Hi! Dev and OP here.

Yes, I am more than aware that the fediverse can see Threads profiles and posts. However, adding to what T said:

1. Federation is an optional feature, and does not account for profiles which have it disabled. So those simply won’t pop up on Mastodon.
2. Threads has not been received well by a huge chunk of the fediverse, including myself, due to Meta essentially collecting data from users outside of Threads without their explicit consent. As such, many instances have defederated from Threads.
3. Federation on Threads is only available in certain regions. To be exact, if you’re a Threads user, you cannot enable federation unless you live in the US, Canada, or Japan.

It may be an option for you, but it really depends on the instance your account is in, and who do you want to follow. Shoelace, on the other hand, would only be limited by the capabilities from unauthenticated API endpoints Meta provides, but any public post or profile can be opened.

I’m prepared to receive intimidation letters at my door! Thankfully I live in a country (Chile. Can’t really hide it, since you can geolocate my server and see that indeed it’s hosted there) where it wouldn’t be very much valuable for [m3t4] to sue me, since they haven’t signed with a law firm here from what I can see. It would be much easier for them to just try and keep their platform closed off, which would mean they kill the open aspect of the platform. It would also be a win for the Fediverse, who has not received it well. Heck, I don’t like it as well.

It’s a coincidence! I named it kind of to refer to how a shoelace is composed of several strings.

I’ll be suggesting it to them for sure!

Ok, but what does this mean honestly? I’m sharing libre software you can selfhost. This is within topic.

The fact that our current political climate completely ignores our impending extinction constantly kinda terrifies me. Our current debates are now just moral panics on queer folk which will not just worsen things for them (or rather us, since I’m trans), but will bring nothing to the table and, oh yeah, won’t solve our actual issues. It’s as if the people starting these distractions don’t care about anyone but themselves…

great! can’t wait for this to drop on the release channel!
