Getting Tangled Up in Threads
Getting Tangled Up in Threads
As Threads rolls out federation capabilities and tests out Fediverse compatibility, people are getting worked up over what's next.
The Fediverse is currently divided over whether or not to block Threads. Here are some of the things people are worried about, some opportunities that might come from it, and what we need to do to prepare.
The only people arguing for it omit moral considerations, which is sad to see so widespread. There’s a certain price not worth paying for our toys.
@deadsuperhero Loved this article, very well written!
Preparing intensifies...
There's no reason to not block threads. If someone wants to use it, they can go there and use it. There's absolutely 0 need for the fediverse to have Meta anywhere near it.
Say Meta does get federated. How long until they begin making contributions to ActivityPub? Before Meta decides it's a worthwhile purchase?
Fetch authorization and defederate.
A great and thoughtful article.
