What Meta’s Fediverse Plans Mean for Threads Users (www.wired.com)

Meta is treading carefully, doing a phased implementation while continuing conversations with Fediverse leaders. This will give the company more time to iron out some of the integration kinks. “Do we adapt the protocol to be able to support this?” Lambert asks. “Or do we try to do some kind of interesting, unique implementation?” For example, Threads supports audio posts, a feature not currently supported within ActivityPub, so Meta is experimenting with “federating” a text transcription of the original post instead of the audio version.

It was never a good idea federating with Threads

How is audio different from other media types (e.g. images, videos, etc) that it isn’t / couldn’t be supported by activity pub?

I don't know. Mastodon already supports audio posts, how does that federate? Why can't Threads do the same thing?

Pretty sure it's not. Wired is just talking about the wrong thing. Currently threads voice posts federate fine.
