Hey, I saw a post by @tchambers@indieweb.social mentioning that the implementation of #ActivityPub in #Threads is going to be quite limited. Surprisingly, they don't have any plans to support rich text. Even Mastodon, which tends to be more conservative with these features, has plans to include rich text support.

Honestly, I think it's not a great decision on Meta's part and it could lead people to explore alternative social software that offers more features. Take
#Calckey (soon to be rebranded), for example, it has gained a lot of support because it's user-friendly and packed with features. People are looking for more than just a 500-character limit; they want quotes, rich text, a cloud drive, and the ability to share photo galleries, among other things.

Maybe Meta is trying to control the situation, but I doubt it will be successful in containing the demand for these features.
