"We expect that eventually Mastodon and Threads will be interoperable, and from a technical standpoint, users will be able to follow each other and exchange messages."
Eventually! But not now or on/near a future date. Let's just assume. Give Meta the benefit of the doubt.
And then let's just keep imagining the future we want will arrive.
"The fact that large platforms are adopting ActivityPub is...a path forward for people locked into these platforms to switch to better providers. Which in turn, puts pressure on such platforms to provide better, less exploitative services."
This person really believes, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, that Meta will let users just leave, no strings attached. So naive it's a bit suspicious where this person is coming from.
