Threads is already banned in Europe and won’t withstand the scrutiny of Federation. Too many bigots. I’m certain Zuck doesn’t care either way. The thing is set up as an advertising medium for the GOP. Same old Cambridge Analytica scheme repeating.
The Zuck had been a bigger threat to democracy than Russia until Russia’s failed Ukraine invasion. As long as he’s making more money, it’s all okay.
banned or not yet released?
Banned until further notice. Zuck would have to gut the main function of Threads before it will be allowed over there. https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/threads-no-eu-launch/
Please report this thread for not talking about potatoes
What is a potato?
A type of bean
Why is everybody on these platforms “4 something” now? Politics isn’t football, you don’t pick your team and have to let everyone know about it.
Everything is political. To assume otherwise if naive at best.
If you’re a racist/white nationalist you do in coded language.
I am now 4 being a sloth, working hard is overrated.
I dunno, they have to climb all the way down to the ground once a week to poop. That sounds like a lot of effort.
If I were a sloth, I’d just hang from a branch and let fly.
They are basically corporate accounts that are payed to be bigots online. You are looking at literal astroturf and asking why it doesn’t feel like grass.
I am only on a platform “for something” if that “something” is AOC. Purely for professional reason.
No lie, her Amongus Twitch streams were pretty lit.
After over 3 decades of voting, across 3 countries, even having held beliefs all the way from what I though was “communism” (when I was little more than a kid) through neoliberalism and finally settling down to a sort of social democracy (shaped by and subservient to my principles) and having even been involved in a supposedly thinking leftwing party around here I would stay that mindless tribalism is exactly what almost the entirety of politics is nowadays.
The whole “building your on political beliefs starting from your core principles upwards, and always keeping them in mind” thing is very unusually: normally (even in that supposedly “thinking” people party) it’s all about choosing sides, growing an emotional bond with your side and then just blindly waving the team’s flag and unskeptically take in and parrot whatever your side’s celebrities says as if they’re unchallangeable truths delivered down all the way from the gods.
In fact I’m pretty pissed from discovering that most people in even that party of supposedly thinking people are little more than clubist political parrots. It does however explain why so many measures people parrot as the right thing to do are actually one-sided and in practice not anchored in the principles we’re told they’re suppose to promote, sometime even de facto going against them: when people are unskeptical unthinking fans of the team, they’re really easy to lead by the nose by womever captures the leadership positions on that team, an sometimes said leaders aren’t even purposefully manipulative, they’re just nowere as bright as their small-pond celebrity status makes them think and generally have ridiculously narrow life experience and hence don’t really know much about how the World works outside their tiny tiny bubble.
Politics isn’t football, you don’t pick your team and have to let everyone know about it.
It’s a preservation strategy for failed ideologies.
Mainstream parties, which are pretty much ideology-free (or as their top people often call it: “pragmatic”) also relly heavilly on clubism, so I think cultivating fans not partners it’s a much more widespread strategy than merely only for the “standardized political slogan packs” which are ideologies (failed or otherwise).
In a place with first past the post voting, two parties will dominate and then it does become a sports game.
Two player games are fundamentally different than three or more player games, in terms of which strategies are optimal to win.
All the well spoken amoral greedy fuckers know exactly where to go to maximize their personal upsides from those “skills” in a system where power alternates between only two political parties.
Power Duopolies created through mathematical rigging of representative allocation systems are better than outright One Party systems but not by much and certainly not Democratic or in any way close to representative of the entire interests and beliefs of millions of human beings.
I’ve actually lived in countries with FPTP and with Proportional Vote and the way the latter countries are managed is vastly better than the former and even public discourse a lot more produtive.
Ranked Choice.
Or STAR
Or fucking anything better than what we have now.

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s speech people want to see, and that doesn’t prevent you from being asked to leave a private venue, be it a home, a business or even a digital social media platform. It only means you can’t be legally prosecuted by the government for expressing your hateful views
Looks like its just the Zucc’s edition of Musk’s Twitter.
There’s a zero percent chance I’m going to install and use Threads, but from screenshots, it looks like Twitter with Instagram’s design language, which is an unimaginably vile combination.
Yep.
Is it possible for a lawsuit to somehow ruin both the plaintiff and defendant? Or whatever they are called in civil matters.
Or is it possible for it to go all the way to the supreme court and somehow result in the dissolution of the supreme court?
I think it’s plaintiff and respondent
Musk doesn’t have a good track record of paying bills for Twitter, I wonder if he will even pay the lawyers 🤔
We’re this close to conservatives referring to trans people like ((this)).
Nazis have always been the most progressive, referring to Jewish people as the gender neutral (((them))).
