They’re gonna need a lot of mods
Fuck all nazi scum
Facebook and its properties have always been a safe haven for them.
Which is why no one should be federated with threads.
Evil only has to win once or twice to succeed. Good has to win every time. In other words, evil will always try to worm its way into new things, and good will always have to yank them out.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
(please don’t prove Lord Darkhelmet right)
Spaceballs reference?
Yup!
Heck yeah. You’re awesome!
Not saying its a good thing they exist, but its a good thing its happening to Meta and not a good instance here.
Likely 4chan has something to do with it lol
Naturaly
They ALWAYS do. Communication exists. Do your part and shut them down and send them information for therapy. It’s hilarious. They are losers and will always be unless they get help. There is no intolerance except for the intolerant racists!
Threads is doing a decent job moderating them. They put warnings if you subscribe to someone known to spread misinformation and they remove posts that break TOS.
Obviously the attention seekers are going to run to every platform. I don’t think it’s fair journalism to say that certain groups are moving to Threads when it’s many groups.
“Men are creating thousands of accounts on Threads. Why are the majority of accounts female? Our data analysis explains here!” Is kind of the same clickbait.
I won’t argue that racists don’t make up a loud percentage of text-based social media, though.
As if we needed one more reason to defederate.
A lot of people are flocking to Threads, so why wouldn’t these groups?
I was hoping they would just enjoy Elon’s twitter but apparently they really need to pollute the common spaces otherwise they get bored

They’ll go anywhere they can get attention I suppose
Yup, Nazis don’t want a circle jerk chamber. They specifically want to get into general public spaces so they can recruit. This is why you often find Nazi shit in the weirdest places (such as the bronies).
It’s why moderation is needed on all social media platforms. It’s also why “we don’t tolerate Nazis” needs to be a general rule. They are a cancer.
That and they want to make public platforms miserable for the people they hate.
That Mythic Quest episode with the Nazis
This reminds me that I’m never gonna understand furfash. Like, here we are in a furpile or watching cartoons or just like, wiggling or some crap and some bellend’s gotta be all, “Hitler is cool actually” and that’s part of their whole 'sona while the whole rest of us are doing a thing that kinda naturally implies a lack of restrictions (on personal physical form, especially!) and having a nice time. What part of any of this fits well with “you have to exist my way” O.o rantrantrant!
Exactly. It’ll happen with any platform that gains traction. I’m even seeing some fringe groups appearing in some niche Lemmy instances, too. People are going to go to wherever other people are.
ONLY until the rest of the users give them the “fuck off you nazi trash” response that they actually deserve.
Hahah, lemme know when they actually do fuck off. Sure, they deserve that response but it’s not gonna get rid of them any more than it has anywhere else on the capitalist web.
.
I believe this is not a feature of Threads itself but of any new social media app or fediverse instance. Nazis are looking for places to spread.
Flocking? They were already there

I’ll never understand the drive to make other people’s lives more miserable. We’re given only so many years in this planet. Why not enjoy your life and let others enjoy theirs. These people seemingly can’t do either of those.
Imagine being such a failure as a human being that they drag others down the hole they’ve stubbornly dug for themselves.
I’m not defending them but have you never had a strong conviction that something is wrong and you will do what you can to fight it?
That’s how these people feel about gay people and so on. I can only assume they grew up around people who felt that way and they don’t see the error of their ways.
People often do it for free, but it is also a business model.
I guess it’s a good coping mechanism to not face your own problems. Also you always have something to do and you feel involved.
“good”
It’s not about that… I don’t know why it’s so hard to understand the psychology here. They feel strongly that something is wrong and want to fight it. That’s it.
Again, not supporting it at all but you should at least understand that they are not so different from us. They just grew up around hate for these things and continue to feel hate for these things.
If they would have grown up in a different environment, I don’t think they would even care about any of this.
Sure there are people who were just socialised into far right ideology, but there are also ones that arrived there later in life. Humans are complex. psychology ist messy and not very well understood. But feeling deeply unhappy and projecting on an out-group, are definitely something they all have in common.
I think it’s much simpler than that. People who feel inadequate look for outside forces to blame.
I do think it gives them a bigger narrative to be a part of. I suspect that’s a big draw too. It’s just a really shit narrative.
Good point. I think one thing modern world (maybe it was always this way) is kind of lacking providing people with meaning. Sure you are free to search and create your own, which is undoubtfully great. But some people need others people stories to make any sense of that mess we call life.
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate…
They carry so much hate inside that it rises up and makes them ugly on the outside. Just look at all of those Neo-Nazis who would never meet the criteria for being Aryan.
I have no clue other than it provides a convenient excuse to justify their obstructionist ideals.
If conservatives had it their way, the U.S. would still be just a British colony.
Why? They’re more than welcome on Twitter now.
They were told they could now freely make threads and misheard.
I’m sure even the most hard core musk loving nazi scum can see the writing on the wall with that site by now.
My theory is even right wingers hate right wing cesspools. Like there is no shortage of far right communities on the internet, but even if you were to be a right leaning person who has no problem with “a little free speech”, you are going to be a “cucked liberal” to someone else. Maybe you are a fiscally conservative hypercapitalist but have no problem with the existence of gay and trans people. Maybe your a terf but still care a lot about abortion rights and access to healthcare. Maybe your extremely religious, but believe it is your duty to help the poor and provide charity for those in need. You are going to clash with someone in the same space as you, and there are going to be fewer protections from harassment and less places where you can feel safe in speaking than if you were on a more mainstream space with actual moderation. In the end the platform is going to be hospitable to only the most extreme of conservatives, and its going to become an echochamber of the same opinions, and the same hate and anger.
Second, most of these accounts and groups have the goal of recruitment in mind. You’re not going to recruit many people in the far right echochamber because your basically preaching to the choir, so instead you go to the platformers where all the “normies” are at. There you can spread prop, pick easy fights and make your side look strong, and convince ordinary people that what you believe isn’t all “that bad”, or that it’s the liberals/trans people/feminists/jews who are the disgusting or unhinged ones.
What you call recruitment, I call conquest.
Trollish Uber MAGAs just aren’t happy with themselves until they’ve gotten a rise out of someone on the Internet.
