Meta’s new app Threads plans to federate with the fediverse. They specifically mentioned mastodon. That’s probably why.

They’re sick and tired of Twitter I guess 🤷.

Twitter rate limiting and broader fediverse awareness.

Lenny is showing them how well a fediverse can work, so they want to try more social media based on it. Also twitter is a tire fire right now.

Cuz reddit and Twitter are going to hell?
