Did meta anounce that threads will be compatible with mastadon or did miss something.

They previously announced that they would federate with ActivityPub, but yesterday we learned that it won't happen for "three months." With all the European regulatory issues and other factors, I'll bet it will be a lot longer than that. In fact, I'd be surprised if we ever see full federation capability.

Oh, was EU able to block them from joining the fediverse or are they just stalling for some other reason?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They haven't said why. I'm assuming that federation with outside entities would present some logistical problems for them w/r/t their privacy obligations in Europe. If that's right, I suspect the whole ActivityPub thing could be "delayed" indefinitely.

Thanks y'all for explaining. Imo it is a good thing that it is "delayed".

Yep. They said it won't have the activitypub protocol implemented at launch, but it will come soon after, so it can be federated with Mastodon.
