@Theraviranjankr That ststement is no more true than its opposite. There is no such thibg as an absolute position, so you cant assert this either way.

@freemo signing up just to compare is okay, but I'm not signing up to #threads
because the entire point of federation is so that you don't need a separate account everywhere. (Once they actually enable federation)
As for the commotion it seems weird and a lack of understanding what federation means.
Like what does it matter if you are using a small/your own email server if Gmail joins the email system.
They aren't going to start sending you spam (that would get them blocked).
But it does mean you can now send messages to and from people you know on that system, with no down sides.
Having the #Freedom for each person to choose if they want an ad free small server, or a big player that might have a slicker interface/search (but has adverts), while still being able to communicate with each other is a good thing.

I never would have heard about Threads if it werent for the fediverse... which I find ironic because I signed up to it just to keep an eye, something i wouldnt have done if it wasnt for the anti-threads commotion going on over here.

@TruthSandwich if a barrel is less than 16 inches it cant have a butt stock which you use to stabilize the gun when you aim.

Important follow-up question:
What distinguishes a well-regulated instance moderation policy from a woke kangaroo court?
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION
… but if, as instance moderator, your primary goal is to "be nice to each other", where being nice to each other refers only to the mods' own in-group, it's an emergent phenomenon.

@freemo Suppressors are like the one firearms related thing that’s less regulated in most of Europe compared to the USA. I love shooting my .22LR pistol suppressed, you almost only hear the action working and a little “puff”. For my long range bolt gun I prefer a muzzle brake (and double hearing protection) to minimize recoil.
Honestly while there are plenty reasons to be concerned with what #Threads might do the biggest immediate concern for me personally is just if they are going to spam ads at me by having bot accounts that push spam to me in my mentions.... that would be a nightmare!
Digging this Fraktur capitals exemplar... I think ill practice it with some high-sheen ink :)

Keeping playing with it and sooner or later you'll invent the light bulb.
The first light bulb filaments were carbon. I'm sure they did exactly what you did and thought, "Gee, that lit up the whole room. If we could only keep it going."
Thus the vacuum bulb to keep oxygen from burning it up.

@freemo , I just spent an enjoyable 15 mins reading Stargate quotes. Thanks!
Just a reminder, the Democrats, who have largely exclusively pushed for gun laws, have given us the following mess:
Guns must cause ear damage -- devices which lower the sound to just below the threshold of causing ear damage are illegal.
Guns with barrels less than 16" must be designed in a way that they are extra hard to aim, making it a much higher risk that you will shoot someone accidentally... Only guns longer than 16" can be easy to aim.
Yet somehow people are baffled when I say the democrats have largely done more harm to the topic of gun control than good... every time they propose or pass a law it is complete nonsensical, largely because they dont even bother to under the very thing they want to legislate.

@freemo Get your hands on a hipot tester. Can make black ink on paper sparkle.
I love running 40V across 0.5mm pencil lead and watching it evaporate into gas in a flash of blinding white light :)
