It’s been almost 3 months since #Threads joined the Fediverse family. A quick overview of what changed since then:<li><p>The hordes of Nazi/homophobic users from the outside world into our safe islands are nowhere to be seen. I was insulted multiple times a couple of months ago, along the lines of “<em>if you don’t proactively defederate Threads then you’re an asshole who does nothing to protect the marginalized minorities on the Fediverse from the outside world!</em>“. Well, guess what, it turns out that not everyone outside of our comfort zone is a pathological jerk craving for psychological abuse. It turns out that, again, the “oppressed minorities” Fediverse police over-reacted. And it turns out that the whole Fedipact thingy was nothing but collective hysteria.</p></li><li><p>The Threads-Fedi sync is still an opt-in feature, and only available to accounts in selected countries. And posting responses from the Fediverse to a Threads post isn’t supported yet. I’m not sure if they are ever going to change that, but given the lack of announcements in these months I’m wondering if anybody at Meta is even bothering to work on this integration, or if it was just about a loud announcement followed by abandonment - Google’s favourite product strategy.</p></li><li><p>Threads itself, after reaping the initial novelty benefits, is losing momentum.</p></li>
Result: I added a couple of Threads accounts to my list, I see their content on my timeline every now and then, I can’t even interact with it, end of the story.
