      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.
