Meta's social microblogging platform has enabled a new, fundamentally important feature: the ability to look up and follow profiles from the network.

Meta’s microblogging platform and X rival, Threads, has taken another step closer to two-way connectivity to the Fediverse.

    You can now follow fediverse accounts on Threads, but the accounts aren’t searchable and their posts won’t show in feeds

    My guess is that Threads implementation and Meta capital is necessary if ActivityPub and fediverse is to ever go mainstream. Mastodon just sucks too much and Threads might introduce some healthy competition that will make Mastodon survive long term.

    I have no ideological problem with this. I believe that for-profit and non-profit complement each other. I’m a Social Democrat after all.

    And I’m really annoyed by Mastodon instances that block Threads content. That’s just so extremely stupid from a fediverse strategy and a content quality perspective.
