Threads just allowed Libs of Tik Tok to join them.
Libs. of. Tik. Tok.
Yeah, right. So much for joining them.

@AnthonyJK I mean... did we think something else would happen?
Nope.
Knowing Meta/Facebook as I do, there was not a snowball's chance in Hell they were going to deny wingnutters and fundies "free speech" rights there.
Snark understood and acknowledged.
I actually have no issue with conservatives using social media.
Libs of Tik Tok, though, stretches "conservative" to extreme limits. Better word for them is "fascist".
@AnthonyJK breaking news: major social media site has conservatives
(im being snarky; does suck that threads is already off to a horrible start with moderation)
If you want to defederate the entirety of Threads, these are the URL's:
threads.net
threads.instagram.com
If you only want to block that particular timeline:
threads.com/libsoftiktok (???)
@AnthonyJK Could you or someone point out the full account handle for them? I want to explicitly include them in all my account blocklists.
😲😲😲😧😧😧😖😖😖
@AnthonyJK@mastodon.redgarterclub.com i need a 'tf..' emoji reaction
@AnthonyJK I knew what I had to do....
Oooooh, so you CAN block them at the local level. OK....good, but still not good enough for me to join or not defederate.
@kebokyo @AnthonyJK Then they should all be banned. You don't just allow abuse because it's the platform of a major political party.
@AnthonyJK yeah... at this point pretty much any "conservative" talking head is just a straight up fascist. the only "conservatives" are the actual voters.
True. but I don't allow abuse here regardless of political party affiliation. No one escapes accountability.

I approve enthusiastically.
Shut their asses DOWN.
LoTT is a very, very right-wing/AltRight social media org that cut their teeth gnawing on and harassing folks on the Left, LGBTQIA+ and non-White folk, with special focus on the transgender community. Their efforts got them run from Twitter during the Dorsey regime, but when MusKKKrat took over, he gave them the Mulligan and free reign to harass again.
I am extremely out of the loop...
what is libs of tik tok? I keep hearing about this.
@AnthonyJK that’s standard conduct for any platform that values profit and growth over social utility, tbh. and inherited directly from instagram.
threads was never going to be socialist, or even antifascist, because meta never has been, and certainly won’t change to accomodate a much smaller network they may or may not federate with in the near future
@thememesniper @AnthonyJK you fucking kidding me? I get banned TWO days before it launches and they let the actual fascists join the platform?????????
@AnthonyJK OH BUT @yassie_j IS BANNED PREEMPTIVELY
Isn't that a pretty good fit for a company that's been complicit in multiple genocides?
Basically, if you don't have an Instagram account, you can't use Threads, and if you have both but want to close down your Threads account, you have to disable your Insta account too?
Aye, yi yi.
Here’s some context for you Anthony https://snowdin.town/notice/AXMgLpSRyC04GuxgVk
@AnthonyJK These guys? Really? I never would have guessed...
I was kind of hoping that nobody would end up joining Threads, but I can imagine the sort of (bad) crowds accounts like this would bring with them
@AnthonyJK My standards for social media are basically rock bottom, & even I am not going anywhere near Threads.
Get fucked Zuck.
Colour me fucking surprised.
We tried to warn people what it would mean 🤦♀️
