Threads’ roadmap for integrations with the fediverse, aka the network of decentralized apps that includes Twitter/X rival Mastodon and others, has been revealed. A new blog post by Tom Coates, the co-founder of an older decentralized app called Planetary, details the events of a December meeting at Meta’s offices where the Threads team had reached out to members of the fediverse community to get feedback about the Instagram-led project to take on X with a decentralized app that will eventually interoperate with others in the fediverse by way of the ActivityPub protocol.

It's hard to say how many active users are on Threads, but of 160 million registered users there's probably somewhere between 20 and 50 million (somewhat) active ones. That's more people than are signed up to Bluesky, as far as I can gather.

A lot of Twitter addicts are going to Bluesky, whereas Threads feeds off the huge user base of Instagram. Bluesky just looks more relevant seen from the Fediverse because it attracts a bunch of dorks.
