How does Threads federation work compared to Mastodon? Do they have an allow list?
Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities so I’m curious if Threads can already federate with Lemmy.

Oh wow, that’s quite… something.
Given how targeted the attacks were at certain people, does this imply a bunch of people walking around with explosives in their pagers, where they weren’t set off because they weren’t one of the targets?
I think you misunderstood the comment you are replying to.
The WordPress Foundation does not have the same owner as WordPress.com.
The problem is that a website is generally not served from one domain.
Put a Facebook like button on your website, it’s loaded directly from Facebook servers. Now they can put a cookie on your computer with an identifier.
Now every site you visit with a Facebook like button, they know it was you. They can watch you as you move around the web.
Google does this at a larger scale. Every site with Google ads on it. Every site using Google analytics. Every site that embeds a Google map. They can stick a cookie in and know you were there.
Yeah I’ve never seen it either. However, I was curious if it was because instances were blocking it (as in fedipact).
Checking out Lemmy.world, I noticed threads is actually listed as a linked server. So at some point, lemmy.world has traded content with threads.net.
Though I can’t actually find the content. And there don’t seem to be any threads.net users (except a couple who wrote it in their display name as some sort of joke), so perhaps there are some threads users who are following lemmy communities but haven’t commented (or aren’t able to)?
