Turns out that Threads posts, while we can see them here in the fediverse, can’t see any of our replies to them.

Mark Asser reshared this.

@Alisdair Calder McGregor @Adam I guess, being charitable, we can follow news accounts or what have you.

sell threads to us without the risk that they'll decide to move to the fedi

@Sarah Brown is this based on what they announced, or did you actually check?

I had half an idea to check, but that involved

a) interacting with a post coming from threads
b) enabling javascript from the threads server

and that's was more than I was willing to do 😁

so, to recap,

  • the smartest people with accounts on threads (it's a bit of a contradiction)
  • from just 3 countries
  • that do opt in in their settings

can be followed by us, without reading our replies

i'm not impressed, i'll think about when some personal old uncle will succeed to find me the other way around

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' based on what they announced. However, if you go and look on the source website (you don’t need a threads account to do so), there are no replies showing from outside Threads.
