"One of Meta’s top executives showed employees a preview of the company’s upcoming Twitter competitor during a companywide meeting today" via https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23754304/instagram-meta-twitter-competitor-threads-activitypub
The photo shows what seems to be a fake conversation with @tonyg with the full @mastodon.social handle visible in two places.

Ok that seams nuts. Never thought this would happen as it would mean that people would delete Facebook accounts and basically move to mastodon or such. But I bet it's only between Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp. Like you could message people on Instagram and WhatsApp from Facebook and Visa versa and not actually follow people on mastodon.
