Threads Federating...
You might downvote this, go ahead, I know you hate proprietary goods, but just listen.
Is anyone excited to see that Threads is soon to federate with us on to the fediverse? I know I am, and this is becuase I can communicate with my family from Lemmy or Mastodon as I mainly use these two platforms. I am also not saying that Threads is good, its a bad platform in terms of privacy, and Meta is notoriously shitty in terms of user data collection. I'm making this post because I was just wondering if there is someone out there like me who likes the move what Meta is doing with Threads in federating with us. We just got to be aware and be cautious and get ready because we might "spam" Threads.
I'm also not trying to get on the wrong foot, I'm just in love with Free Software, and seeing Lemmy here and discovering the Fediverse is so amazing to me. I love it already and am going to stay on it for most of my online journey.
Thoughts?

[The judge] voided Gilgeous-Alexander's purchase of the home and awarded the basketball player damages for mortgage and insurance payments he's had to pay since starting the lawsuit.

SGA is suing to undo purchase of $8.4M mansion after alleged 'threatening visit' from man seeking Ontario's Crypto King
The original was posted on /r/nba by /u/youguanbumen on 2023-11-02 22:08:32.
A couple of days after Canadian professional basketball player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander moved into his $8.4 million lakefront mansion this spring, he allegedly received a threatening visit from a stranger demanding the whereabouts of Ontario's self-proclaimed Crypto King: Aiden Pleterski.
Pleterski, 24, had previously been leasing to own the Burlington, Ont., property for about $45,000 a month — until his cryptocurrency and foreign exchange investment operation unravelled last year as investors came looking for the more than $40 million they'd given him.
Gilgeous-Alexander claims he'd never heard of Pleterski before the man showed up at his door.

U.S. Justice Department sues SpaceX for discriminatory hiring practices
The lawsuit cited a June 2020 post on X, formerly known as Twitter, by Musk to his then 36 million followers that said: "U.S. law requires at least a green card to be hired at SpaceX, as rockets are advanced weapons technology."
The Justice Department also pointed to online posts from the company's billionaire owner Musk as example of "discriminatory public statements."
There aren't a lot of details.
The DoJ release is "Justice Department Sues SpaceX for Discriminating Against Asylees and Refugees in Hiring".
