Annalee Newitz 🍜I am a tech nerd and commentator who jumps on every new social media thing but I have absolutely no interest in the non-organic, autotuned community McMansion that is Threads. Seriously, do we really need another product from the "we didn't invent fascism, we just give the people what they want" company?
MrCopilot@annaleen There is a quote here somewhere <rifles through closed tabs>
“There are more than enough amazing communities—sports, music, fashion, beauty, entertainment, etc—to make a vibrant platform without needing to get into politics or hard news,” he said, later adding: “We won't discourage or down-rank news or politics, we just won't court them the way we have in the past.”

"THEM" is doing very heavy lifting in that sentence.
