I will probably be harassed for this but I feel like I need to act.
The recent debate and decision by world to federate with threads seems to have sparked massive pro meta propaganda. Some accounts post completely one sided articles nearly every day, using carefully crafted language to shape meta as the „facilitator“ of the fediverse and some beligerent benevolent god. You dont have to scroll far in this community to find the posts I‘m talking about.
Please consider reporting these posts for the propaganda they are and asking your admins to defederate from threads.net.
To show you why meta is not welcome in the fediverse, here is a quote from the fedipact which is the reason I have defederated threads in my own instance.
THEIR LONG TRACK RECORD OF PURE EVIL
i’m just gonna paste some links here because there’s no point in paraphrasing what others have already said more eloquently
(if you’re wondering why i’m using archive.org it’s to break the fucking paywalls on these articles because fuck that, information wants to be free)
that time they helped facilitate a genocide
that time they helped try to rig an election
that time they did creepy behavioral experimentation on their users
so, yeah. there’s legiterally shitloads of precedent here. not to mention all the privacy concerns. which brings us to the need many feel to protect ourselves from this insidious megacorp…
Against one thing meta-shills often try to ascribe: we dont have a problem with the people on there but it is literally everything else.

Thank you very much for reading and have a nice day.

Nope. I‘m entitled to my opinion without providing proof. But good luck with that attitude.
I’m absolutely for defeterating threads. But if you make a claim and treat it as fact and are trying to convince people of an idea the burden of proof is on you. Otherwise your argument sounds extremely disingenuous and entitled
Listen, I have asked a question and I provided a post of a person who recently picked up pro meta posts in different stages of disguise in the comments.
I‘m just not letting anyone talk to me this way. No need for you to send me to school, I know how this works. But I decide if I want to cooperate with someone. this person was rude and I brushed them off.
If you disagree and dont see an increase of pro meta (or as it now is „ambiguous“) posts, please say so and ask for clarification in a constructive manner and I will happily oblige.
Have a good one.
