Why is Everyone Obsessed with Twitter? Threads Poses Real Threat to Mastodon, Bluesky

Meta in a blogpost on Wednesday announced that its new offering “Threads” will soon be built on ActivityPub, a protocol that is used to post on other decentralised networks. This is unique as it would make Threads interoperable with other platforms like WordPress, Mastodon and Bluesky.

Meta’s plan is to convert Threads into a fediverse platform, a new type of network that allows people to follow and interact with each other on different decentralised social media platforms, such as Mastodon and Bluesky. This would also enable an individual with a public profile on Threads to have an audience across similar decentralised applications. Alternatively, with a private profile, you can approve followers and interact with them, similar to instagram.
