What part of threads could they even argue was stolen from Twitter? It’s an open source protocol plus Instagram logins. You think Facebook needed to hire people to tell them about how to post text on the internet?

Are you referring to ActivityPub? AFAIK, ActivityPub isn't even shipping on day one

I thought it was based on ActivityPub, but with federation disabled for the time being? Not that I really understand these things.
