Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.

"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @mosseri@threads.net.””

“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,” he said.

“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

    There’s a tonne of comments saying about EEE but people need to be aware that EEE is famous for not being successful

    Microsoft themselves who coined the term gave up on the approach after a number of unsuccessful attempts

      EEE not being successful doesn’t mean it doesn’t do any damage on its target.

      Microsoft might have given up on it, but that doesn’t mean that it haven’t done enough damage to cripple its targets.
