Looks like Threads is inhospitable to journalists posting real time information about major international news stories.

@w7voa @mattblaze I’m sorry, were you expecting to be a “town square”?

@mjgardner @w7voa Being smugly snide at people who use social media you personally dislike is not a great look.

@mattblaze @w7voa I like Threads (I’m @mjgardner) but I have no illusions about it

phl,

@mjgardner @w7voa @mattblaze I bet a lot of people (the same type who fawned over Bluesky the moment it appeared) did, though.

@phl @mjgardner @w7voa Bluesky has much less scolding and prissy rules policing, however.

@w7voa Wow, that's so wrongheaded I don't even know where to start. Wonder if that's an automated bot or an actual human.

@w7voa Coincidentally, I was at a screening the other day of Anna: Mother Russia, a forthcoming biopic about murdered Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya. It features the (at least superficially) similar Dubrovka theatre attack, in which Politkovskaya played a role in negotiations.

@mattblaze @w7voa hoping its a bot and they are taking a very aggressive approach by default since its easier to add exceptions rather than cover every possible bad actor? seems like they really missed the mark in testing though if that's the case.

also...why am i giving fbook the benefit of the doubt 🤦

@mattblaze @w7voa Bot. Definitely a bot picking up ISIS.

Not sure how that makes it any better.

I’d be more concerned if a human being said that violated their content policies. Not algorithms can be refined and adjusted. And hopefully, this one will.

Neverthess, I was specifically answering the question @mattblaze posed.

@w7voa quelle surprise.

The only viable option is defederation.

nilsskirnir,

@w7voa Meta's pro ISIS now?

@w7voa Well, I guess THAT answers THAT question.

jdp23,

@osma per our discussion yesterday, Threads policies (especially combined with bad algorithmic moderation) ray does create an opportunity for alternatives!

@w7voa
Even if they didn't continuously demonstrate this, no serious journalistic enterprise should allow a third party to control their voice or brand. This, far more than what consumers do, is the core benefit of federation.

@w7voa Yes, they say as much.

Why would anyone join any product from META in this day and age after all we know about how evil they are.

@w7voa

this will be an awesome policy from growing the number of independent servers hosted by news orgs when they fully federate, if they don't defederate from those servers for violating their local rules which is what their current federation policy seems to imply. just part of the learning process I hope.

@w7voa Meta has stated that they don't want their sheeple's minds all discombobulated with news.

Bam,
@Bam@sfba.social avatar

@noondlyt @w7voa

Don’t think it’s that. It looks like a bot mod picking up ISIS without context.

@cjpaloma@mas.to avatar

@Bam @noondlyt @w7voa ….and that was... a choice…made by asshole techbros…so…uh, that makes it worse, not better, but do go on replying with this inanely mediocre comment, Bam boy.

@cjpaloma

What a lovely, thoughtful response to a rather innocuous comment indicating that something was likely not done based on a specific policy application. You can find somewhere else to grind that rather big ax on that giant chip on your shoulder.

Buh-bye. 👋

@noondlyt @w7voa

ralf,

@w7voa threads is inhospitable.
