For those of us who plan to federate with #Threads, we really need to do a better job of communicating to people that they will be able to interact with Threads from Mastodon, and that that is the superior choice.
Some people here are getting Threads accounts, without realising it will soon be unnecessary. People on Twitter are pretty much in the dark about the whole thing.

@axbom @zleap Yes, the head of Instagram has confirmed it: “Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon.” https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/adam-mosseri-says-metas-threads-app-wont-have-activitypub-support-at-launch/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGU79423lt-KTyjQTs8UeQjABr6kC6unKIT8GkhIIpO2cTXJJLWQBOnqTm-3V5GCr7YRkbcnkteb8Og6Xx1SnYFLjn9o7EhYR99W5xQ8j0UT2aq32qZhhrKry-JkgL3_KtsGkeZoNxxSBdhsbBiLFmPuLqBJTmEg6wrpVjfpzWHk
I guess the main issue here is still privacy, one of the points of the article is that the fediverse respects privacy, Meta / Threads clearly does not, so while Threads can federate it by no means respects privacy. So any articles that cite Threads as being part of Fedi, neeed to be really really clear about this.
Otherwise it could look bad on fedi, or give the wrong impression.
Has Meta confirmed that Threads will actually federate? According to reports I've seen it will only be able to "export" a Threads account for import to a Mastodon/Fediverse account.
