Meta is treading carefully, doing a phased implementation while continuing conversations with Fediverse leaders. This will give the company more time to iron out some of the integration kinks. “Do we adapt the protocol to be able to support this?” Lambert asks. “Or do we try to do some kind of interesting, unique implementation?” For example, Threads supports audio posts, a feature not currently supported within ActivityPub, so Meta is experimenting with “federating” a text transcription of the original post instead of the audio version.

It was never a good idea federating with Threads

    I keep seeing people hating on the EEE crowd. Finally meta makes a move that proves we were right.

      EEE?

      Edit: When did people start referring to embrace, extend, extinguish as EEE? I’ve heard of the term plenty for the past ~24 years but never seen this acronym before? Ah well…

              The precursor of reddit is also still there. Google kicked it out of relevance all those years back.

              I read about it since I have a matrix instance and shopped alternatives. What would you say are the points it has over matrix?

                It just seems faster in every client that I’ve tried. There’s also a lot of software that’s built around it, and crucially, my xmpp bridge isn’t banned from joining Libera IRC channels.
