Isn't that exactly the strawman the maintainer got tired of?

Do you believe C isn't crap when it comes to security? Please explain why and I'll happily debate you.

C is crap for anything where security matters. I'll happily take that debate with anyone who thinks differently.

Sorry, I forgot to make it clear that the point was that your "maybe in the future..." is already the same as how it works now. No difference.

This is how the protocol works.

1. You only get content from those you follow (in your home feed).

2. Your server's local feed will contain all posts made by users on your server.

3. Your server's global feed will contain all posts from users someone on your server follows.

Note how #3 isn't actually a global feed. Spin up your own server at home and it will be the same as your home feed when you're the only users.

Even if you federate with Threads, there's simply no way for them to "inject ads" into any of these feeds.

You don't get posts from accounts you don't follow. My server's global feed only includes posts from accounts people on my server follow.

Just claiming "it will" is not a counter argument. That's not how the protocol works.

I follow many Threads accounts.

/literally one more than no one

No, not bold. You don't get posts from accounts you don't follow.

Creating ads as if they are from a person would get Threads instabanned in the EU.

Ads don't federate.

I pay 25EUR for a family subscription. Unlimited queries. Also means the risk of family members downloading malware (through paid ad results) is a lot lower.
