The problem is when bad actors enter the situation. Meta has no interest in being a part of the community, they want to take it over and commercialize it.

And by commercializing it they would destroy it, since they will be promoting content that generates most clicks and everything will become agresive.

It's Google and Microsoft tactics.

Let people decide on their own what they want to see.

That's beyond ignorant. There's no place for that bigoted bullshit and if you want to be around it feel free to head on over to twitter.

bigot. One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

Describes you more than me. I'm in favor of openness and individual responsibility.

Still no. If you feel ostracized because your bigoted viewpoint isn't welcome, then you should take a hint and stfu instead of crying about it. I don't feel bad about not welcoming hatred and for treating it the same way it treats others. Your dog whistles aren't welcome either.

So text-based Instagram with 70 million regular users and some brand accounts is hatred? Serious reality distortion field you have there. Well, Lemmy.World has not blocked Threads at the moment, so I'm alright and actually not crying at all. It is people like you who want to police what other people look at.

Maybe you should lobby to block Trump's Truth Social which is an Mastodon instance full of actual racists.
