@[email protected] I've done a full 180 on threads, it should definetely be defederated.

@GossiTheDog Free societies need freedom of expression for both sides of the issues. Even if it means hearing things I do not like, I vouch for a free society over one that only allows for singular opinion.

@GossiTheDog Utterly chilling. The last paragraph makes it even clearer why far-right movements often pay lip-service to religion when convenient. It's simply a fig leaf for their bigoted discrimination.

It’s startling how little awareness there is of how the human brain works across the huge expanse of the debate on social media here.

Right wing obsessives have real mental issues. Those who post frequently with nothing but negativity need to seek help. But they’re the “loudest” voices. 1/2

And their outsize contributions mean they attract people whose brains need that hit of fear and anxiety. This is amygdala 101, people.

Zuckerberg has finally admitted he wants to run a U.K. right wing newspaper, as it were: why bother with good vibes when fear and anger sell? 2/2

I intend to fully defederate Threads.net from Cyberplace.social in two weeks, so 23rd January 2024, unless they clarify their moderation policies.

People are welcome to migrate their account in advance to avoid losing their followers from Threads.

@GossiTheDog

This. Thanks for standing up against the #KiwiFarms🤝#Meta with their moderation policies.

No wonder Sir Nick quit.

@GossiTheDog What's the link where the full text of this screenshot comes from?

I wasn't all for fedi defederating en-mass from Threads with the original #fedipact in lieu of confusing users, but I think this is where the line should be drawn 👍

@GossiTheDog good call. I appreciate that it seemed like a good idea at the time (it's one of the reasons I came to this instance), but it's obviously a toxic relationship to be in now

I have defederated Threads.net from cyberplace.social as prior announced two weeks ago, due to policy enforcement that aligns them hate sites like Kiwi Farms.

I am pro-federation. I only fully suspend 6 instances here, with 4 of those containing child […] https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/113883530436048655
