BAN FUCKING NAZIS

it's such a low godddamn bar to clear

and yet, by and large, the fediverse is the only major social media platform that actually manages to do this (the decent sections of it, at least)

why? well, here's the big secret: BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PROFIT

big companies allow nazis to fester on their services because it makes them money, and here we're not beholden to such a corrupting influence. that's kinda the entire point

i think the most annoying thing about this whole discourse is that people refuse to judge threads by the standard of any other fedi instance

like if a mastodon instance got set up and federated right now and it allowed the shit threads allowed it'd be widely defederated IMMEDIATELY

there are accounts literally CALLING FOR THE DEATHS OF QUEER PEOPLE on there right fucking now

the only reason people are even willing to give them a chance is because it's a big corpo, but that should only be reason to give them less of one lmao. especially considering meta's history in particular

don't let them lower the bar for moderation standards here

I try to not use my title too much but in response to Zuck's recent speech:

As Queen of the Fediverse I officially declare Threads EXILED from our land

You are not welcome here, get the fuck out

no, yeah, meta's REALLY goin mask-off with the whole fascism thing now

Meta is adding Mr. White, a longtime friend of President-elect Donald J. Trump, to the social media company’s leadership amid a series of moves to strengthen its ties to the incoming administration. Last week, the company shook up the top of its policy team, appointing a longtime executive known for his Republican ties as head of global policy. Meta has also donated $1 million to Mr. Trump’s inaugural fund.

Move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our US content review to Texas. This will help remove the concern that biased employees are overly censoring content.

THREADS IS A MODERATION NIGHTMARE

at the end of the day the whole thing with The Pact blocking meta, for me at least, comes down to one fact: they are absolutely NOT going to moderate their shit properly

setting aside all the genocide and behavioral experimentation and election rigging, why would you give them special privileges just because they're some big tech giant? why should we trust them? they've given us absolutely no reason to and every reason to not. their crimes (see below) and unwillingness to do adequate moderation are well-documented

if they were any other instance they'd be defederated immediately for the shit they've aided and abbetted in and allowed to exist on their platform. fuck em

WHY BLOCK META?

tl;dr

1. they won't moderate effectively, there is precedent with facebook being a toxic cesspit of hate

2. they have a long track record of pure evil and we have no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt

3. to protect the existing communities of marginalized people on the fediverse, many of whom rely on it to survive
