Wonderful! After a few years of people relying on it, they can jack up the prices.

Twitter, Reddit… probably plenty more, too

They’ll probably pull the rug one way or another. Maybe they won’t because users could then move from Threads to a Mastodon instance that supports their favorite app and still keep in touch with all the people they follow.

It’s unidirectional and opt-in

Supposedly. Supposedly they also weren’t going to ignore the standard and do their own thing but I guess this disproves that.

Having own client API doesn’t affect ActivityPub compatibility.

Lemmy has its own API. Does this prove their ignorance of the standard too?
