A search for Threads content on Twitter currently brings up zero results, despite plenty of links to Meta’s microblogging rival being posted on the platform.

    Not necessarily. It just requires that admins do their job and be good stewards of their users and instances.

    Mastodon, for instance, has a tag used exclusively for dogpiling fascists and their instances, so even though it’s decentralized, people are vigilant and keep the destructive elements disconnected. (Or, at least, make a great effort of it, which is more than we can say for Twitter.)

      I’m not a 140 characters person, so never got on the Twitter/Mastodon train.

      However, I think this is a wrong approach. It would be better if they were connected, but easily filtered. Just like NSFW.

        Mastodon gives you 500 characters.

        Also it has filters. :) I use those too, but I don’t have Nazi or Fascist speech filtered because I think it’s of the utmost importance that it be reported when it slips through. The upside is that in nine months of being on Mastodon, I can count on one hand the number of extremist toots I’ve seen. I’m glad filters exist for people who are emotionally upset by it, though.

        It’s a great platform and I love it.
