I heard it's already launched, is it true?

Yeah, I'm aware it's from Meta so automatically it's going to be hated by people from Fediverse... But I think it's not fair to judge something until we try it directly.

I'm particularly interested in the ActivityPub compatibility, but it's seems like it's not going to be enabled on launch? Can anyone confirm?

NGL, my expectation is very low from this app. The fact that it's not going to be released in EU is very alarming, hmm. Meta isn't known for respecting user's privacy...

They 100% rushed launching it, after looking at how elno screwed things in Twitter. There's no better time to launch this, now or never. I think

Which I find a bit stupid.

They have one shot at converting launch hype into a user base.

Yes, twitter is a bit of a shitshow right now, but I doubt it will get any better in the coming months. So I don't see the urgency to push out a half-baked product.

But after the VR money bonfire they have had for the past two years, I think they are desperate for a new offering to gain some traction.
