Oh, that's interesting; I had no idea. I'll go to my Threads profile and check it. I'll edit this comment later informing whether there really is that option.
Edit: The only option I was able to find was "Suggesting posts on other apps," and when I clicked on it I only had two options: Instagram and Facebook – none of which are part of the Fediverse. I wasn't able to find anything on 'Meta's Accounts Center' either.
I didn't know that website, thank you! However, my instance has chosen not to defederate from Threads – according to the source you cited. So, I'm not entirely sure why this is happening.
Congratulations, good Samaritan. Do you want a cookie for your efforts? I just hadn’t specifically thought about cigarettes, which I clearly pointed out in my original comment. If you've noticed, good for you. I hadn’t. But spare me the condescension.
I'll check it out! Thank you <3
Oh lord... That's true. I never thought of that. And then we have studies like these. Do you have testicles? Well... You have microplastics in them.
No, I didn't. Why the animosity? Do you perhaps go around looking at cigarette butts thinking "Oh... those have the potential to become plastic waste?"
Oh, do you know what else? Paint. Apparently, a lot of studies didn't account for microplastics that came from several types of paint that end up in the environment. Scary stuff.
That's crazy! I didn't even realize they had plastic in them. Makes you wonder how many inconspicuous everyday items have the potential to become plastic waste.
That's totally okay. Thank you!
Maybe! Either way, thank you for taking your time to comment :)
Right. That's fair. Thank you!
That's totally okay! You didn't address my specific issue; but I didn't know that there were instances across the Fediverse that chose to defederate from Threads. I think that, in a way, you've partly answered my question. Thank you for taking your time to answer.
