I spent the last few days almost literally under a rock and... what the hell is Threads and why is it everywhere?

What were you doing to almost literally be under a rock? I'm intrigued

While the title may be clever, Threads is an Instagram creation, not one of Facebook, and while both are products of Meta, Facebook content (and even Instagram content) and Lemmy content would never co-mingle.

I immediately created an account.

But.... Do we really expect Threads users to make their Mastodon-type tweets even show up on Reddit-style Lemmy?

HARD agree. Let's make this happen!

I disagree with the prevailing sentiment here. Meta using ActivityPub is going to help ActivityPub grow an will be good for federated platforms like lemmy, and mastadon.

Lemmy should not block threads.net. Individual users can simply opt out of using threads, but it's good if we can communicate with people using it and they can communicate with us using a decentralized, free, standard.

If you want to communicate with the people on there, then make an account on their instance.
