do you need to join a thread after the .detach() method call to destroy the thread instance?

a thread instance can be destroy at anytime.
the .join() method is about waiting for the Thread to end its work... ( synchronous )
Once you .detach() a thread ( asynchronous ) , this thread is out of the main Thread and can last without main Thread instance.

but why does it wait for the thread? if it gets detached shouldn't it be on its own process?a thread instance can be destroy at anytime.
