So, before beginning my 4 months of parental leave in June, I wrote an article for @heiseonline describing, why one on #Threads should activate federation with the #Fediverse. I did this in anticipation, that this option would become availabla in the EU while I’m gone.
After almost two months, it’s still not here. Seems like preparing the article wasn’t necessary. Will it come before christmas maybe? 🙄
i am very heavily on the stance of threads doing an EEE, and mabye indirectly forcing other companies with good intentions to leave.
Honestly at this point threads federation probably won’t even be able to get the first 2 E’s because it’s opt-in on the Threads side. Most Threads users don’t know what ActivityPub is and aren’t going to go digging through settings to turn it on. Aside from the POTUS Threads account I legitimately haven’t found a threads account I’d remotely care about that bothered to turn it on, even among some of the more tech-oriented ones
