Re: Threads testing federation via ActivityPub

Same. They're also not serving host-meta:

curl -vL -H 'Accept: application/xrd+xml'
https://www.threads.net/.well-known/host-meta
curl -vL -H 'Accept: application/json'
https://www.threads.net/.well-known/host-meta

...but afaik that's not strictly required. Maybe they haven't actually
turned the test on yet, or it's only on for a set of test accounts that
doesn't include @zuck, or they're only allowlisting a few specific
fediverse servers' IPs.
