Thanks, [@darnell](https://threads.net/@darnell/). We did discuss a quiz actually (cc: [@pcottle](https://threads.net/@pcottle/) who had this idea) but it's not clear how that would work exactly. We'll mull this over a bit and see if there's any give there as it ties in with certain privacy obligations we have.

Hey so I don't think we have this wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern
We're.tring to be open with people here which I think is the opposite of being deceptive 🙂

We're committed to making this very transparent with users and our research shows that most people have very little understanding that if their posts end up on another server, they could be reposted or modified and they could suffer from harassment without the level of control we promise to people on Threads.

Well a few things 🙂 A dark pattern would be if we _didn't_ keep explaining what happens to people's data when they federate and their data is shared across the internet where we can't promise deletion, retention, usage, etc.

Hey sorry, I'm not seeing the dark pattern here. Can you explain a bit further?

Hey [@beaware.live](https://threads.net/@beaware.live/), we don't have an allowlist, just a blocklist, so there's nothing special you need to do here for a new instance 🙂
