Meta’s Threads Joins the Fediverse Party: What You Need to Know
Meta’s Threads now lets users in over 100 countries cross-post to the fediverse, making social networking more interconnected than ever. Just be aware: once your posts are out there, they’re out there. So, if you start seeing your cat memes on Mars, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Hot Take:
Meta is finally playing nice with the fediverse, but don’t expect them to share the last cookie!
Key Points:
- Meta’s Threads introduced a beta feature for cross-posting with Mastodon and other federated social networks.
- Fediverse sharing is now available in over 100 countries.
- Users can toggle Fediverse sharing through a single link or via a step-by-step process on mobile and web.
- Meta can request the removal of shared posts from other servers, but it’s not guaranteed.
- Replies from Threads are shared across federated servers only if the original post’s author has sharing enabled.
