What is the status of #threads federation? Can they see our posts/responses yet ? any predictable roadmap ?

@dansup Hello ! The app is not recognising metapixl.com as a valid server although it is version 0.11.13

A new question on #Threads federation...

As the current state is #Threads "pushing" some content to the #fediverse, it means that it should accept incoming reports for abuse from #fediverse servers, even if the accounts have been selected among #Threads employees.

Does anyone know if #Threads has implemented the features to receive and acknowledge abuse reports through federation?
If that is not the case, any status on when it will be implemented before full fledged outgoing federation?

@Gargron Actually Firefox does not allow for PWA (which Mastodon implements), and that is still genuinely a plus on chrome/chromium's side.

"Twitter" and "Tweet" was actually a great brand to communicate about, because in many languages it sounds nice.
X is difficult to manipulate... some don't even dare say it because of the sexual connotation of course.
"Threads" is going to be really funny in France... I am looking forward to people on TV/Radio mentioning that name from "sreeds" to "tredz"...
"Mastodon" is fun :) And to be honest it is difficult to talk in public about the "fediverse" no une understands. Might need another word?

@renchap En fait, l'identité IG crée une audience immédiate puisqu'ils peuvent être identifiés tout de suite parmi leurs abonnés sur ce réseau-là, donc une partie de la migration est déjà faite pour eux (mais du coup une dépendance encore plus forte à une seule entreprise).

Donc il semblerait @qofficiel (l'émission Quotidien sur TMC) quitte bientôt Twitter, mais apparemment pour rejoindre #Threads. Yann Barthès évoquait jeudi.

Je pense que beaucoup de médias vont suivre un chemin similaire sans trop se poser de questions quant aux débats qui ont lieu sur #fedivers.

Interesting #Threads experience: you validate your account and pop you already have 10 followers... because Meta allows to follow #ghostAccounts on Threads as well !

@renchap the usual stuff one gets through the API (version, number of users, number of posts, etc...) ?

Is the Threads.net server publishing actual statistics in line with the ActivityPub protocol ?

Elon #Musk menacerait de supprimer #Twitter en #Europe

"Twitter, bientôt inaccessible au sein de l’Union européenne ? La presse américaine rapporte une réflexion d’Elon Musk, qui songe à quitter le Vieux Continent. Un marché qui serait jugé à la fois trop peu stratégique et source de trop d’ennuis."

@atomicpoet @fediversenews This is not a bug, it makes it much easier to follow a specific account, and it does show on the page that it is on venera.social
