You’re just gonna keep responding until you have the last comment, aren’t you?

So then why do you keep replying? That’s where I’m lost. You derailed it to be about you and then you kept on it.
Except my entire point hasn’t been about you, but you made it all about you. My original statement that there is no single source that can prevent threads from joining and interacting with the fediverse and that’s going to affect most people. I’m glad you have the know how to run things yourself but my statement was never about just “you”.
Good for you, but that won’t help majority of the people who don’t know or can’t run their own instance. Also the moment you make a post out to one of those instances that hasn’t defeated, Threads will just hoover your post right up. You’ll isolate yourself, sure, but not your posts or interactions. Welcome to ActivityPub.
Which is probably a lot more than would be expected.
Yes, but to realistically keep Threads from federating and utilizing people’s posts, every single instance owner would have to defederate. 1) that’s not likely, and 2) that’s a unilateral decision by the instance owner. I’m looking at things from a realistic standpoint, not an idealistic one.
To the people in this thread saying “don’t buy lifetime”, how is that any different than a perpetual license? Your alternative is subscription based… I’d definitely prefer perpetual to subscription.
Exactly my point. It’d be on an instance by instance basis, there is no “singular group” that can block them from the entire fediverse.
We have movie theaters here in the US that let you buy and drink alcohol too.
Now let’s say 100,000 people saw that. You just collectively wasted 83h of people’s time. Congrats good sir.
I have my BD/DVD/CD collection backed up to S3 Glacier. It’s incredibly cheap, offsite, and they worry about the infrastructure. The amount of Hard drive and infrastructure space you’ll need to back up nearly that amount will cost you the about the same give or take. Yes it’ll cost a bit in the event of a catastrophic restore, but if I have something happen at the house, at least I have an offsite backup.
