[jeremycherfas] It would nice if one could POSSE to and backfill from Threads, but I’m not holding my breath.
# [jeremycherfas] IF
# [jeremycherfas] But yes.
# [jeremycherfas] It would be wonderful if newly revitalised WithKnown were to have a plugin to federate.

# petermolnar 🐦💩 as a response from twitter would be much more meaningful, than mere 💩

# petermolnar honest question regarding Threads (apart from Meta being part of the Thread home automation protocol and Instagram apparently already had an app called Threads https://techcrunch.com/2021/11/17/instagram-will-shut-down-its-companion-app-threads-by-year-end/ , sure, glorious name): why does anyone care?
# petermolnar there's so much buzz and hype around "new" social networks that are "like X 15 years ago" that is just absurd for me
# petermolnar it's not the social shit I want back from 15 years ago, it's the new dead communities that were pushed into oblivion by these social things or that became an unusable, unsearchable, noisy FB group
# petermolnar (I know I'm not in -chat, I think this is on topic)
# petermolnar caring about any of them (as in implementing bridges, POSSE, PESOS, etc solutions) will just help repeating the cycle

# petermolnar the only "benefit" I'd see if it - Thread - allows users to automatically re-post their instagram content, meaning instagram content would be possible to be read through activitypub, but I'm finding it hard to believe Meta would want this to happen

[Murray] if Thread federates then it might provide some improved levels of interop, and reach, so I can understand the hope there. I feel its doubtful this will be allowed, but we'll see. A few people have pointed out that simply having a large instance on the Fediverse would aid Meta's ability to data-scrape the whole network, which may be business case enough to allow for true federation

# [jeremycherfas] The reason I am interested in Threads is because I have a podcast that I would like to be able to put in front of lots of people, in the hope that some will find it worthwhile.
# [jeremycherfas] If I can also communicate casually with that community, so much the better.
