#Threads is testing federation for a few selected profiles. I'm now following @mosseri! It's one-way for now, but it's exciting. It's a step towards the interoperable social web that we've been advocating for 🙂

If you’ve got questions about what interoperability with #Threads means, we wrote this up back in July, and you can still refer to it:

Make no mistake, this is huge for Mastodon. Currently people have to choose between X, Mastodon, and Threads, and network effects play a dominant role in that choice. If we can say, you can access all the folks that went to Threads from a Mastodon account, that makes it a far more attractive option given all of its other perks 😉

@gargron Please allow follower only comments! After the european start of Threads I don't fear that vain influencers could misuse this feature (they have their accounts there) but it would save us from Threads trolls.
