     …working on ways to bring all the federated conversation together and make it so everybody can talk to everybody everywhere. It’s gonna take a minute but it’s gonna be SO cool "
     
     And Nilay is right: "Pretty sure we are the first big media brand to federate content directly. Small test with big ambitions to come!"

     @carloshr @tchambers Many fedi servers also block threads.net due to Facebook's historically poor moderation

     @tchambers is it fully federated with activitypub? In mastodon I just see threads version, but threads has only partial activitypub compatibility.

     @carloshr I'd suggest this is an early test using threads account to federate rather than posting directly to a server based account: but for this moment the Verge doesnt have a verge mastodon server. I know nothing but what you all see too: but I'd bet you see that when this moves to next steps.

     @chad006 To me only the threads one does, (as it should) others go to fediverse or bluesky... Just rechecked.

     @tchambers letting you know that from mastodon all those links open on Threads not in indie web.
