Threads has entered the fediverse - Engineering at Meta

I must admit I never thought this would actually happen, #Threads federating with the Fediverse, but it did, woah. Pretty huge moment for #ActivityPub. Now lets hope #Meta plays it nice with interop, well as nice as any of the other bickering and sometimes somewhat poorly interopping #Fediverse platforms are doing :P

While I totally expect half of the Fedi to go on an instance blocking spree, personally I'm happy for this development. And hey, even if half of the Fedi does go on an instance blocking spree, that is fine. It's all a part of the freedom provided by a decentralized federated network.

It's a huge pity #Bluesky settled on building their own platform. We could be a very big nice happy family had they chosen to adopt ActivityPub during the evaluations they did.

I just hope resharing Zuck's first Fedi post wont demolish my poor #Socialhome instance 😅
