The point I’m trying to make is some people don’t want risk getting raided by the fbi just to give people free games

Then give me your money /s

This is a great (free) illustrated book about logical fallacies:

It’s more like $500

I think the u/Kes put it really well. People on fediverse platforms are already staunchly opposed to big tech so they have no reason to leave for platform made by Meta of all people.

My point is that a contributor to open source software can contribute just to help people because they don’t have to worry about legal repercussions.

If they really wanted to they could already do that by setting up an instance and not publicly announcing it.

I personally believe that Meta never intended Threads to be support Activitypub and just chose it so they could do the bare minimum to comply with the EU digital markets act.

Honestly this is why the whole “Meta will kill the fediverse” thing people were saying never really convinced me. They just don’t seem to care, I mean it’s been a month and they still have no real plans to actually federate.

Mods and open source software are not illegal.

Once again, why would they share their cracks if its for personal use?

Yeah but why take that risk? They don’t really gain anything.

I think it’s more likely that there are others who don’t publicly share their cracks because they doesn’t want legal trouble/attention.

They are both built on the ActivityPub protocol which allows them to connect with each other.

If all instagram users counted they would have 2 billion users. I dislike Meta as much as the next guy but let’s not pretend threads isn’t ridiculously popular.

Accessing threads from mastodon is significantly more private than downloading the official app.

Yeah but I believe people have to pay her and she’s kind of unstable too.

It’s not a puff piece, it’s an interview that clearly prefaced his comments with background info about Denuvos performance impact. You can disagree with it (I do) without discrediting the article. Also, as far as I know Denuvo games have always been slower to crack.

Looks like I’m in the one percent boys.
