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.
They carry so much hate inside that it rises up and makes them ugly on the outside. Just look at all of those Neo-Nazis who would never meet the criteria for being Aryan.
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate…
People often do it for free, but it is also a business model.
I have no clue other than it provides a convenient excuse to justify their obstructionist ideals.
If conservatives had it their way, the U.S. would still be just a British colony.
Imagine being such a failure as a human being that they drag others down the hole they’ve stubbornly dug for themselves.
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
This is the answer: they were already there to begin with
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/
That’s been my experience as well. Reporting them does nothing, but if you call them out on their BS, Facebook suspends you.
As long as hate drives engagement, this will never change.
A lot of people are flocking to Threads, so why wouldn’t these groups?
I was hoping they would just enjoy Elon’s twitter but apparently they really need to pollute the common spaces otherwise they get bored

Exactly. It’ll happen with any platform that gains traction. I’m even seeing some fringe groups appearing in some niche Lemmy instances, too. People are going to go to wherever other people are.
As if we needed one more reason to defederate.
” 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
Red pill/blue pill was written as an analogy to the experience of trans people, as well. The ignorance with how they’ve co-opted the concept runs quite deep.
Facebook and its properties have always been a safe haven for them.
Which is why no one should be federated with threads.
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.
(please don’t prove Lord Darkhelmet right)
Fuck all nazi scum
They ALWAYS do. Communication exists. Do your part and shut them down and send them information for therapy. It’s hilarious. They are losers and will always be unless they get help. There is no intolerance except for the intolerant racists!
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.
Flocking? They were already there
Just called my mom to tell her to stay away. Can’t risk her being caught up with it.
Threads is doing a decent job moderating them. They put warnings if you subscribe to someone known to spread misinformation and they remove posts that break TOS.
Obviously the attention seekers are going to run to every platform. I don’t think it’s fair journalism to say that certain groups are moving to Threads when it’s many groups.
“Men are creating thousands of accounts on Threads. Why are the majority of accounts female? Our data analysis explains here!” Is kind of the same clickbait.
I won’t argue that racists don’t make up a loud percentage of text-based social media, though.
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
