Are you honestly shocked? They’re trying to get in while Threads is overwhelmed by new signups. Hopefully Meta will do the right thing and kick them off but they probably won’t.
The big corps have always had a right wing bias. The corps bend over backwards to cator to these asshats while shitting all over the left.
There’s a reason this stuff thrives on places like Facebook and will continue to do so. They also want a platform that has the widest reach.
It’s why they want to be in the big sites instead of making their own because they want the rest of us to see their nonsense. There may not end up being a big hate presence on fedi stuff because any right wing instances will be broadly blacklisted either by the instances or by the users.
Businesses love right wingers because they are more active, and engaged, than left wingers. They tend not to run adblock, and click and buy shit from ads. So the average right winger brings in more money than the average left winger.
They also tend to get babied because the left will see someone break the rules and get punished and be all “Yeah, he deserved that”, but if a right winger gets held accountable, The entire flock goes full rabid and loses their shit with threats of violence, threats of bombings, protests, employee harassment, etc etc.
Yeah, they tend to be angry and dumb. The best kind of rubes.
Broadly and quickly! The message rapidly goes out and in a matter of hours, if not minutes, the instance is defederated.

You speak as if they care about politics; they don’t have a bias that exists outside the realm of publicity.
Their “politics” is based on maximizing revenue.
That’s the world we live in, and framing them as political enemies who “side with the right” isn’t constructive - it completely misses the entirety of the dynamic that we live in, and if you miss that, good luck getting anywhere.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think it’s much simpler than that. People who feel inadequate look for outside forces to blame.
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.
“good”
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…
Every single platform has them. From anything centralized to decentralized.
And that’s why we fight them everywhere.
Sort of. On the fediverse I saw that they are mostly just defederated, because the insults and stuff they can hurl far surpasses anything that someone on twitter/facebook/etc can say.
Please ignore the exploding heads behind the curtains
Just called my mom to tell her to stay away. Can’t risk her being caught up with it.
Facebook and its properties have always been a safe haven for them.
Which is why no one should be federated with threads.
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.
Naturaly
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!
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.
They’re already whining about being banned though, so that’s something at least.
Fuck all nazi scum

As if we needed one more reason to defederate.
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.
