@AndresFreundTec That's messed up.

@georgetakei @donni

@carnage4life You should be able to force companies to design products in a way that doesn’t require them to maintain services forever for the products to remain operable.

@genex Maybe C.

@PamCrossland Threads is part of the fediverse.

@AlgoCompSynth @potus No, yours doesn't.

@AlgoCompSynth @potus No bridge required, Threads is interoperable with Mastodon. It's a direct connection, same as between mastodon.social and universeodon.com you're on. But if your operator blocks Threads, it won't work.

@samhenrigold They said adventure instead of journey

@ern Where have I ever said that?

@Nuncio If you click on the handle and it opens a web page instead of opening in your app, it means your service provider is blocking threads.net and preventing you from following the profile from your Mastodon account. You can complain to your operator, which you can find on your about page.

@CassandraZeroCovid @potus No.

@artemesia @Twitter_expat @potus Threads is part of the fediverse.

@sharoz From looking at your server's about page I've found that the operator is @quokka and that the list of blocked servers which would normally provide transparency on such decisions has not been made public.

@sharoz Click on the handle in my post. If it doesn't open, then your service provider (scicomm.xyz) is blocking Threads. You can complain to the operator, who can be found on the about page; or move to a Mastodon server that has a different policy (when you move accounts on Mastodon, you keep your followers).

@dannycolin Absolutely.

@simonharper @potus @ivory Threads users have to opt-in to federation on their side, but anyone who has opted-in, yes, it's just like following any Mastodon user.

The fact that you can follow the president of the United States (@potus) from your Mastodon account instead of being forced to have an X or Threads account for it is a huge W in my book. Of course our team is fully available to help if they'd want to set up Mastodon on whitehouse.gov. I believe governments should not rely on 3rd party platforms to connect with their constituents.

@Sempf @WorMP3 @quillmatiq @potus Threads does not expose the original join date of the account, only the date the account opted-in to federation.

@bart I thought Artifact shut down?

Back in Europe.
