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?
Laure@annaleen no they did spin up fascism by giving the keys to their platforms to networks of opaque click scammers and info operators often backed by powerful special interests like Mercers/ #Bannon, #breitbart, #fox etc who “flooded the zone” astroturfing extremism and #conspiracy, stirring up ignorant #MAGA-t mobs. This method and channels proliferated. #Propaganda works. #disinformation works.
