@2b442032 @66087130 @b74ff7b8 yeah, I get that aspect of it. But they're close to federating, and the main reason it's been delayed has been due to realizations of some of the trust & safety challenges, which it feels like (hopefully) they're taking seriously. 

 @fc3ee9ea @66087130 @b74ff7b8 I'm in the "seeing is believing" camp on federation. Like, is Threads federated yet? Is tumblr? 

 @2b442032 @66087130 @b74ff7b8 yup. i have no problem with those who are skeptical. that's completely understandable.
