You would rather them lie like Elon musk and say they’ll be ready for commercial production next year?

No it's a nothing announcement, Elon level marketing. Toyota has been talking about breakthroughs in solid state batteries since 2014.

It would make sense if an independent research group looking for funding was releasing these type of statements but for Toyota to be doing this for years is embarrassing.

Web version of Threads already up, Verge shows what a linked post looks like too
www.theverge.com

Instagram’s Twitter competitor, Threads, briefly went live on the web

Less than 3,000 brands and creators are already experimenting with Threads.

Screenshot of dark version I took

Built on FB's backend and they're working on Fediverse integration so Mastodon and other clients can communicate with Threads accounts

Yeah I have a hard time seeing this not be successful. Taking something people already have (IG) and integrating with where people were leaving Twitter and already going effectively squeezes Twitter out. Bluesky's in trouble too. This thing launches tomorrow and Bluesky still ain't sent my key I signed up for months ago lol

zuckerburg doesn't like public facing social media tho. how long before the web interface is nagging users to login or hiding more than X comments behind a login?

I still think the first twitter competitor that implements location search competently will end up being the twitter successor. the killer feature is search in general.

Not sure but since Twitter doesn't do it anymore at this point I'm not sure how much it matters. It only matters if one does it and others don't, if no one's doing it it's normalized

I'd imagine it'll work like IG does now except there's top rated comments and when you scroll past a certain point you'll be asked to create an account. Not perfect but better than the what we have and those that care about that feature could use Mastodon's web client to view messages

Fediverse Report (@fediversereport@mastodon.social)

Attached: 1 image Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, posted a message on #Threads explaining why Meta is committed to adding #ActivityPub support. The reason he lists is the ability to take your social graph to another server. https://www.threads.net/t/CuRtcYTNY3J/

Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) on Threads

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. If you're wondering why this matters, here's a reason: you may...
