Eugen Rochko's Post

The moderation policy changes at Meta are deeply troubling and should be a concern to anyone with a conscience. While the fediverse is a decentralized platform where different service providers have different moderation policies, at mastodon.social, hate speech is prohibited, and we will take action on any Threads account found violating our policies. I would strongly urge anyone with a Threads account to reconsider their alignment with the new direction at Meta and move to Mastodon instead.

@Gargron I blocked Threads as soon as it arrived. Meta has always been pretty toxic.

@Gargron Or CherryPick or Misskey.

I like Mastodon, but there are other platforms with more options.

Why would somebody want more censorship?

@Gargron Playing individual account moderation whack-a-mole with Threads' much larger userbase is a bad idea and exposes users of this instance to harm. It allows for all sorts of doxxing and dog-piling which individual users from these groups are not emotionally and logistically able to handle. Please reconsider and ban Threads outright. This should not be a "just manage it yourself" situation.

@Gargron Tech-bros are not your friend. Those you share your society are your friends.

EVERYTHING you post and do while connected to Meta will be sold and trained on. EVERY scrap of data.

@Gargron OK, a legitimate question: What is the threshold for Threads accounts being reported until you block and defederate from them?

I'm already seeing some chomping at the bit to start going after marginalized communities again.

@Gargron How anyone can say this, watch behave in the poisonous way it always has, and not advocate blocking altogether mystifies me.

I mean, if Twitter were federated would that also be ok?

How vile do these corporations have to be before we stand up and say that's enough?

@Gargron I wonder how many hate speech posts have to be cross posted before the it’s decided to block the entire service from the server. At some point that could be the rational decision.

@Gargron Your platform banned me, for disagreeing with a trans person. I have no problem with trans people. She was simply illogical. The decision assumed malice. My appeal was ignored. I cannot recommend mastodon.social either.

@Gargron I have a threads account but Its largely been abandoned for the last few months as I take a deep look at what those platforms deliver for their end users. Threads always had a way more corporate feel to it and towards the end of my usage of the platform, began to be filled with more AI Slop as meta desperately looked to keep the platform alive. This aligns with their current plans of AI personas on their platforms which I cannot support.

@Gargron the outcome of the election impressed upon me that way fewer Americans have a conscience than I estimated. We. Are. Fucked.

@Gargron Just do what is obvious: defederate. Threads was a mistake from day one. Now you know 100%. Do it and move on.
