Is facebook/threads actually connected yet?
I know a lot of orgs are gravitating toward blue skies (where you can pay extra to get your own domain name?) but this is 100% what I would hope basically every major org is planning on.
Why put yourself at the mercy of a billionaire abuser with a pregnancy fetish? Just host your own server and let everyone else connect to you. Pay for ads on whatever instances/interfaces benefit you, but there is absolutely zero reason to allow ANYONE else to control or host your hot arby's memes and the like.
And, if threads does enable the connection? This is actually what people have claimed they wanted for years. Post to one "service" and it appears everywhere. Because it doesn't matter if mas.to or mastodon.social connect to facebook. They'll connect to you and you can connect to both. Instant coverage without needing to use fancy multi-post systems.
iirc they haven't connected to anything yet, and nobody is actually quite sure what it'll look like when they do. A few instances have defederated from threads already, but they're totally just guessing because nobody actually knows what url they should be defederating from.
threads.net is the domain. You can get a head start and block any IP addresses associated with it using the firewall of your choice.
When you say, "a few", I'll note that at last mention it was 60% prefer defederation of threads.
