I also really liked these 2. you might want to check out ZorinOS, it’s what I’m trying out now

I went to go see if there was any new info and just saw that as well, kind of encouraging to see it confirmed they will work with mastodon though

from this article: https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/5/23784160/instagram-threads-twitter-competitor-web

yeah I’m not holding my breath haha I was not expecting it to be on ActivityPub so was surprised to read that rumor, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if they are very restricted or defederate basically everyone else

I have absolutely no intention of using Threads (for obvious reasons: meta data collection), but I’m interested to see if it can push the fediverse into mainstream conversation. I basically only used twitter for sports news so if those reporters end up on Threads and I can follow them from Mastodon I wouldn’t mind. Of course none of that matters if it’s not on ActivityPub like it’s rumored to be, or if they implement any kind of restrictions to users not on their instance, like following users or liking posts.
