Threads integration into fediverse — how it will work

An engineer at Meta's Threads has recently shown how integrating the platform into the fediverse will work.

The fediverse has accumulated a population of just over 13 million users and over 18,000 servers, according to Fediverse Party.

Most fediverse instances still dont apear to want to peer with threads. Although it's nice that they are educating people about the fediverse.

I think most open source social media projects tend to shy away from megacorporations, but yes Meta touching the fediverse is a bit too close for comfort as a lot of those users are trying to stay away from mainstream social media.
I think people are worried about Meta influence of the fediverse at large.

I think it is a great move as it gives users of both platforms the choice to connect or not. I'd like to reconnect with some of my family I left behind as they never migrated to the Fediverse. It will also allow those who fear leaving their friends behind, to migrate off Threads, as they can connect from the other side.
