As far as I can tell they don’t have support for activity pub but they say it’s coming and they’re working on it. Will they actually do it? Hard to say.

- ESMirro 3y agoI’m pretty confident they will, if only to cooperate with the EUs digital markets act.
- manuelmoreale 3y agoYeah that's interesting though because there are a lot of other rules they'll need to follow in order to comply with the new regulations. So it's gonna be interesting to see how they approach it. It's also going to be interesting to see how the fediverse will respond to this because it would be such an outlier in terms of size and resources.
- rsynnott 3y agoI think most instances will just have to block it, honestly. Unless it... provides fediverse access only to well-behaved accounts or something? This _could_ work, but would be a pretty bizarre user experience. Assuming it just federates as-is, though, I don't think it'll last a day on most instances.
- manuelmoreale 3y agoYeah but how do you even define well-behaved? That can become complicated real fast. My bet is that they'll just allow people to follow an account using the classic @username@threads.net and they'll allow for export of the content and that's about it.
- lapcat 3y agoIs that part of DMA compliance? If so, then what about Facebook itself?
- HamptonFounders 3y agoYeah, I'm watching this with great interest.
- HamptonFounders 3y agolol... well here's one opinion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36669480 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36669480
