Seriously, what people expected from it?
This is just ragebait, without knowing what they posted it's useless information.
Knowing Meta could be anything
If they're using the same algorithm for Facebook and Threads, then yes. The Hungarian far-right managed to teach ots Hungarian algorithm to censor speech critical of them many times, then it had to be quietly reset.
I got caught trying to think of how the Hungarian algorithm from the maths world was being used by the far right. I can picture them pouring over a diagram shouting 'not enough lines!'
That's what the article is baiting... People are desperate to be mad at Meta for this so it's easy clicks.

I love the smell of freedom in Lemmy. My instance admin is an anarchist. We have a piracy community. Such perfect harmony. 😄
I should have set up on your instance..
You still can. The beauty of the fediverse!
just waiting for the hability to migrate instances
I'll be the odd one out here and write that I don't mind not having the ability to migrate. The platform is intended to be pseudo-anonymous. I think one shouldn't become too attached to their particular name and instead focus on the ideas being discussed and the information exchanged.
For the same reason I hope karma continues to not be a thing and ignored by most clients even if the backend reports it.
It's probably more subscriptions that people care about, particularly since they are spread out and not always easy to remember.
Unsurprisingly, tools for the migration of basic stuff like subscriptions and block lists have already been developed by the community.

My migration to Lemmy.ca was a pain but it is doable. I put my Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca side by side and started subscribing to communities I was following on Lemmy.world.
it's a way, but automatic migration like in mastodon is simpler

Aye, feels good to be on the right ship here! Better than reddit ever was.

Sounds like these threads are becoming... unravelled...
Ok OP, be honest, what degeneracy did you post?
Could we really be stupid enough to ever let Meta or Facebook back in our lives. We literally just left one hugely greedy CEO and now people are really thinking another one, who has already proved himself an asshole, is going to be different?
Yeah I just really can't fathom the Meta apologists right now. If that's the only way to bring a massive number of people to the fediverse I think I'd prefer we stay small.
Just like Reddit when it started! Build it and they will come! I don't need instant gratification...I need a rock solid community built on freedom from shareholder bootlicking.
I don't really understand it. People left Facebook because the way they shifted the platform became less relevant to the younger audiences on it. And then it effectively died.
Now Meta (literally Facebook rebranded because of how much they fucked up) is creating threads and people just forgot what Facebook did?
Are people even thinking in the long term what's going to happen, like what's happened to reddit, Twitter and Facebook? Does nobody take a step back and take a minute to figure out what's inevitably going to happen again? It's bonkers to me.
It starts with the user base complaining about a platform going to shit, doing nothing about it in the meantime, and when a "viable" replacement pops up it's another privatized company that wholly plans to do the same exact thing that just happened to the one that's dying.
People's attention spans are 24 hours long.

That app is completely zucked from the start
Posted on twitter to avoid censorship lol
Twitter censors anyone to the left of Nazi lmao
American entities love censoring opinions they don't like. It's why Lemmy is so great. Parts of the fediverse are likely to exist completely externally to the US corporate """community standards""" which seem primarily to entice other corporate entities to advertise with them.
Forget companies. If you don’t like what you’re reading, simply register as a Republican and join a school board or run for governor. You’ll be able to ban all the books you want with impunity.
Sarcastic quips aside, we literally have no context for what this post is about. Yet you’re already assuming it’s because of “wrongthink” or whatever.
that's people in general. i've seen plenty posts here calling to ban 'bad' opinions or defederate instances that allow them.
Saw a mod on lemmy.ml delete almost every anti communist post on a thread yesterday. Was extremely disappointed.

Got zucked.
Ironic.
Arguably the fediverse is as free as it can possibly get without forcing other people to listen to you.
The boundary of the limit of expressing your opinion is directly determined by other people's willingness to listen. No CEO. No company policy. Just you and the community of users who are willing to listen. The standard is set by users.
The more you push it, the more extreme your contact becomes, the smaller the community gets, until it's just you imposing those views on no one but yourself.

doesnt matter meta got em, 10 million signups in 12 hours.
As I’m understanding it Meta tied Threads in with Instagram accounts. If you had an instagram account, a Thread account was automatically created. So I bet a large part of those 10million are zombie accounts.
