Who cares. From one walled garden to the next. Renting identities on permissioned networks is so tiresome.

I care - I care that users are leaving a neo-nazi led platform. Problem might be that the new platform's leader also seems to support the current king, sorry, president.

Threads is not a walled garden though. It's got Activity Pub integration and you can follow Fediverse accounts already. I think the other way around it's still a work in progress.

It will remain a work in progress forever. There's no incentive to implement anything further.

One day Facebook used open XMPP so you could chat across networks. It does not anymore. Why would we expect AP integration to survive?

Also due to large amount of spam, many instances don't federate with Threads.

The irony on this post is palpable.

It’s actually not, it’s not apparent what you mean at all. As a result this reads as a comment that doesn’t engage anyone except those who share your particular thoughts.

Could you perhaps spell out what irony you are referring to?

You're literally doing the "and yet you participate in society" bit...
