If you're a Fediverse admin, this is a plea for you to defederate threads.net

#Threads is part of Meta/Facebook, and their track record on moderation is as horrific as it is possible to be:

https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/ethiopia-facebook-algorithms-contributed-human-rights-abuses-against-tigrayans

https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2022-02-20/facebook-accused-of-letting-activists-incite-ethnic-massacres-with-hate-and-misinformation-by-survivors-in-ethiopia/.

The victims of prejudice, violence and genocide cannot "block" attackers that were radicalised online. Victims of bigotry and hatred cannot opt out of being beaten up or murdered.

Please defederate Threads/Meta/Facebook 🙏

@FediTips Disagree. Be open to doing it, but if they do things right with threads then they should be included in things.

@revjameson @FediTips why should we treat threads differently. if any other instance did stuff like that we'd defederate with them

@tauon @FediTips Threads is a different platform from Facebook. I’m sure you know this. That’s why I say if they are doing things right with threads, then they shouldn’t be blocked.

@revjameson @FediTips they aren't doing things right with threads though

@tauon @FediTips What are they doing wrong? Because the links given were Facebook related, not threads. I’m genuinely curious because I have not read anything.
