Can you please give us a straight answer regarding blocking threads.net? If you don't intend to do so, there are those of us who want to know so that we can leave.

Has anyone heard any comments from them on this? Reconsidering my choice of instance unless they block threads.

Misleading title. Not incorrect, but it is based on what the source of income is, it is not about how rich you are relative to the rest of the population. The title makes it sound like if you make a certain amount of money, your tax rate is lowered. Alternatively, it sounds like the richest Dutch are evading 12% worth of taxes. But neither of these are true statements AFAIK, and either way they aren't made in the article, so the title is misleading.

Edit: Changed "the top 1%" to "the richest Dutch".

The second Win 10 stops receiving security updates, it's Linux for me.

Oh, I'm not blaming you at all, I'm just commenting on the article

I considered it before I switched from 7 to 10, but since 10 still makes it possible to create an offline account and disable most of the spyware and other bloat, I opted to stay with Windows for another generation of OS. 11 is different though, it's several steps too far into proprietary hell.

Maybe a word which likens it to how water flows in a river? How about rivering?

I'm inclined to agree with this. Jones doesn't seem like someone trying to sell a bunch of crazy conspiracy theories which he doesn't believe himself. He seems like he's just genuinely batshit crazy.

I've been dipping my toes into it over the years, I'm just not ready to make it my daily driver quite yet

Fair point, albeit a different one from the one I was making.

Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.

Got my first Reddit account in 2012 (which unfortunately was hacked in 2020 and got shut down). So I have used Reddit for 11 years at this point. I have been sick of the direction Reddit is going for a while, and when I realized Lemmy had started seeing some traffic I thought it was time to give this place a shot. So far Lemmy feels a bit like Reddit used to, which isn't a bad thing.

Thanks for the update. Can you update us on whether or not you are planning to block threads.net?
