Meta reveals new Threads’ feature allowing more ‘fediverse’ sharing

Meta (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg diclosed earlier on Tuesday that, “Starting today, people using Threads in 100+ countries can turn on sharing to the fediverse.” Meta elaborated with a blog entry out earlier, that said in part: ” A The fediverse is a global social network of interconnected servers that allows people to communicate across different platforms. Threads is Meta’s first app built to be compatible with the fediverse to help people join public conversations and find their community, no matter what server they use…So what does that mean? The fediverse allows you to communicate across different servers – imagine posting on Threads and having people see your post on Tumblr or Flipboard. A helpful analogy is e-mail. If you use Yahoo and your friend uses Gmail, you’re able to send emails to each other because both providers conform to the same protocol. Unlike email, your fediverse conversations and profile are public and can be shared across servers. Right now, most social networks don’t work that way. People on Reddit (RDDT) can’t follow people on Pinterest (PINS), for example….The fediverse changes that, enabling people to follow one another and communicate across different servers.” Other companies in the social media space also include Snap (SNAP) and X, formerly Twitter (TWTR).
