      I’m sure it will come to the EU eventually. Probably sooner rather than later.

      Only in the app stores, once you grab the apk in android it works also in EU.

        The majority of people will not look into doing that. A lot of people asked me if I had a Samsung or Apple charger. For them, Samsung did its own thing like Apple. They didn’t know Samsung was Android

    Sly way for the article to be titled. It’s almost as if they’re trying to mask Meta/Facebook being the owner of it.

      Absolutely. They know that Facebook is uncool and unpopular. The Instagram branding still has some capital with the yutes.

      Edit: I don’t mean to say that The Verge is doing this intentionally (maybe, I don’t know), but Meta certainly is.

    Can’t stand Meta or Zuck, but I do hope this kills twitter

    watches from Mastodon as the cool kids from Twitter switch to being the cool kids on Threads, goes back to reading the always interesting/fascinating/weird federated timeline

    I hope my instance defederates even before they’re live on activepub

    On the page showing the app screenshots, it says it will soon be able to interact with mastadon. This is the moment.

      I pay a small sum per month to the Mastodon admin that runs my instance. If it chooses to federate with Threads, I’ll consider moving to another instance that doesn’t. Facebook is a toxic company and shouldn’t be treated any differently than a toxic Lemmy instance.

      Such is the beauty of decentralization! 🎉

        This is my favorite part of the fediverse, because someone on the opposite side could be very excited to finally interact with their more mainstream social circles. I dig it.

        Yep. I’m going to watch who federates and who doesn’t. Not staying on there if they do.
