It could prove to be an important move from Meta.
  1. On my Threads profile, I changed my featured link to be my Mastodon profile URL.
  2. Then, on my Mastodon profile, I changed one of the featured links to be my Threads profile URL.
  3. After I saved that change, my Mastodon profile showed a green verification checkmark next to my Threads profile URL. Success!

    This isn’t connecting to ActivityPub any more than putting “rel=‘me’” in the head of an old Blogger blog is.

    I guess the real question is this is “why?”. If they’re truly planning on federating, this is the equivalent of having your mastodon.social account show up as “verified” on your mastodon.world alt account.
