- Hosts Libs of Tiktok, who, among other things, led a harrasment campaign on children’s hospitals, based on a completely made up rumour of said hospitals providing genital surgery for minors.
- Hosts Moms for Liberty, which is a neo-nazi organization that has quoted Hitler (with attribution) in their promotional material, and made fun of a moment of silence for a Holocaust memorial.
If your point is that Meta is no worse than Twitter or whatever other corporate media, then whatever, I’m not really interested in discussions about whether it’s better to come down with plague or leprosy. They all suck.
If your point is that Threads itself isn’t technically compilicit in anything yet after being up for 10 days, then I think that’s pretty naive.
Libs of Tiktok was on Instagram and already is on Threads, along with the rest of the usual suspects: https://kolektiva.social/@ophiocephalic/110667668701596654 They have already started their shtick of quoting random people to direct their followers to harrass the target.
