@benjistokman Sorry, the joke here is that *all three* of Threads, Bluesky, and Tumblr have vaguely claimed that federation is coming, but nobody seems reliably committed to anything at all. None of these are federated or will be this week. @benjistokman@mast.benstokman.me @mcc@mastodon.social I would like to announce ActivityPub support will be coming to my butt in six months. Yea what happened to Tumblr anyway? I'm guessing no official statement or anything but there's no gossip from inside about where priorities actually are? @mcc @benjistokman So it does seem like Threads federation won't happen this week because I assume we would have heard of it in advance as Meta does not work like Elon Musk's Twitter where every change is only known about the moment it is done but are we sure they aren't planning to federate pretty quick? It would make sense from their POV since they want it to help adoption and they did go through the trouble of having secret meetings with fediverse admins. |
@benjistokman The world's largest corporation announced through an unsigned comment on their blog that they are considering forming a task force to investigate the possibility of forming a team to create a prototype for adding support for the fediverse
