Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse.

If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net"

If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net".

OK, I'll bite. You got something more substantial than "I read it on the internet" to back that up? One reputable source on your accusation? Not sayin' you're lying/wrong, just asking for some verifiable proof.

Numerous actual popular accounts and news sources have been suspended. It was major news in the Arabic-speaking world in October. Meta even apologized for auto-translating Palestinian as “terrorist.”

Hate to say it but that's a fail on producing a reliable source.

Did you want specific accounts?

Palestinian Shebab News Agency has facebook pages shut down

@Eye.on.palestine on IG suspended by Meta, then back up after a backlash.

#IStandWithPalestine and #FreePalestine getting censored by Facebook

Thanks, that's much better.

You know, you have access to search engines too. You don't need to be lazy and treat the rest of the Internet as your personal stenographer/research assistant.

Fucking HELL, despite how increasingly easy it is to find information, it cannot keep pace with just how utterly fucking lazy people are getting.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

Fuck off. You were asked for reliable sources - a very reasonable request these days, and you replied with none. I was right to call you out on that.

Only if you tried searching first and didn't find anything. If it's on the first page of Google if you just try searching the claim, then other people shouldn't need to link it for you.

You know you’re responding to a different user right?

The irony is amazing!

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

Then the fuck off goes double for them and triple for you.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

I see you’re a certified bad ass.

Ill leave you be, sir.

[-] Burstar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

No, just no. If you want strangers to take what you say seriously then you should show the simplest respect by supporting your claims with the reason(s) you have them. Laziness is flapping your mouth off and expecting to not have to back it up.

You don't have to humor the troll. We all have the internet we are all free to independently verify.

At the moment this is coming from secondary sources from within meta so there are no articles about it that I'm aware of. But Palestinians and activists constantly have their content removed, account reach limited, and comments removed (which has happened to me multiple times). People also have their accounts threatened and removed.

These actions are visible constantly, meta have been doing this since the start. For example, when you go to someone's stories at the top it might show 4 or 5 stories, but when you click through to their profile there'll be 20+.

Some people I follow don't even show up at the top anymore and I have to access their stories via their profile page or if I've messaged them recently.

Well a good friend of my girlfriend is from Gaza. He has been posting translations from his sister's account of what it is actually like living there right now. Then some AI artwork behind stories of "this place was bombed, my friends just were killed, etc..." and he got a big notification on Instagram that "his account has been restricted for violent hate speech" even though he didn't incite violence even one time. He just has posts with 2nd person stories of the situation there.
