Threads is entering the fediverse.
Thefediverseis a decentralized collection of websites that can communicate with each other.
It sounds complicated, but it’s actually a very simple idea.

That’s the idea behind the fediverse.
Meta began toying withActivityPubintegration late last year.
We knew that Threads would gain fediverse sharing, but we didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
Meta also states that content deleted from Threads may not be deleted from the Fediverse at large.
In any case, Threads' fediverse-sharing feature is still in beta.
Threads will give you an explanation of the fediverse before asking you to opt in.
You’re allowed to leave fediverse sharing disabled, of course.
Now that Threads has joined the fediverse, other social media platforms may choose to follow in its footsteps.
This is an industry trend that would have continued trending without Threads.
