@aral @eatyourglory I’m very well aware of Meta’s challenges with content moderation. And I definitely would like them to be called more accountable for this.
I’m just challenging the idea that full defederation of a platform with millions of people is the right way to respond to these failures, or if more granular measures (blocks/mutes) can be implemented.
Again, if the tree was rotten at its very roots (Gab, poa.st etc.), there would be no doubt about it.
If the head of the platform was actively engaging and promoting hateful ideologies (like Musk), there wouldn’t be any doubt either.
But for now I don’t see any such strong signals from Thread.
