They seems to really embrace open social media. I have a couple of questions to see what their true intension is. It is assumed that they would federate with fediverse soon (plenty of reports of that already)

1. Would they support 3rd party apps to browse their contents without ads/tracking? I do not mind paying if true
2. If I do not agree with how they moderate/treat users, can I move somewhere else (aka another Threads instance)? Can another Threads instance even be set up independently or they are the only player
3. Would they contribute their improvements on Threads to ActivityPub (after thorough community review of course)?
4. What contributions have they made so far to fediverse?

All I want to see is if they should be considered a member of the fediverse and play by the rules that all other members follow. the answer would make the decision around federation/defederation easy

Edit:typo and added the last paragraph

First of all, a big thank you to @[email protected] and team for building such a good place for us to hang out. You guys rock!

I am interested to see your opinion on the recently launched Threads from meta, specially around possible federation/defederation in the future

Some instance owners are open to federation, some takes wait and see approach, while some will block them outright as seen on https://fedipact.online/

Edit: my bad. I swiped too far. A short swipe worked. Thanks @derelict@[email protected] and others in comments

Just want to confirm before raising an issue on github

Replying to comment was working for me then it stopped working. I tried to swipe as much as I can from right to left, almost reaching my left side of the screen but nothing happened

Same issue whether Swipe Gesture setting was on or off. Swipe to upvote/downvote works
