I think ActivityPup isn't even integrated into Threads yet? On release they said soon, a week later they said it was long-time planning. Haven't heard about it since.
@cambionn @Bicyclejohn They've gone from talking about ActivityPub support as a thing that is happening "soon," to something that is "further down the road" and a "long term goal." If they decide they can sustain the platform without it, I expect they'll drop the feature.
On the one hand, great, I don't want Meta anywhere near something I like. On the other hand, my friends are going to be on Threads, not Mastodon, so it'd be nice to follow them without having to go there.
So we have nothing to worry about?
…….Yet. Some instances have prematurely announced defederation from threads.
They say they'll do it but if they get a enough users without it then I think they might scrape that feature. I can't imagine it integrates well with their existing code
