#Threads won’t support Activitypub or the Fediverse at launch, but it’s apparently still coming.
“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming”

Also there’s one great feature #Threads is shipping with that #Mastodon doesn’t yet have: control who replies to your posts.
“Instagram head Adam Mosseri posted that users will be able to decide who can reply to posts — everyone, profiles they follow, or mentioned accounts in the post.”
(If you want feature that here, go upvote it here https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8565)
The feature is actually already on the Mastodon roadmap under 'exploring', so that's encouraging. https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap 
@realcaseyrollins Indeed, and that may be one reason why they're delaying federation. Won't be a fun experience for their users if they set limited replies and then get replies anyway.
@Brendanjones An easy solution would be for their software to just hide responses to posts people shouldn't be able to respond to tho...that doesn't sound hard to do, but I'm not the one doing the work lol
@realcaseyrollins @Brendanjones They apparently chose another "solution": posts with limited replies won't be shared to the Fediverse at all
@tf @Brendanjones Oh that's interesting! What's your source for this?
