A few weeks ago, I read that Threads will not only not federate, also make it able to import users from Mastodon and other platforms based on Activity Pub. But it won’t be possible the other way. So basically taking without giving. Not sure if that is still a thing, got it somewhere in Mastodon… So if anyone have a source for that, please reply with a link.
It seems like they reached out to the largest Mastodon instance admins and got a cold reception, so they didn’t bother to incorporate activity pub into the initial release. Now that they have more registered accounts in 24 hours than all of Mastodon instances combined, I don’t think they’ll care.
