minus-squareSwagGaribaldi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·1 year agoI probably wouldn’t use an instance if it wasn’t federated to Threads
minus-squareTrarmp@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoSame. I’m glad the ‘default’ instances are federated, since I want to follow a bunch of folks on threads. And I’m glad that I dont have to give up my personal info to zuck to do that.
minus-squareProgrammingSocks@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoWasn’t federated, or was federated?
minus-squareNeato@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI’ve always got to invert the double negatives to parse crap like this: I probably would use an instance if it was federated to Threads. Not exactly the same meaning, but it gets you on the right side of the negatives.
minus-squareSwagGaribaldi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoYup, that’s what I meant, but like you said, it doesn’t carry the exact same meaning if I wrote it like that
minus-squareProgrammingSocks@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoI understood the meaning. I was clarifying the point OP was trying to make because I 100% disagree with it as worded.
minus-squareh14h@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoBest way to address this is to reword a bit: I probably would not use avoid using an instance that wasn’t federated to Threads Using “not” twice in a single sentence is generally something worth avoiding IMO.
