Moderator David Imel, Co-Host of the Waveform Podcast, quizzes Peter Cottle, Software Engineer at Threads, about where the Meta platform is in fully federating.

This clip was part of Imel’s “Fediverse Corner” conversation at the Fediverse House at SXSW 2025, recorded on March 9, 2025.

We apologize for the sound quality of this recording. It was filmed under subpar conditions in Austin. However, we loved the conversation so much, we wanted to be sure to publish choice clips that contained meaningful insights. Thank you for bearing with us.
