No, it isn't. But there is a self hosted Foss version of it (headscale) that the developers actively support.

It's not a trick at all. They want personal users to use it on the chance they then introduce it to work.

They are a very positive company that supports the FOSS community. It is a great product.

Absolutely love it and looking forward to helping communities grow. I only go back to reddit to check on /r/Ukraine

so awesome. Thanks so much, this makes the possibility of having to change instance much less of a burden. 5*

It has made me feel like I am going to be giving up on most of the world.

When the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter came out the world was still learning about privacy, and the companies took it away in baby steps. People were already using it and addicted, so I can understand why they didn't give it up.

This, however, is a new service by fucking Zuckerberg. I honestly think you have got to have something deeply wrong with your cognitive functions to sign up for a new service from that man.

For me, it concerns me that I am going to have to go out of my way to find instances that defederate from it, which is going to be a pain in the ass.

Can't wait to play with this. Thanks a lot.

My problem is, I don't fully understand how to defederate from it.

For example, if I subscribe to a community on an instance that isn't defederate from Threads, and I post there, am I handing my data to Threads. I don't understand where the line is at which my data is protected from Threads.

That is a serious problem for me that would make me stop using the fediverse.

I only use private trackers other than tigole releases that aren't available as BHD release.

Comfy enough to use for sleeping?

Yes, but taking a screenshot is not even close to being the same as scraping my data.
