lemonflavoured, There will be bad actors of all descriptions on all platforms. The key is how effectively they are dealt with. We'll see on that.
wagesj45, They flock everywhere that will have them. There are definitely far-right shitstains on every platform, even this one. They're like a gas and expand to take up whatever volume they're in, or in this case, that doesn't ban them. Simply "flocking" to a platform isn't really an indictment.
Now where they stay, that's a different matter.
EmperorHenry, When Stinky Elon took over twitter, I kept hearing everyone complain about all the bigots on there. But I haven't seen any bigots on there. Why? Because I'm not following any of them and I've never gone looking for them
skymtf, They existed far before elon, libs of tiktok was put on a do not take action list by the former admin. Secondly the algrithum ensured I always knew hate accounts existed.
TwilightVulpine, Good for you but don't take that for granted. People who just happen to have a little bit of a following and openly exist as minorities in social media regularly get bigots coming out of the woodworks to harass them.
ArugulaZ, Mark III Zuckerborg truly is the Uncle Ruckus of Jews.
gentleman, @MiscreantMouse This is why I’m of the opinion that defederating from anything that smacks of Meta or Threads should be done immediately. Zsuck supports Russian bots, Alt-right Insurrectionists and hate speech and has done so since 2015, in other words, longer than Elon. Should be walled off and removed like a cancerous tumor. In my view, that should include any instance that signed an NDA with them.
I saw a survey of instances that indicated many are taking a “wait and see” approach, which is mystifying. What do people think they are find that they don’t already know about Meta?
Stormy404, ah, great /s
anyways fuck whoever federates with threads
Kolanaki, Title could easily be changed to “Facebook and Instagram users move to Threads” and it would mean the same thing.
Black_Gulaman, Its not sensational though.
melroy, Maybe I should block Threads on my instance...? Let's see how this goes..
sj_zero, I have no reason to trust the latest “new platform is evil satan” article having seen exactly how fraudulent they are.
You’re on one of the new satanic platforms right now, by the way.
albinanigans, hail Satan
EmperorHenry, I don't think any religion is real, but you have the right to free speech. Carry on!
albinanigans, shut it
mrecom, Welp.
gk99, Literally why
They already have Truth Social and Twitter.
HarkMahlberg, They're crusaders. They're never content with what they have. There has to be some land to conquer, some people to oppress. If there isn't, they'll just look inward and find one.
Ludo, They want to spread their hate and recruit dumb teenagers to their little cult like militias. They can’t do that in their echo chambers. Plus a lot of them are just plain assholes who like to antagonize people.
ozen, there aren't minorities in those places for them to attack, which is what they want to do
spriteblood, Facebook is also a big gathering place for white supremacists, anti-LGBT, and other conservative extremists. It's largely where the US Capitol insurrection was organized. Meta is no stranger to fascism.
ArugulaZ, Hitler already had Germany. Why'd he want the Czech Republic and Poland?
fearout, My level of surprise concerning threads hasn’t changed after reading this :)
goryramsy, In other news, idiots exist everywhere. The interesting part will come when meta/threads responds to this.
00, I would be surprised if they respond any different than before, i.e. almost none.
skellener, Of course they are.
