise to users that:
     - they had five minutes to change their mind and not publish to the fediverse, via deleting their post
     - no Fediverse server was capable of *not* respecting their edits, since we simply didn't federate posts until editing was done

     Switching to instant publishing + edit syncs is a very different mental mode of how it works, and we'd need to disclose that (to both users and regulators)

     @renchap

     "We'll delay posting to Fediverse until our 15 minute edit window has expired" is what had me conclude they're not acting in good faith.

     Unfortunately.

     @Gargron we launched our public beta on March 21st, 30 weeks ago -- not over a year :)

     Since then we have:
     - expanded to 100+ countries
     - gone from outbound publishing + likes to having fediverse replies, media ingestion, integrity screening, profile display
     - implemented transparent blocklists with appeal forms

     And most important of all... haven't ruined the fediverse! Before we launched that was everyone's top worry, and I'd rather be slow and cautious (with our size) vs brazen and careless

     @pcottle Hi Peter, I appreciate every step towards interoperability, but I’m counting from the day Threads launched publicly, since it was supposed to be a federated platform from the beginning. I’d much rather you be able to send me your response to my post directly from your Threads account instead 🙂

     @troed @renchap @GossiTheDog @Gargron I'd just ask for understanding that sometimes an incremental approach is easier to work through at a large company with regulatory oversight versus doing everything at once.

     Being able to go to market with our MVP and not having to worry about:
     - edits being respected by a wide variety of disparate fediverse software
     - users not having a chance to abort a fediverse publish

     Helped significantly :)

     Why the whole mess of not doing it the correct way to begin with?

     Not treating the Fediverse as equal citizens when it comes to real time information is sus.
