Do you think Threads (Meta’s Product) will add such a feature that allowed anyone to migrate their account to their own server? I have no belief that they’ll do, but I can only hope, as I love that feature on Fediverse platforms (mastodon comes to mind).

I know that it’s still not perfect as I’ve read on some Mastodon thread by a few users saying it doesn’t migrate a lot of your stuff (posts included), but hopefully threads could help improve this for us Fedi users.

Again, feel free to downvote this because of the Threads TM relation in the title. I know you guys (and gals) hate Meta, me too. :)

    They have been talking about how creators want to own their platform and I could imagine that they don’t mind allowing a few such people to migrate off Threads to facilitate that. In the end what matters to them is that the large audience stays on their platform where they can serve them personalized advertisements.

      yeah, not alot of people enable the fediverse feature on ThreadsTM anyways. I can see what you mean there for personalized Adverts.

        I’m guessing not a lot of users know about it. Their ActivityPub implementation is still only about half done.

        It will be interesting to see of they promote it heavily when it’s more complete.

    The fact that they have any Fedi integration whatsoever is a mystery to me but I’m gonna say no regardless.

      Integration so they can slurp up people’s data. That is their entire business model, slurp up data and sell advertising profiles based on that data.

        All of that data is public. Federating Threads gives them access to zero additional data.

        There’s nothing keeping them from scraping that kind of data now.
