Threads promised ActivityPub support, and the UI is clearly designed with federation in mind, yet it still hasn't arrived. How so?
- fmajid 3y agoIt was built by a very small skunkworks team and they are struggling to catch up with all the features required by a service with 100M+ users. Large bureaucratic corporations like Meta don’t usually turn on a dime.
- rsynnott 3y agoI’d say they’re trying to figure out an approach which won’t just lead to them being insta-blocked by ~all major instances. They could probably throw something over the wall tomorrow, but they have enough cryptospammers, TERFs, and other undesirables that it would be futile (most instances block very aggressively for cryptospammers in particular; IIRC some instances briefly blocked mastodon.social for that when its moderation fell behind). I’m not sure how they’ll square that circle, honestly.
