when Threads launched, a number of right wing accounts with a history of posting misinformation on other platforms were flagged with a warning label informing users that they “repeatedly posted false information”

however, it appears Threads has now removed these labels

a Meta spokesperson told Donald Trump Jr. that his account was flagged in “error” and that it’s since “been fixed”

Threads backtracks flagging right-wing users for spreading disinformation

Regardless, right-wing Twitter users already hate Threads.

@MattBinder Well, well, well. I had a feeling this Threads thing was going to be a new hellsite, and this being the new sister platform to existing hellsites Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, of course Zuck would want to appropriate Twitter's dumpster fire for himself. Sure enough.

I'm starting to think, if my instance doesn't defederate with threads(dot)net, I'll block it myself.
