They've been doing it for quite a while. Very slowly. The problem is it's currently unidirectional, and opt-in. I imagine its the same reason Apple has adopted RCS (also opt-in): legal pressure.

If they just ignore it completely, legislators might completely fuck them like they did Apple with alternative payments. But if they kinda half-ass it then they can point to it and say "SEE, WE HAVE INTEROP! NO MONOPOLY!"

Its a bit charitable to call threads a monopoly since no one uses it.

  1. Bit charitable to say "no one uses it" when they have >300M MAU
  2. Wasn't talking about Threads, I was talking about Meta.

I honestly doubt that, It has no relevance -- at all. I see screenshots of bluesky posts everywhere, but rarely see threads posts.

You're giving me anecdotes and I'm giving you statistics.

I know, but the source for your statistic is Meta themselves.
