The moderation policy changes at Meta are deeply troubling and should be a concern to anyone with a conscience. While the fediverse is a decentralized platform where different service providers have different moderation policies, at mastodon.social, hate speech is prohibited, and we will take action on any Threads account found violating our policies. I would strongly urge anyone with a Threads account to reconsider their alignment with the new direction at Meta and move to Mastodon instead.
@Gargron the clue is "anyone with a conscience." That leaves out the tech industry, Republicans, and evangelicals
@tasket @rrb @Gargron It was largely defensible to federate with Threads when the problem was just that it was corporate and undermoderated - provided you could do your own moderation of them.
It's not defensible to federate with naziverse instances - that is, instances which explicitly allow and encourage hate speech. With the new policy announcement, including a how-to tutorial on transphobic hate, Threads has clearly become the latter.
@dalias @tasket @Gargron With Zuckerberg, it became obvious to me that he is a prostitute when they found an advertising target group labeled "jew haters." He builds a business on selling access to people that want to kill him and his family.

@dalias @tasket @Gargron i agree, and you get my point.
There are things sex workers will not do for money, many of them have self awareness, and I dare say most of them can foresee dangerous situations arising from their business decisions.
Any oligarch in the USA pandering to an emergent dictator clearly lacks all of the above. At least one will be walking out of a window in the next few years.
@dalias @tasket @rrb @Gargron "Threads has clearly become the latter." Well, not instantly, but chances do seem high that it will over time.
Before this I was in favor of the instance I chose (mindly.social) federating with Threads. I follow a number of people there, and would have considered changing instances to continue to be able to follow those Threads users. Now, maybe I would just let those users go if mindly.social defederates with Threads, and hope some of those I followed moved to Mastodon or at least Bluesky (with bridging enabled) after Threads becomes more like X.
