Remember, kids, that there already used to be a connection between what's the Fediverse today and what's Meta today. That was in 2011 when Friendica one-sidedly established bidirectional federation with Facebook. No, I'm not even kidding. Friendica was fully federated with Facebook. It did require a Facebook account, but still, you could use Facebook without actually using Facebook. People would mirror their entire Facebook timelines into Friendica.
This ended when Facebook found out and changed its developer TOS: Third-party applications that connect to Facebook were only allowed to send data to Facebook, but no longer to extract data from Facebook. This led to the slow death of Friendica's Facebook connector.
Fast-forward to 2023: Facebook (the corporation) is now Meta. And they've created their own micro-blogging service for the Fediverse, namely Threads. And now they're opening it to the Fediverse.
Remember that Friendica is still part of that self-same Fediverse.

So Threads is opening itself to the Fediverse?

And what do you know: One of the very very very first connections to Threads came from, wait for it, Friendica!
Meta’s content moderation policies and systems have increasingly silenced voices in support of Palestine on Instagram and Facebook in the wake of the hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups.
L’urlo di Threads fa cagare addosso il Fediverso? EEE… basta
«Noi siamo #Threads, l'esistenza come voi la conoscete è terminata, assimileremo le vostre peculiarità biologiche e tecnologiche alle nostre. La resistenza è inutile.»

Il fediverso, spiegato da Il Post per tutti quelli che hanno scoperto questa parola solo iscrivendosi a Threads
#Meta #Threads e il #Fediverso: Il dibattito e le polemiche che in certe comunità #Mastodon (e non solo) sono da tempo un campo di battaglia in cui si confrontano opinioni estremamente diverse
Nella frase "SE si attiene a una politica giusta" quel SE è grande come una casa: è una azienda che ha nel suo business plan la monetizzazione dell'odio, fatta ignorando se da quest'odio deriva un genocidio in Birmania, un assalto al campidoglio negli USA, un referendum manipolato in UK, dove quell'azienda è stata strumento fondamentale. Basta informarsi sulle politiche di #Meta per scoprire questioni etiche enormi.
Lo scossone per il Fediverso sarà enorme: guardando alla sproporzione di risorse tra Meta e l’universo federato, sembra chiaro che tutto ciò porterà a una distruzione del Fediverso per come lo conoscevamo
In quali modi il Fediverso può reagire all'irruzione di Threads?

L’Asociación de Medios de Información ha avviato una causa contro #Meta per concorrenza sleale nel mercato pubblicitario. Chiesto risarcimento di 550 milioni di euro per non aver individuato una corretta base giuridica per il trattamento dei dati degli utenti. Ecco il cuore della questione e le possibili ripercussioni, anche in Italia
L’Asociación de Medios de Información, che rappresenta più di ottanta testate giornalistiche spagnole, ha avviato una causa contro Meta per concorrenza sleale nel mercato pubblicitario.
