They’ve also given everyone with an instagram account a Threads account, so they’re going to be over run with fitness gurus and diet tea selling vegans any minute now.
I’ll take that over fascists
Facebook and its properties have always been a safe haven for them.
Which is why no one should be federated with threads.
Fuck all nazi scum
” He went on to instruct his followers to “try and build a big account. I mean, if you get in early, maybe some of you guys can blow up and red pill some people on there.”
Red pill? Did pro-authoritarian, white supremacist, and self-proclaimed incel, Nick Fuentes unironically use “red pill”? lmao What a clown.
I don’t understand why these incels insist on using a Matrix analogy, red-pill just means “truth” and blue-pill means “ignorance”, why do they constantly subvert a basic concept? It’s literally the same with “woke”, it literally just means what it says, “being attuned to what’s going on”. Nothing more, but these idiots literally ruin it, if anything they’re blue-pilled, going by the Matrix
Every single platform has them. From anything centralized to decentralized.
And that’s why we fight them everywhere.
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.

They are not “flocking to Threads”, they were already in Instagram and Facebook. Meta is going to have to pay one day or another for cowering in front of religious countries by allowing homophobia and anti-atheist and anti-freethinker hate-speech in those countries. I had to deal a lot with those and reporting them did nothing, because moderators are sourced locally from those countries, and the laws in those countries are in favor of that kind of hate-speech.
I know exactly what you mean
Well, to be fair, I have managed to get some lunatics removed from some local UK communities on Facebook. Granted, these are UK communities, but still, there were a lot of lunatics at some point during pandemic. All the crap suddenly started posting all kinds of non sense from blatant racism to conspiracy theories.
Try learning some Arabic or Hebrew, moderators for content in those languages are mostly sourced from the MENA region where the notion of hate-speech is quite distorted and homophobia and hate-speech directed towards nonbelievers are considered normal. Reporting hate-speech in those languages almost never leads to removals. This is not just anecdotal, it’s really a thing: https://www.politico.eu/article/facebook-content-moderation-posts-wars-afghanistan-middle-east-arabic/
ONLY until the rest of the users give them the “fuck off you nazi trash” response that they actually deserve.
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.
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 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.
“good”
People often do it for free, but it is also a business model.
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.
