Meta announced Wednesday that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own.

“Threads is deepening its ties to the fediverse, also known as the open social web, which powers services like X alternative Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Flipboard and other apps. On Wednesday, Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse. The latter had previously been announced via an in-app message informing users that API posts would be shared to the fediverse starting on August 28.”

    Threads has about 200 million monthly users, 33 million daily users. The fediverse has just under 1 million monthly users. Do you really think that 0.5% has any relevance to Meta?

    Do you really think they would care about those users when they extend and extinguish the Fediverse?

      @Dirk How should they achieve it? The Fediverse contains of a lot of different systems that offer so much more than Threads could ever do.

        Nobody can ever explain how EEE could work in this scenario. They just parrot it and stop thinking.
