Threads deepens its ties to the open social web, aka the 'fediverse' | TechCrunch

"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."

Theres no balance when one instance floods the whole network with millions of users. Soon people will mean that "threads" is whole "fediverse" .

ActivityPub is pull, not push. Threads isn't pushing anything into my feeds.

This is completely wrong.

No.

Guess who wrote Lemmy? https://github.com/dessalines

And?

Well, that convinced me. Thanks for your insight on the matter, I now know how to value the rest of your comments.

It's problematic when people conflate their gut feelings for facts.

Also troed:
I understand activitypub better than creator of Lemmy

What has argument from authority to do with facts?

You only get posts from those you subscribe to. That's the "pull" part.
