    The author complaining about Threads defederation from spinster was a pretty big red flag. It’s on every mainstream mastodon blocklist I’ve seen and it’s obvious he knows why. Really leaned into that “how can they discriminate against women!?” dog whistle that TERFs love to use.

    Edit: Oh, it turns out he’s married to the person who runs that server. He’s also worked with Gab, used some of their code for his soapbox, and seems to have been involved with Trump’s truth social. No wonder his feelings are hurt.

    Tl;Dr: The most hateful and problematic instances that exist were wisely blocked by Meta, and the admins have found a workaround that lets them see Threads posts, but doesn’t let Threads users see their posts.

    Meta is blocking Nazis… oh wait, I get it. This is a PR stunt to show the gullibles in the fediverse how much M(ark)eta has “changed.” Sure, there might be a historical shift of right wing populism everywhere because of Meta’s content regulatory practices but they’ve changed guys. C’mon.

      His entire brand is just platforming Nazis and complaining about the consequences…
