Wasn't federated, or was federated?

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago

I understood the meaning. I was clarifying the point OP was trying to make because I 100% disagree with it as worded.

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.
