Last night Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, quitely announced the next step in the integration of Threads into the Fediverse. In addition to being able to follow Threads accounts from Fediverse/Mastodon accounts, we can now reply to and like Threads posts. Threads are taking a quiet, incremental approach to Federation, but seem genuinely commited.

From About Threads and the fediverse

If you turn on sharing to the fediverse, users on other servers can search for and follow your profile, view your posts, interact with your content, and share your content to anyone on or off their server. On Threads, you’ll be able to see the number of users on other servers who liked your post. You'll also be able to see and like their replies to your post.

Pray tell, what possible benefit can Lemmy communities gain from Facebook users?

my goal is to provide an offtramp to those stuck in facebook hell. the first step is for new users to be able to access their old friends. i am human-being centric, not knee-jerk meta-hate-centric. you do you.

lemmy desperately needs non-bot content. interaction with threads.net could add real conversations.

You do realize most people who joined the Fediverse did so because Facebook and the likes are a steaming pile of shit, right?

im not going to make assumptions on 'most users' for what is expected to be a federated service between millions of people on thousands of instances of dozens of platforms. thats just stupid.

What possible benefit is there to the pile of shit coming to splatter itself here uninvited?

im here to intercommunicate with humans, even if they are on a server run by meta. i dont give a shit about meta, its the people that matter.
