@clement @cwebber Still upset that Google abandoned XMPP. The future of chat was supposed to be federated!

Due to the nature of ActivityPub, any monetization would be limited to Threads’ own users plus any public posts from other instances. They can’t (I believe) monetize our viewing habits for example.
This isn’t very different from a search engine indexing a post and showing ads in search results that include your post?
