Wait. Threads requires an instagram account. How can libsoftiktok be on threads if she is permabanned from IG.

Are you even sure this is true or is this just a rumor that you’re repeating?

Edit: there does appear to be an account called libsoftiktokofficial. Not sure whether it’s really Chaya but it has plenty of anti-trans propaganda

Libsoftiktok started on Twitter. And while she did have an instagram account, it was banned from both instagram and Facebook, while the Twitter account had its shadowban lifted after Musk took over.

Given that Meta is presenting Threads as Twitter, but “sanely run”, and that libsoftiktok has already been permabanned twice, it seems likely that she will also be banned from Threads. Certainly this is a weird point to hang your case for defederating Threads on.

Also if you’re gonna mention genocides that Facebook is complicit with, don’t forget the Rohingya genocide

You cited rule 1, which is

The instance spreads overwhelming amounts of drama, hate or negativity.

And rule 3

The instance allows the harassment or doxxing of others.

So the question is whether the fediverse instance Threads has done the bad actions.

You are arguing for a preemptive defederation based on the actions of the corporate parent having nothing to do with content on the instance in question.

Since libsoftiktok is on Twitter not Facebook, it seems you want to be defederated from Threads based on the actions of not just Meta, but also Musk’s Twitter.

I mean it’s an argument, and many agree with it. Many instances have already defederated threads.net. but it’s certainly not in the rules cited in this post.

How is threads more overwhelmingly negative or tolerant of doxxing than other major platforms? Like what is the basis for your comment?

The hysterics over the as yet purely hypothetical prospect of Facebook/Threads being on the fediverse, along with some worrying signs of censorship, have caused me to to flee lemmy.world. Here’s hoping FMHY will be a better fit for me.
