Last night Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, quitely announced the next step in the integration of Threads into the Fediverse. In addition to being able to follow Threads accounts from Fediverse/Mastodon accounts, we can now reply to and like Threads posts. Threads are taking a quiet, incremental approach to Federation, but seem genuinely commited.

From About Threads and the fediverse

If you turn on sharing to the fediverse, users on other servers can search for and follow your profile, view your posts, interact with your content, and share your content to anyone on or off their server. On Threads, you’ll be able to see the number of users on other servers who liked your post. You'll also be able to see and like their replies to your post.

Please fediblock.

There are 200 mil. Threads users, and 10 mil. in the fediverse. Meta has been unable to meet basic federation assurances, is unable to guarantee moderation, is unable to detect and remove bots reliably, unable to guarantee basic user protections, unable to reliably detect and remove actions like doxxing, harassment, stalking, ban evasion, brigading, etc. etc.

Federating with threads means giving up on these basic protections for users and being overrun with threads users. When there is ONE instance that serves 95% of the users, federation has failed. What happens when Meta engineers start submitting pull requests to the AP protocol? What happens when they fork it to add their own "features?"

Federating with Threads is bad for the present and the future of the fediverse. We need to see more government organizations, universities, and journalists joining and spinning up instances. I want to see @[email protected], @[email protected], and @[email protected]

Well put. Even if we assumed Facebook had the best of intentions - which they damn well don't - it needs to be pointed out that other servers get defederated for far, far, far less than what they allow to happen on their platforms. Their moderation is abhorrent, which makes it outright unsafe to federate with them.

Pray tell, what possible benefit can Lemmy communities gain from Facebook users?

You do realize most people who joined the Fediverse did so because Facebook and the likes are a steaming pile of shit, right?

What possible benefit is there to the pile of shit coming to splatter itself here uninvited?

Since I stopped using mainstream socialmedia I can't follow musicians I'm interested in. Some have a bandcamp page and rss works there, but they just upload their albums there, nothing else. At least I get notified about new releases. I tried to follow facebook and instagram pages via rss-bridge, but it's not working for years now. My selfhosted bibliogram sometimes work, but it's unmaintained so it will die at some point if instagram changes something. (I just found there is a maintained fork, yess) My ip usually gets blocked, so I get all posts once a week only in batch.

So I'm interested, unfortunately none of them enabled fedi integration yet, (afaik it's a settings for them in threads) so I'm waiting when they will enable it for everyone.

I don't want to debate about politics or whatever you are afraid of.

my goal is to provide an offtramp to those stuck in facebook hell. the first step is for new users to be able to access their old friends. i am human-being centric, not knee-jerk meta-hate-centric. you do you.

lemmy desperately needs non-bot content. interaction with threads.net could add real conversations.

im not going to make assumptions on 'most users' for what is expected to be a federated service between millions of people on thousands of instances of dozens of platforms. thats just stupid.

im here to intercommunicate with humans, even if they are on a server run by meta. i dont give a shit about meta, its the people that matter.
