Far-right figures, including Nazi supporters, anti-gay extremists, and white supremacists, are flocking to Threads - Lemmy.world

They are not “flocking to Threads”, they were already in Instagram and Facebook. Meta is going to have to pay one day or another for cowering in front of religious countries by allowing homophobia and anti-atheist and anti-freethinker hate-speech in those countries.
I know exactly what you mean
Well, to be fair, I have managed to get some lunatics removed from some local UK communities on Facebook. Granted, these are UK communities, but still, there were a lot of lunatics at some point during pandemic. All the crap suddenly started posting all kinds of non sense from blatant racism to conspiracy theories.
Try learning some Arabic or Hebrew, moderators for content in that language are mostly sourced from the MENA region where the notion of hate-speech is quite distorted and homophobia and hate-speech directed towards nonbelievers are considered normal. Reporting hate-speech in those languages almost never leads to removals.
This is the answer: they were already there to begin with

That’s been my experience as well. Reporting them does nothing, but if you call them out on their BS, Facebook suspends you.

As long as hate drives engagement, this will never change.
