Today, Meta is launching its new microblogging platform called Threads. What is noteworthy about this launch is that Threads intends to become part of the decentralized social web by using the same standard protocol as Mastodon, ActivityPub. There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today…

    Twitter was harder to leave for me than Reddit because you’re following specific users rather than community topics (I follow a bot on mastodon that recreates tweets, but even that is having some minor issues with the recent changes). I honestly hope that Threads gets a lot of those users and that it decides to federate down the road, it would be nice to follow some more mainstream users while keeping my home in Mastodon

        I believe they’ve stated that they intend to implement ActivityPub at some point but have not yet, so I federation yet.
