I'm struggling to think of a reason that Meta is implementing ActivityPub protocol in Threads. There are a couple of possible reasons:
What I can't figure out is how they intend to make money while allowing external instances access to the content? After all, any client could be used to strip out ads. It just doesn't feel like it benefits Meta.
It leaves me a bit worried that they intend to divert the protocol in some way.
Seems like they're just trying to get their fingers in the pie, it's what they always do regardless of whether they know it will work or not.
