Here’s everything we know about it so far:
- It will use ActivityPub.
- It will be a side app of Instagram.
- It will most likely be called Threads.
- Your Instagram verification status will transfer over.
- There will be easy discovery tools in place: Your Instagram followers will be able to follow you on Threads as well (they won’t transfer over automatically).
What do you think?
I don’t want anything else related to Meta…
I stopped using Fb years ago and had to use it again not long ago because I moved countries and the demographic here can’t stop using Fb/Instagram/Whatsapp for everything related to business.
But if it uses ActivityPub (and from my understanding that’s decentralized), couldn’t I just use my Mastodon account to interact with people there? Would that mean that my Instagram (or, in this case, “Threads”) account can potentially communicate with Mastodon accs as well?
Typical corporate hopping on the bandwagon but having a locked down fork of it. Avoid
meta Barcelona will be federated and in the demo screenshots that leaked you can see a user from metas platform replying to someone on mastodon.social
