@evan @timbray honestly I don't count Threads as being part of the fediverse any more, since they haven't enabled two-way federation. If/when they do, then (IMHO anyway) they will be part of the fediverse. Flipboard is a different matter, because they do support the fediverse in good faith. But would you say it's a full fediverse app, on the level of Mastodon?
@evan @ricmac @timbray I think a fair litmus test for whether something is a fediverse app would be if, moderation reasons nonewithstanding, you could follow your cosocial.ca account from it and vice versa. This is true for Mastodon, and true for Flipboard, but not currently true for Threads. I don’t think it’s a fallacy to think that.
Scotsmen on Threads also cannot use federation as it is not available in the EU
@laurenshof @Gargron @evan ah, but we in the UK are not part of the EU (sadly).
ah, youre right, UK got access over the summer, I missed that
