Meta is downranking/hiding political content on Threads. The company says Threads will “not recommend any content/accounts that post about politics.”

Here’s the issue: what counts as “politics” is often any news abt people who have had their whole existence politicized, such as news about Black people, LGBTQ people, disabled ppl, women, etc. Climate scientists, public health experts etc also considered “political” https://www.axios.com/2024/02/09/meta-political-content-moderation-threads

First look: Meta won't recommend political content on Threads

Meta is laying out the details of its policy.

Okay, I get it, bad, bad.

But I don't use/don't ever plan to use Meta-anything, so the only way this affects me is when when people who do trek over here to tell me. And I don't care.

If you have a beef about Threads or Bluesky are you coming to Mastodon to post about that because you can get heard here, and not there?

Begs the question why you go there at all.
