i think the most annoying thing about this whole discourse is that people refuse to judge threads by the standard of any other fedi instance
like if a mastodon instance got set up and federated right now and it allowed the shit threads allowed it'd be widely defederated IMMEDIATELY
there are accounts literally CALLING FOR THE DEATH OF QUEER PEOPLE on there right fucking now
the only reason people are even willing to give them a chance is because it's a big corpo, but that should only be reason to give them less of one lmao. especially considering meta's history in particular
don't let them lower the bar for moderation standards here
⚠️ MOVED TO FediPact@cyberpunk.lol ⚠️
•like... why should we want anything to do with an instance that willingly allows GaysAgainstGroomers and LibsOfTikTok to exist on their platform? these are the kinds of hate speech accounts that get queer people killed every single goddamn day
that's basically like federating with fucking gab but with a few extra steps

•nobody i've seen trying to criticize fedipact in depth seems to actually like understand the point of it lmao
they think it's all about data scraping or opposition to meta on principle or just being gatekeepy or something
some of what they bring up are valid concerns, but far from my main one. my biggest concern here is entirely practical: allowing threads onto fedi will bring about a torrent of hate
the reason i started it was always "protecting queer people and other marginalized groups on here from harassment"

•Democracies around the world have forgotten it or are forgetting it right now (hello, Netherlands 🙁 ). Openness without restrictions leads only to bad-faith groups festering and seeding hatred everywhere. Criticism is even twisted into intolerance by those turned into sheep.
Together for love and against hatred!
