Seriously, what people expected from it?
Ok OP, be honest, what degeneracy did you post?
People holding hands!

That app is completely zucked from the start
Posted on twitter to avoid censorship lol
Twitter censors anyone to the left of Nazi lmao
Sounds like these threads are becoming… unravelled…

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Soon they’ll need to call it strands
Someone call Norman Reedus and his funky fetus for this one
Ironic.

I love that my instance got called “Liberal troll instance” by Lemmygrad
I should have set up on your instance…
You still can. The beauty of the fediverse!
just waiting for the hability to migrate instances
I’ll be the odd one out here and write that I don’t mind not having the ability to migrate. The platform is intended to be pseudo-anonymous. I think one shouldn’t become too attached to their particular name and instead focus on the ideas being discussed and the information exchanged.
For the same reason I hope karma continues to not be a thing and ignored by most clients even if the backend reports it.
youre on lemmy.world right? If not, umm…where do I sign up to swab the decks

Your admin has actually defederated from quite a few instances. Uncensored it is not.

That’s totally fair it just doesn’t really fall under anarchism.
Removed by mod
by that logic isn’t every instance anarchist?
Are you an anarchist? The answer may surprise you.
What does that have to do with anarchism? User created and moderated spaces are perfectly compatible with anarchism, imo.
But Fox News, OAN, CNN, and MSNBC told me anarchy was no rules! I bet you’re just one of those Antifa communist false flag crisis actors paid for by China, George Soros, and Hunter Biden’s leftover crack money /s
Lemmy was born on the 4th of July for many users who created their accounts as part of this big Reddit migration. For freedom on freedom day for many people.
Only Americans though
Non-indigenous Americans that is
sorry dog but nah
Literally 1984
Hopefully it’s just Russia propaganda being censored.
More likely they green light those…
Eh probably since Facebook is nothing but boomer right wing trash. Only a matter of time.
Twitter is worse but I’m sure the bot farms will migrate.
right wing trash
What the hell does this means?
Exactly what it means. Right wing trash.
Could we really be stupid enough to ever let Meta or Facebook back in our lives. We literally just left one hugely greedy CEO and now people are really thinking another one, who has already proved himself an asshole, is going to be different?
Yeah I just really can’t fathom the Meta apologists right now. If that’s the only way to bring a massive number of people to the fediverse I think I’d prefer we stay small.
Just like Reddit when it started! Build it and they will come! I don’t need instant gratification…I need a rock solid community built on freedom from shareholder bootlicking.
I don’t really understand it. People left Facebook because the way they shifted the platform became less relevant to the younger audiences on it. And then it effectively died.
Now Meta (literally Facebook rebranded because of how much they fucked up) is creating threads and people just forgot what Facebook did?
Are people even thinking in the long term what’s going to happen, like what’s happened to reddit, Twitter and Facebook? Does nobody take a step back and take a minute to figure out what’s inevitably going to happen again? It’s bonkers to me.
It starts with the user base complaining about a platform going to shit, doing nothing about it in the meantime, and when a “viable” replacement pops up it’s another privatized company that wholly plans to do the same exact thing that just happened to the one that’s dying.
People’s attention spans are 24 hours long.
People left Facebook and joined Twitter because it’s a pared down version of Facebook with less fluff. Now Threads is a pared down Twitter with less bullshit and fluff (and is actually usable). The fact that Meta made Threads is only relevant because it gives Threads a legitimacy to the average end user that Mastodon doesn’t. People weren’t leaving Facebook because Meta owned it, so there’s no reason for them to care that Meta runs Threads. If Elon didn’t buy Twitter and turn it into a shitshow, Threads would have been DOA.
This is just ragebait, without knowing what they posted it’s useless information.
Knowing Meta could be anything
Meta has a history of not moderating content actually…
Depends on the language used. English is barely moderated, many others issue bans left and right for no reason.
If they’re using the same algorithm for Facebook and Threads, then yes. The Hungarian far-right managed to teach ots Hungarian algorithm to censor speech critical of them many times, then it had to be quietly reset.
I got caught trying to think of how the Hungarian algorithm from the maths world was being used by the far right. I can picture them pouring over a diagram shouting ‘not enough lines!’
don’t care meta is shit and so is censorship on day 1
You don’t think they should remove illegal content if it was posted day 1?
We don’t know what the content was so getting angry about it is silly.
I agree. This random fear mongering is getting quite childish.
Peak example of outrage culture
dont care meta is shit
American entities love censoring opinions they don’t like. It’s why Lemmy is so great. Parts of the fediverse are likely to exist completely externally to the US corporate “”“community standards”“” which seem primarily to entice other corporate entities to advertise with them.
that’s people in general. i’ve seen plenty posts here calling to ban ‘bad’ opinions or defederate instances that allow them.
Saw a mod on lemmy.ml delete almost every anti communist post on a thread yesterday. Was extremely disappointed.
Something that is important to keep in mind is that Reddit had a mod problem and it wasn’t created by spez, it’s created by some people not being able to have power without abusing it. We must not assume that, since this is a new platform, that there won’t ever be mod problems here.
Personally, I’d like to see infrastructure for evaluating mods publically. Somewhere you can see a list of their actions after the fact so that people can see for themselves if a mod is acting in good faith. And then, based on that, it can be determined if the admins are acting in good faith by which mods they keep and which they remove. It would also make increasing the number of mods less risky because the problematic ones can be noticed and removed quicker.
i’ve lived through the fall of USSR so i consider modern communists incredibly naive but i wouldn’t try denying them their freedom to express themselves.
as opposed to people who run around calling everyone they disagree with nazis just so that nobody would dare argue against them.
Arguably the fediverse is as free as it can possibly get without forcing other people to listen to you.
The boundary of the limit of expressing your opinion is directly determined by other people’s willingness to listen. No CEO. No company policy. Just you and the community of users who are willing to listen. The standard is set by users.
The more you push it, the more extreme your contact becomes, the smaller the community gets, until it’s just you imposing those views on no one but yourself.
