One metric I'll be listening to carefully in evaluating #Threads moderation is how these orgs advocating for margalized groups view the #Threads experience it:

#BlackLivesMatter, #NAACP, #GLAAD, #MovementForBlackLives #WomensMarch #TranssgenderLawCenter

Each joined Threads yesterday and have all amassed tens to 100's of thousands of followers.

@tchambers I mean this isnt confusing or controversial at all. How is this still a thing people are talking about?

Facebook, which is what Threads is, is currently being sued for HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS in international courts. Does that... you know... cause anyone to stop and think? And this is the tip of the iceberg with this company and with their technology.

This isnt a serious conversation, right? Even if neoliberal orgs sign on, that doesnt make the human rights violations any less egregious nor does it compel any of the millions of people who SPECIFICALLY LEFT THOSE NETWORKS any more likely to rejoin them. Right?
