Idle thoughts about #Threads;

• has anyone with a Threads account tried migrating to a different instance? Might be a way to move Threads followers to a “normal" #Fediverse account (I do not expect this to be possible; this *is* facebook we're typing about)

• There's been *a lot* of discussion about for to handle Federation with Threads; I think I’ve come around to it as a possible way to encourage Meta/Facebook/Instagram/Threads users to migrate to other servers.

Well, account migration is not really part of ActivityPub underlying the Fediverse.

So Threads will almost certainly not have such a feature because Fediverse itself doesn't really have such a feature.

@WTL

I think so.

The focus on instances instead of real decentralization by focusing on users is one of the big criticisms I have about ActivityPub, one of the reasons this platform just isn't so interesting to me.

It was a development decision made long in the past, though, so it is what it is.
