I have zero faith that will happen. I don't think they anticipated how well threads would be adopted and that saying they'd federate was just a hedge.

I'm sure that's what they want. A free and open platform that doesn't rely on advertising and isn't there to make a profit? Kill it!

A few instances will likely federate with threads, but probably not the interesting ones...

I think the implication was that Threads will not actually federate

Oh I think they'll do, just to not miss the train, and then they'll find a "smart" way to "destroy" federation and get people on their side... But we'll see...
