What made everybody move from a corporate social media platform to another corporate social media platform instead of the fediverse?

After all, the Fediverse and Activitypub is much more mature than Bluesky and the copycat AT protocol or Threads and … whatever they use.

      Threads uses opt-out ActivityPub.

      That’s not true. I can neither opt my test account in nor out of ActivityPub. It’s simply not available to Mastodon.

        Yeah, because your instance and almost all instances have decided to straight-up defederate cuz Meta will access the federated info

        I just edited my comment to add a link to the guide for opting in.

          No, it didn’t defederate from Threads.

          Meta will access Threads accounts via federation? Um, sure… I mean it’s on their platform already…

          “Be outside Europe” is hardly a guide to opt in. 🙄 I’m in Europe and my Threads profile just isn’t available on ActivityPub. Period.

            Ah, that makes sense.

            I agree. IMO the thing with everyone defederating from Threads is stupid. I’m expecting both of our replies to receive a bit of downvotes now.
