  It doesn’t. They don’t need to scrape the entire internet, just ActivityPub.

    That’s the thing, though, you can’t just quote-unquote “scrape activity pub.”

    You have to pick every single instance. Believe it or not, not all data is just on every single instance. It’s usually cached by users connecting with different instances.

      Right and if FB wanted to do that it would be well within their capabilities, wouldn’t it?

      When does the Threads federation begin? I’ve not yet seen a single message from a Threads user so I imagine this hasn’t yet started.

        Apparently there are a handful. Notably Mosseri.

      Then what’s the problem?

        That we are federating with Threads and are going to put our information directly into their servers.
