Threads has begun testing federation over ActivityPub. And they have blocked two important servers I administrate. The first server is the Mostr Bridge. The Mostr Bridge connects ActivityPub and Nostr together, so people can communicate across protocols. The second server is Spinster.xyz, which is arguably the largest independent feminist community online.

    Nope.

    But a quick google search shows:

    Instagram has become a hub for young neo-Nazis to recruit young people to far-right groups, a report from an anti-racism group has warned.

    Nick Lowles, Hope Not Hate’s chief executive, said: “Though we continue to warn about niche platforms like Telegram, a fertile recruitment ground for young neo-Nazis has been Instagram – its inadequate moderation and worrying algorithm recommendations are child protection issues that demand urgent action from the platform.”

    Meta is Meta, I expect them to act like Meta and they do not disappoint.

      Yes, of course it has Neo-Nazis, because it has hundreds of millions of people and essentially every niche community has representation there. The doesn’t mean it’s remotely accurate to say that Instagram is “only Nazis and pedos”.

      The most followed user is Kim Kardashian, if I remember right, and she’s targeting the most normie women possible. Nazis and pedos aren’t exactly good for advertising.

      This isn’t to say that Instagram doesn’t have moderation issues, but that isn’t contradictory to the fact that Instagram is not solely composed of those kinds of users.

        Oh get off it, as if you’ve never seen hyperbole before in your life.

          It’s either hyperbole or you can double down.

          Instead you look like a clown.
