I'm out of the loop. Are we federating with Threads or not?

EDIT: The answer is no, we are not federating with Threads. Thank you. That's the answer I was hoping for.

Pirate Bay is not representative of the pirating scene, it only has the "tip of the iceberg" most popular stuff, and even then missing a lot of it. For a better view, check BTDigg... but even that is missing data from all the private trackers where more dedicated people are keeping the more obscure stuff, not to mention the not-torrent networks, which is where most of the scene is. Then you have private datahoarders who keep their stash off-line, but can make a copy available if you ask nicely.

We are talking about the average pirate though. Which would use Pirate Bay.

What is "the average pirate"? Someone who goes to places like this, with tons of file sharing resources listed on the sidebar?

TPB is only a tiny slice of what's listed for everyone to find.
