yeah I'm not holding my breath haha I was not expecting it to be on ActivityPub so was surprised to read that rumor, I guess we'll find out tomorrow. I wouldn't be shocked at all if they are very restricted or defederate basically everyone else

Apparently it won't be federating with other ActivityPub instances right away, but planned for shortly post-launch

I went to go see if there was any new info and just saw that as well, kind of encouraging to see it confirmed they will work with mastodon though
