It is still on Meta servers.
At the moment you can't even use the web UI without installing the official app so I am skeptical.
I think this is nice in a time when social media companies have been actively killing third-party apps
Be the same as Twitter/X and Reddit. Use the Microsoft Embrace-Extend-Extinguish approach. Get some nice third party clients using the API, realise you can't pump ads into them, block them and force people to use the official apps because everyone is now using the platform and can't go anywhere else.
take control of activitypub and forcibly remove Facebook from it
Is there someone using Threads?
