I probably wouldn’t use an instance if it wasn’t federated to Threads
Wasn’t federated, or was federated?

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.

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.
