The difference is nobody used XMPP before and after Google integrated it. People are using the fediverse. I don’t think people already using the fediverse will ever migrate to threads. If anything, people may realise that they can talk to threads people and leave Meta’s system. Even the BBC and the European Union have their own instances. I cannot see them migrating to Threads whenever Meta messing with politics is a known issue

The BBC actually does have a presence on Threads, but they gave up on it like everyone else did, I believe.
Would be best if they just stick to social.bbc
I think that’s the case right now. They’ve extended their trial of the fediverse early this year.
Has Threads already implemented activityPub or is it work in progress?
WIP. You can see threads posts from other instances but threads cannot see other instances IIRC
so it’s only one way federation. hm
They federate with mastodon.social
