Follow me on Threads

so, nothing has changed.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 2 points 1 day ago

(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.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 101 points 4 days ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 24 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 10 points 4 days ago

They aren't saying with their mouths, but they seem to be fine with it padding their wallets.

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.

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.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I feel like with Facebook it's more of a YouTube situation where they don't care as long as it makes them money and no major regulator raises their eyebrows. Which is despicable, don't get me wrong, but Twitter is not just doing that, it is actively endorsing these mfs

Meta admitted to tolerating election influencing, it doesnt matter in which direction, because it means they can be bought.

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

You have to go old school, bookmark their profile in a browser

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

Yeah I do this frequently. Then I randomly go back to people's profiles and often find interesting communities and threads that way.

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago

It clearly following, I don’t know what you’re talking about

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

You can subscribe to their profile RSS feed, if you are into RSS.

Threads is the same or worse. I just deleted my account.

Good luck.

yawn. wake me up when he joins a social media site not owned by a corp.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

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.

You clearly don't know anything about Stephen King's politics and social positions.

[–] hakase@lemm.ee 11 points 4 days ago

Apparently neither does he.

I thought he was into horror?

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't blame him, reality is scarier than fiction.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I don't think he expected to witness Greg Stillson for real.

Have you visited Threads? It’s pretty horrific.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 23 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Leaving a corpo-propaganda place, join another corpo-propaganda place. So close, King, so close.

[–] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 9 points 4 days ago

Just like the chest piece, King just moved one square.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

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.

[–] ProIsh@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

Now it's too toxic? I love SK but come on. Supported that site for too long.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 days ago

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

TECTONIC SHIFT

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

We have the Nazi bar owned by the Nazi who proudly put the Nazi flag outside and kicks anybody out who insults Nazis, but where a lot of non-Nazis still hang out because it was the busiest, best place before the Nazis took over: Twitter.

We have the soulless corporate bar run by a guy who installed cameras everywhere in the bar, in every booth, every bathroom stall, where every 5 minutes the music is interrupted by an ad, and where the exit door shut has been welded shut: Threads.

We have bar started by the guy who initially owned the Nazi bar, but who has since been kicked out, that has recently accepted a major funding round from TESCREAL fascists, but where the vibe, so far, is pretty chill, where they promise that eventually you'll be able to wander to nearby bars that all share the same menu, but where that promise is always some vague time in the future: Bluesky.

We have the series of no-name pubs that don't show up on any maps, some run out of people's houses, some even run from studio apartments, some run out of mental institutions, where you can leave any time you want and take your friends with you, where it's a bit of a free-for-all, and if you want a round of drinks you have to chase down the busy publican and ask what's available, and where you might be asked for help pouring drinks: Mastodon.

It's great to see that years after the Nazis took over, some people are finally choosing to stop going to the Nazi bar. It makes you wonder why they stayed so long though. But, I'm not as impressed with where they're choosing to go instead.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 10 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The "sudden" realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I've seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.

The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that's always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.

If you think these people are allies, you're giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.

"I tried hanging out with the Nazis, but they're just too toxic"

Honestly.. 🙄🙄🙄

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

I’m done, fuck everything, fuck everyone

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

It’s remarkable that Musk is so horrible that he managed to make Zuckerberg look good by comparison.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

He's going over to Threads, which is only a slight improvement.
