I don’t know that they crippled anything. I still regularly see posts from a few users. The problem is that they just half-assed it. It’s unidirectional. So you can see and reply to their posts but they can’t do anything back. They can’t follow you or reply to anything. It’s also opt-in, and almost no one cared enough to do that.
Comment on Blocking Threads

It doesn’t matter, Threads has crippled their ActivityPub implementation so badly that I’ve never once seen a post from a threads user. Meta gave up on the idea, effectively.

That is definitely it, they made it technically possible to say they are competitive and not a trust, and then sabotaged it so it’s actually not workable. As our regulators and courts are captured that obvious slight of hand is enough of an excuse for the authorities to pretend to believe them.

From their perspective: not enough users to be worth the bother.

Why federate when you can just scrape and avoid the controversy