I thought they went beyond that when they started calling for the “eradication” of trans people and suggesting they should face firing squads.
No way
I looked at the second one. The closest it gets to being able to back up the claim is link to a deleted tweet. If there’s a tweet you want to report on, capture it in the internet archive or something. Always make a certifiable copy of incriminating evidence if possible.
It was caught on archive.org:
Original tweet suggesting firing squads: https://web.archive.org/web/20220326002200/https://twitter.com/RobertFoster4MS/status/1507183998967160833
Bonus reference to fascist helicopter ride meme: https://web.archive.org/web/20220326233334/https://twitter.com/RobertFoster4MS/status/1507687089726541825
Threat to “deal with them directly” (the Godless communists in control, allegedly): https://web.archive.org/web/20220326233302/https://twitter.com/RobertFoster4MS/status/1507378309386182658
Boom, those archive links are exactly the kind of evidence that works.
Fuck that guy. All I can say is, hey at least he didn’t get re-elected.
Honestly apps like Threads and Twitter should just be a containment site for these types of people. Let them be…
If threads scoops up all the people who turned twitter and reddit into celebrity gossip meme ghettos and keeps them in the shallow end of the pool then everybody wins
Stealing meme ghettos. Thanks.
I won’t call em ghettos, those are concentration camps in which everyone slowly gasing themselves with toxic culture just like what shown in 4chan
Factory farms where everyone is being fattened up in cages on a slurry of hate and memes.
Zuck is going to make it real friendly so it’s gonna be nice and safe for advertisers
so goddamn exhausting
Well…as long as those types are happy with that shit, it means they won’t come to the fed.
Well, they do intend to federate…
They’re already on the fediverse. Tens of thousands of people on thousands of servers saying things that make libsoftiktok and gaysagainstgrooming look like woke hippies.
The thing is, unlike big tech which wants you to see things that piss you off because it drives engagement and will actively put you in that situation, for the most part people tend to stick together in groups. You’ll get the odd troll looking for a thrill, but overall there isn’t an algorithm doing the Jerry Springer thing so other than a cheap thrill there’s no point to it.
Algorithms end up being really sneaky in that regard.
I have locked this post because of comments deviating from the main topic.
This looks like a play store preview image, probably because of the names and correct spelling. I don’t know why it would be official, nnah
spoiler
prob because that would be accurate according to the comments down here lol
Maybe we’ll finally be cool enough to get banned - Klanned Karenhood
Oh, you could have been that cool already. Just do as Ijeoma Oluo did.
-
Provoke the racists. They will come flooding into your inbox with death threats.
-
Report the messages to Meta so they can say, “doesn’t violate our community standards.”
-
Screenshot the messages and Meta’s enabling response, and post them publicly on your Facebook page to show how seriously Meta takes right-wing death threats and hate speech.
Done. Banned “for posting hate speech.” You could have been cool all along, Klanned Karenhood. You just have to go after the right people.
I’ve reported some fucked up shit yet somehow it never violates their standards.
Same on Twitter. Back pre-Elron I was suspended for the stupidest crap: I said I thought Trump would be too old to run for office next year, as he lived an unhealthy lifestyle. That was “wishing harm or violence”, like, what? I didn’t voice an opinion about whether I was all happy about that or something, just simply made that statement. Then someone was joking about the Will Smith thing and something about Kid Rock and I said Hillary Clinton should be the one to slap Kid Rock. That was also horribly violent of me. I appealed and they said NO, YOu are VERY BAD, SORRY. What a waste of time. It’s offensive, too. Meanwhile I’ve reported things like people saying vile racist insults and literally saying they want someone to die, and I get the reply that sorry, they reviewed it and the comment was fine. I’m sure the process is even worse now.
The thing is that liberals feel the need to obsess over “fairness.”
If you really ban hate speech from a place, then it will appear to mostly be inhabited by more left leaning people. The vast majority of hate speech comes from the right.
But at forms WANT those right WI gers to drive engagement, so they don’t enforce their TOS on open racism so long as it’s a conservative doing it. But if you’re on the left and repost it to criticize it you get dinged.
It’s bullshit that shows how many companies are run by fascists who don’t bother hiding it anymore. But the liberals eat it up because it wouldn’t be “fair” to ban conservatives “for their conservative views.”
They also have no interest in removing spam and scams. Every time I log in to check in on family that doesn’t believe any form of contact exists outside of Facebook, I end up reporting at least 3 posts in the five minute period that I’m there for being spam/scam posts in groups

ROFLMAO some people say it’s sad.
What’s sad is that people even noticed it.
Clusterfuck is happening!
In my country all the influencers are announcing the same things using the same template. I wonder if it’s a subsidized or monetized shill.
