      This thread is kind of wild. Do all of y’all understand that it’s more the blatant endorsement and promotion of literal Nazis that is driving people off Twitter? It ain’t the corporatization. We might not like that but to pretend like it’s the same thing is fucking insane.

        We must have different experiences with facebook, because I see nazi rhetoric just as often there. It may not be as blatantly supported, but they certainly do nothing to keep it off of the platform.

          But is the nazi rhetoric on facebook coming from the owners?

            Facebook spread disinformation from a junta that caused a genocide and the Zuck did nothing to stop that disinformation stream. He’s almost as bad as a Nazi.

            It is intentionally amplified by the owners because that makes them money. We have more than enough knowledge to say that with confidence thanks to the empirical data and ex-employees.

          Right? People seems to forgot there’s mass exodus off facebook due to this exact issue and they still have this issue as of now, and also the protest against federating with Thread not too long ago.

          Zuckerberg zucks Trump’s choad as much as Elon behind the scenes. It’s kinda worse in a way.

        Facebook and its sister sites have been a hotbed of unmoderated nazi content for longer than some of the people in this thread have been alive.

      (To play devils advocate, not because I endorse anything Mark Zuckerfuck makes) Threads does support activity pub, and you dont have to follow him on threads.

    I’m leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

    • I wish I could delete my Threads account, but I can’t delete what doesn’t exist. And I think I deleted my Twitter account before Musk bought it, but I honestly can’t remember since I haven’t used it many years.

      You’re mixing up your problem with Twitter and normal humans’ problem with Twitter, get out of your echo chamber a bit, it might help.

          Normal people don’t mind the billionaires as long as they’re not intentionally pushing fascist content. They want a product that they don’t need to understand to be able to use.

          Regular people don’t care about billionaires or their data or decentralization, the only reason they care about Musk in particular is the fact that he openly supports and finances a fascist, as long as Graber doesn’t do the same, people won’t give a crap about what he does with BlueSky just like they don’t give a crap about using other platforms like Instagram even though Zuckerberg is a moron.

    I like King, but like everyone leaving the boat since a couple of days, it’s too little too late. Plus, leaving a babyllionaire’s toy for another babyllionaire’s toy is probably not the brightest idea.

      He’s a multimillionaire who spent an entire decade or more so coked out and drunk that he doesn’t even remember writing Cujo. Don’t set your expectations so high.

      Idk, Zuck doesn’t seem to suck up to Trump quite as much, so there’s that. He still does, but he’s just a bit more of a “behind closed doors” kind of person.

    So, he took his sweet time to leave the nazi bar and, of all places, he moves to the bar already on its way of becoming another nazi bar.

    Ok

    Boom! Mic drop! Stephen King EVISCERATES loser Elon in this EPIC post on X Formerly Known As Twitter!

    [gif of that person clapping, you should know which one, everyone posted it endlessly every time Chrissy Teigen or those Krassenstein fucks threw some meaningless shade] hats off to this brave hashtag Resister for doing something that everyone should have fucking done three years ago at the very latest

    Not to say people shouldn’t leave Twitter, but like…this isn’t going to devastate him. He’s in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.

    He’s going to Threads??? They have finally launched the metaverse and no one has told me anything??? I don’t see any other rational reason to do something like that.
