Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.

EDIT:

"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @[email protected].””

“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.

“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

      Can you send it to @curiosityLynx or curiosityLynx on Reddit (haven’t deleted it yet because I want to make sure to edit my comments as subreddits go public again)? kbin doesn’t have private messages yet.

        Kbin does have private messages. Click on your profile icon/name and you should see “Messages” in the drop down menu.

          I should have edited my comment. What doesn’t work yet is sending a private message to someone on another instance.

            Gotcha! I thought something was up with that. I noticed it seemed to not work either. Good catch.

            I wasn’t sure if you knew about messages or not because I’ve seen a lot of people miss features already. Even took me some to e to find a few lol
