Will they extend this to Instagram? Until then (and even after) I'd be suspicious of their intentions. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Instagram is moving towards being a TikTok competitor so it doesn't make much sense.

Either way their intentions are pretty easy to understand.

ActivityPub integration keeps regulators off their back and allows external content to appear on Threads which they can then monetise alongside ads.
