In theory threads could then be federated with other ActivityPub servers (Mastodon and Lemmy for example). In practice, many instance admins saw it as meta's way to invade that space with their own proprietary bullshit on top of it so they can progressively take control of it. So many decided to block threads as soon as it would be able to federate with their instance. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vantablack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 months ago yup! there was a huge effort over at https://fedipact.online/ with close to like 1000 signatures permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bloefz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* Of course the community blocked it. They didn't even try to disguise their EEE attempt (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish). Duh. And this isn't the first time. Back in the day Facebook messenger was actually fully XMPP federation compatible!
