"To test a state-of-the-art laser communication system, NASA did what anyone would do — it sent a high-definition cat video 31 million kilometers (19 million miles) through space.

The goal is to make it easy to set up local instances of most fediverse servers, which can all federate with each other, with minimal necessary configuration. This includes your own software, running on your local machine."

"As Threads rolls out federation capabilities and tests out Fediverse compatibility, people are getting worked up over what's next."
