I thought Threads was for people who thought Mastodon was too complicated. What's all this "turn on sharing" mess?

Threads is for whoever Meta can sell it to, and I think it was pretty far along in its development before they actually committed to ActivityPub support.

Bruh we knew they were federating before we even knew the name of the platform. Pretty sure it was always intended that way.

The fact that it's been out for a year and federation is still only half-implemented suggests to me the decision to add it was pretty late in the development process, even if it was early in the marketing process.
