Seriously. What would be surprising is if they were not. Proprietary System gonna Proprietary System.
Just tried it - so simple, so good. Thanks for posting about this!
Many old cnn videos are on youtube. You may have luck searching the headline from the CNN page on youtube, especially if it’s one of those with no article or just a few lines telling you what to expect in the video.
Only 90GB.
What a time to be alive.
Anyone else remember when MS bought github and a LOT of folks were saying this is where we’d see that they have changed and won’t fuck things up this time because Nadella is so much cooler than Balmer? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Wow, I thought for sure this was BS, but just tried it and got the same response as OP and you. Interesting.
My fingers didn’t type what my brain was thinking, sorry. I can see how that makes no sense.
I spent just a few minutes with it and I like it a lot. I swear it’s more responsive than actual trello! :D
You’ve missed out on some lively debate then.
Edit: In response to my very comment.
I thought you were actually curious. We can agree to disagree.
The usual argument against pre-emptive defederation goes something like, “Well we should wait to see what kind of influence they will be on the fediverse.”

We know what kind of influence they will be. They will be the most anti-consumer, exploitative influence the law will allow, and probably a little bit more than that, because it’s been their entire history, and every few days we get another headline confirming that it’s who they are.
And while there is a lot they can do even if many instances refuse to federate with them, there’s no good argument for going along willingly, IMO.
Link this next time someone is complaining how unfair it is to refuse to federate with Threads.
This is from 2020. You absolutely can use Little Snitch or a similar firewall to block this traffic.
We agree how sinister and dystopian it is to need to work against your hardware/os vendor for something like this though, right?
Shutup 10 exists, but that doesn’t make it OK that Windows users have to continuously be on guard for MS to try snooping on them, either.
.world is federating with Threads
I have servers on Digital Ocean and Linode and also one in my basement, and have had no problem. I do have all services behind NPM (not to suggest it’s a panacea) and use HTTPS/SSH for everything. (not to suggest HTTPS/SSH are either) My use case could be different than yours - my immediate family are my only consumers - but have been running the same services in those locations for a few years now without issue.
