So, Instagram has started pushing threads into users’ feed, and every now and then we get a glimpse into the unmoderated crapshoot that is that app…

L.E.: should be noted I do not have a threads account, have never even downloaded the app, this is sorta like “advertising” to try to convince you to move to their platform.

    I’m honestly surprised and shocked that Nazism is rising up again. It is a scary idea that, that ideology is growing bit by bit.

    Have people not learnt about and from the past?

      It’s kind of a cycle with capitalism. There’s no real way to control it other than to get rid of capitalism altogether.

        yes! historically, the only way we have ever defeated fascism so far was with socialism.

        i hate that people are watching nazism grow and are still timid about actually embracing the fight against it.

          I think it was deperessed but thats it. Look at East Germany, where it came in full swing after the fall of the iron curtain.

    Advertising threads in this way is also super annoying. Meta mashes so much shit into instagram’s timeline that there’s barely any timeline left. 1 post I care about at the top to get me interested, the rest is a preview for threads, ads and suggested posts.

    This product is so fucking user hostile and I can’t understand how so many people are still actively using it.

      They spend a lot of research effort to figure out how much crap they can get away with. But yeah, it’s depressing that they can do this and people will still use the app. Unfortunately, pandering to the lowest common denominator seems to be the only successful business model in the social media space.

    I wonder how many people actually are nazis and how many are edgy teenagers trying to piss off people online. Surely the number of true shitbags can’t be this high.
