OK, seen about a dozen posts today that start with:
"When #Threads federates with the fediverse..."
They go on to imagine some wonderful or awful scenario where the floodgates are open and #Threads becomes another #ActivityPub app like #CalcKey or #Plemora.
Maybe.... but what you are envisioning is really very unlikely. Threads is entirely algorithm driven. How's that going to work? Plus they have no interest in letting their captured users escape.
Be careful with these assumptions.

Marking their words:
"the open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet.

We believe this decentralized approach, similar to the protocols governing email and the web itself, will play an important role in the future of online platforms."
Sounds good, "shape the future of the internet" in particular, I hope you feel recognised @evan :-)
@supergrobi @evan Indeed, it all sounds very "interoperable". Let's see what they actually do.
