Working with the Threads API reminds me of how frustrating it was to work with Facebook’s main app API years ago, and any silo API that requires manual approval like the App Store. The bureaucracy is at odds with Meta’s claim of supporting the open web and fediverse.
Charles Johnson I really disliked working with Facebook’s API. They kept changing things in breaking ways, for no reason.

Manton Reece @pratik Automatic cross-posting to Threads from your blog, very similar to our support for other existing platforms.
Manton Reece @pratik Not in the initial release. Right now I'm not sure how much more I want to invest in Threads beyond the basics, but we'll see.
Mark Stoneman @manton The language of Mosseri's announcement wasn't encouraging either. https://www.threads.net/@mark.stoneman/post/C8YveNqO7mc/?xmt=AQGzd_M1FacFs7XJEXjVl_L4DMemXnvIYMw4OpARVG9F1g
Manton Reece @markstoneman Yeah, I never expected a full API because they don't want to give up ad revenue by letting third-party apps have control over the app experience. But I'm just generally disappointed that they haven't done more.
R Scott Jones oh man, it'd be really great to be able to see replies here! I just want to let my friends on threads see what I post and comment back. Don't make us have to check in on the threads app to see if someone has left a comment 🤮
