Threads has begun testing federation over ActivityPub. And they have blocked two important servers I administrate. The first server is the Mostr Bridge. The Mostr Bridge connects ActivityPub and Nostr together, so people can communicate across protocols. The second server is Spinster.xyz, which is arguably the largest independent feminist community online.
This was always going to happen. They will block agressively, because they can’t have their precious advertising money mixed with CSAM, nazis and other illegal content. And the fedi is full of that.
Umm Meta is basically only Nazis and Pedos at this point? I’d say there is far less of it on the Fediverse than on Facebook.
Have you gone on Instagram ever?
It’s normies and wine moms.
Nope.
But a quick google search shows:

Meta is Meta, I expect them to act like Meta and they do not disappoint.
Yes, of course it has Neo-Nazis, because it has hundreds of millions of people and essentially every niche community has representation there. The doesn’t mean it’s remotely accurate to say that Instagram is “only Nazis and pedos”.
The most followed user is Kim Kardashian, if I remember right, and she’s targeting the most normie women possible. Nazis and pedos aren’t exactly good for advertising.
This isn’t to say that Instagram doesn’t have moderation issues, but that isn’t contradictory to the fact that Instagram is not solely composed of those kinds of users.
