In reviewing the Fedipact page, I noticed the message about Threads having moved to threads.com nearly a year ago. In reviewing federation status with the Federation Checker tool, I noticed that most Lemmy instances don’t appear to have added threads.com to their defederation lists. Is Threads able to federate with other Fediverse instances using its new domain?
That is definitely it, they made it technically possible to say they are competitive and not a trust, and then sabotaged it so it’s actually not workable. As our regulators and courts are captured that obvious slight of hand is enough of an excuse for the authorities to pretend to believe them.
