        I’ve always got to invert the double negatives to parse crap like this:

        I probably would use an instance if it was federated to Threads.

        Not exactly the same meaning, but it gets you on the right side of the negatives.

          Yup, that’s what I meant, but like you said, it doesn’t carry the exact same meaning if I wrote it like that

          Best way to address this is to reword a bit:

          I probably would not use avoid using an instance that wasn’t federated to Threads

          Using “not” twice in a single sentence is generally something worth avoiding IMO.

      Same. I’m glad the ‘default’ instances are federated, since I want to follow a bunch of folks on threads. And I’m glad that I dont have to give up my personal info to zuck to do that.
