I still can't believe it's app-only, that there's no desktop version. I refuse to wall off parts of the internet into silos that I have to enter through downloadable portals.
anti-hacker? I think on the hierarchical scale of hackers, people who download and deploy adblockers should be rated "script kiddy" :)
Lots of instances are anti-meta integration. But imo the protocol is open specifically for this kinda thing. I don’t have to use Facebook’s garbage, but I can still get content from people who do.
At that point, suddenly the activitypub feeds will start mysteriously getting unreliable/ratelimited and eventually support will be dropped and it'll be back to a silo.
You only build the walls high after you have captured everyone...
I think privacy is bigger issue here.
If you believe that, I'd like to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. It will eventually have activitypub too!
Is the website read-only or something?
I suppose this is so it can, like Twitter, be shared and embedded elsewhere for reference.
There is no general landing page if you go to threads.net.
Hell I know someone who bought one of those Samsung foldable phones so that he could ditch his laptop.
