Alex Gleason (npub108p…yev6) Over night some posts from Threads (from Adam Mosseri) appeared on my system, so this seems to work fine.
One is a video where Adam Mosseri explains the launch in Europe and the steps towards the Fediverse. It appears as if he has got a deep knowledge of this whole topic. For example he made clear that the whole system is the Fediverse, the Protocol is ActivityPub and Mastodon is one of many applications in the Fediverse. Here he is already better than a lot of the Mastodon users of the Fediverse, who always call it "Mastodon".
I'm still not 100% where this will lead to and which motivation they drive. I don't think that their primary target is to dry out the Fediverse. They have got 100 million active users per month, the fediverse around 2. You don't invest such a lot time just for 2% gain.
Same is valid for this "they want our profile data" argument. They can gain some information about which user interacts with other users. But this doesn't help their ad business, since they cannot connect Fediverse accounts with IP addresses or cookies or any other tracking techniques.
By now I think that they want to avoid trouble via the EU because of their Digital Markets Act.
