Meta is treading carefully, doing a phased implementation while continuing conversations with Fediverse leaders. This will give the company more time to iron out some of the integration kinks. “Do we adapt the protocol to be able to support this?” Lambert asks. “Or do we try to do some kind of interesting, unique implementation?” For example, Threads supports audio posts, a feature not currently supported within ActivityPub, so Meta is experimenting with “federating” a text transcription of the original post instead of the audio version.

It was never a good idea federating with Threads

    the cool part is we dont have to care about the audio piece. its not being federated: i dont give a shit.

      Oh no, I totally agree.

      My comment is more on the trend of where general social media seems to be heading.

      That said, as long as we can continue to ignore… great!
