You all may have already heard, but Meta is gearing up to release a Twitter clone (possibly called Threads). The weird part is that they intend to use ActivityPub.

What are your thoughts? And what are the odds that they get de-federated in most instances?

    It’s one of the smartest moves they’ve made in a while, kicking Twitter over as it crashes. Of course, I hope it is de-federated because otherwise Meta will be monetizing data from other instances, guaranteed.

      I think it’s a smart move by them, too. There’s a real desire for “Twitter without Musk’s stupidity,” and they have the capability to do it.
