There are so many accounts by the #news media on #Threads, that could but do not yet federate. Doesn't make much sense to ask here for them to do that, so I posted something over there.

If you have an account and want more of the media federating, feel free to share the post:

Federated Media on Threads

Now that #Threads accounts can be followed on #Mastodon via the #Fediverserse protocol & vice versa, we find that Threads posts seen on Mastodon looks like Mastodon posts & on Threads, Mastodon posts look like Threads posts. #interoperability prioritizes content over platform.

This flips the current paradigm, where each micro-blogging platform distinguishes itself from its competitors with specific policies & features. Interoperability could commodify platforms, so all they offer is presence.

Not gonna lie, as monopolistic as Meta is, it would be nice to finally see Threads posts, the Fediverse (particularly Mastodon) is still very void of younger people, based on the many age range polls that I've seen pop up every now and then.

#Fediverse #Threads #Meta #Mastodon

Co-founder of Twitter joins new Mastodon board of directors. Right, so federating with Threads wasn’t a mistake. This is just the direction Mastodon is going. Oh, well. Another Mozilla emerges.

According to a 3rd party quoted in Business Insider, #Threads is now surpassing #Twitter/#X in a key metric.

In April so far, "Threads has averaged an estimated 28 million daily active users, ....a roughly 55% increase in DAUs from December"

"X has averaged 22 million DAUs, a usage rate that's 21% lower than Threads."

Meta's Threads now has more daily US users than Musk's X

Launched less than a year ago as a rival for Twitter, Threads is continuing to gain ground with users.

Some people get replies and just do not engage at all....

Like, what is the point of posting to social media if you're not even gonna be SOCIAL?!?🤦‍♂️

Especially Fedi, cause it's not like we have some dumb ad service that pays you for views...You ain't making money here unless you're posting off-platform links to buy stuff.

I just don't get it. It's social media. Not "shout to the void and ignore everyone" media.🙄

Threads is the largest player so far to adopt #ActivityPub, and as @mike says, “The implications are huge.”

Why is Threads doing this? How is the team working with the community? How are they thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward?
In the newest episode of @dot_social, Mike digs in with @rklambo, Director of Product Management, and @pcottle, Software Engineer. Check it out in the fediverse on PeerTube or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. More details here:

Threads Has Entered the Building (and the Dot Social Podcast) - Flipboard

Threads is the largest player so far to adopt ActivityPub, which is needed for the open social web to scale. Why is Threads doing this?

^{Mia Quagliarello (Flipboard)}

Well, I have deleted the Threads app. They don't seem interested in integrating in good faith, unfortunately. Therefore I don't see any point in advocating for them further.

Federate with them if you wish, but my first hand experience with their dev team has been completely in bad faith on their part...🤦‍♂️

Wow, Taylor Swift joined Threads and has 9M+ followers already!

Her account has not enabled fediverse sharing yet, but if/when they do, I'm eager to see how the fediverse handles it.

So none of you thinks the Threads / Activity Pub thing will have an impact?

My personal opinion is that its a strategic move to avoid regulation by being able to claim they are open.

#threads #activitypub

I know you can’t read this yet on #threads but federating a existing service is not that complicated.

The #activitypub specification allows you to implement things in an incremental way.

I worked in federation of our #flipboard network.

Federating #ghost can’t be that complicated.

#Mastodon biggest supporter is at it again. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/15/x-small-fee-new-users/

If this happens people will jump to #Threads as well

^{Juli Clover (MacRumors.com)}

I started a 4th self-updating table, this time of #Media accounts on #Threads that have activated federation (aka "that can be followed from #Mastodon). Is this useful, do we need that? I fear that this will grow quickly and I will definitely need help finding all acounts. But if there's interest, I can try.

Here it is (the Dashboard is not yet very useful, I know):

I'm seeing the same thing! Pretty cool!

I can follow and like my THREADS account from Mastodon, but I can't figure out how to follow my Mastodon account on the Threads side. Have you been able to get it to work?

"I can follow and like my THREADS account from Mastodon, but I can't figure out how to follow my Mastodon account on the Threads side"

That's because you seeing your #Threads account on Mastodon is an illusion, a mirage

Open up your Threads account using a real web browser on a laptop or desktop so you can see what's happening

Look at the address bar

The URL will look as though your Threads account is homed on Mastodon, thus:

sfba.social / @zuck

See the top three pinned posts on my profile for more examples

But right now Threads is behind a one-way mirror from Mastodon / the Fediverse

"Threads on Mastodon and The Bright Future of the Fediverse"

This is a terrific, non-jargony read about what works and doesn't work on Threads and Mastodon in the fediverse.

And the great potential as federation moves forward.

Lovely work, learned a lot. 👏🏻

First time I've seen this. Looks like the "fediverse seeing Threads posts" setting actually works.

Threads and the Fediverse - A Smarter Battle Plan to Protect the Open Social Web

With the #meta #Project92 or #Threads Fediverse offering, there has been a, well, robust discussion of how to avoid threats looming. Those advocating mass-preemptive defederation make three cases for it.

^{www.timothychambers.net}

Last month, Meta's Threads took its first step into the fediverse. @quillmatiq@mastodon.social, aka @quillmatiq@threads.net took that as his cue to experiment with how his Threads feed would look like on Mastodon. Here's what he discovered about organizing the chaos, different clients (hello @phanpy) and whether he'll cut the Threads cord when federation is complete.

@petrescatraian
If I understand Meta's announcement here, posts from outside of #Threads are not visible in Threads at all. Not yet, anyway. Currently, information can flow from Threads into the Fediverse, but not in the opposite direction.

The "our phased approach to the Fediverse" part of this indicates that Meta eventually plans to allow two-way communication between Threads and the Fediverse.
