I'm not a fan of thread links.

How long before the web site requires me to register an account to view content? IMHO.

1. I'm not sure what you mean by "thread links"

But to answer your question, we will never have a policy which requires people to register to view content. (Caveat: Sometimes, during very busy periods when the servers are overloaded, we are forced to restrict access to registered members only, or to Star Members only in extreme circumstances. This is always temporary, and only happens when the site will crash if we don't do it.)

2. It must be a site like YouTube or other wanting age verification, or

hacker-proofing, say when someone in your vicinity (IP address) has been spamming due to malware. Just my guess.

3. Maybe he is talking about the Twitter alternative called Threads?

4. Yes, some content is "members only"

People send me links to FB pages that are not public.

Oh well.

5. Threads, Facebook & Instagram are all part of META

Is a separate signin required for each? I've never really gone on instagram or Threads so I don't know.

6. Can't say. I avoid them all.

But the techie in me says that they should share login credentials.
