We have the Nazi bar owned by the Nazi who proudly put the Nazi flag outside and kicks anybody out who insults Nazis, but where a lot of non-Nazis still hang out because it was the busiest, best place before the Nazis took over: Twitter.
We have the soulless corporate bar run by a guy who installed cameras everywhere in the bar, in every booth, every bathroom stall, where every 5 minutes the music is interrupted by an ad, and where the exit door shut has been welded shut: Threads.
We have bar started by the guy who initially owned the Nazi bar, but who has since been kicked out, that has recently accepted a major funding round from TESCREAL fascists, but where the vibe, so far, is pretty chill, where they promise that eventually you’ll be able to wander to nearby bars that all share the same menu, but where that promise is always some vague time in the future: Bluesky.
We have the series of no-name pubs that don’t show up on any maps, some run out of people’s houses, some even run from studio apartments, some run out of mental institutions, where you can leave any time you want and take your friends with you, where it’s a bit of a free-for-all, and if you want a round of drinks you have to chase down the busy publican and ask what’s available, and where you might be asked for help pouring drinks: Mastodon.
It’s great to see that years after the Nazis took over, some people are finally choosing to stop going to the Nazi bar. It makes you wonder why they stayed so long though. But, I’m not as impressed with where they’re choosing to go instead.
It’s remarkable that Musk is so horrible that he managed to make Zuckerberg look good by comparison.
I like King, but like everyone leaving the boat since a couple of days, it’s too little too late. Plus, leaving a babyllionaire’s toy for another babyllionaire’s toy is probably not the brightest idea.
He’s a multimillionaire who spent an entire decade or more so coked out and drunk that he doesn’t even remember writing Cujo. Don’t set your expectations so high.
So, he took his sweet time to leave the nazi bar and, of all places, he moves to the bar already on its way of becoming another nazi bar.
Ok
He’s going to Threads??? They have finally launched the metaverse and no one has told me anything??? I don’t see any other rational reason to do something like that.
Follow me on Threads, if you like.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Idk, Zuck doesn’t seem to suck up to Trump quite as much, so there’s that. He still does, but he’s just a bit more of a “behind closed doors” kind of person.
His final x-cretion
yawn. wake me up when he joins a social media site not owned by a corp.
I thought he was into horror?
Have you visited Threads? It’s pretty horrific.
I don’t blame him, reality is scarier than fiction.
I don’t think he expected to witness Greg Stillson for real.
Follow me on Threads
so, nothing has changed.
This thread is kind of wild. Do all of y’all understand that it’s more the blatant endorsement and promotion of literal Nazis that is driving people off Twitter? It ain’t the corporatization. We might not like that but to pretend like it’s the same thing is fucking insane.
Facebook has been a hotbed of nazi communities for longer than twitter has been around.
Facebook and its sister sites have been a hotbed of unmoderated nazi content for longer than some of the people in this thread have been alive.
Let’s not forget the Rohingya genocide.
I feel like with Facebook it’s more of a YouTube situation where they don’t care as long as it makes them money and no major regulator raises their eyebrows. Which is despicable, don’t get me wrong, but Twitter is not just doing that, it is actively endorsing these mfs
We must have different experiences with facebook, because I see nazi rhetoric just as often there. It may not be as blatantly supported, but they certainly do nothing to keep it off of the platform.
But is the nazi rhetoric on facebook coming from the owners?
It is intentionally amplified by the owners because that makes them money. We have more than enough knowledge to say that with confidence thanks to the empirical data and ex-employees.
Facebook spread disinformation from a junta that caused a genocide and the Zuck did nothing to stop that disinformation stream. He’s almost as bad as a Nazi.
They aren’t saying with their mouths, but they seem to be fine with it padding their wallets.
Right? People seems to forgot there’s mass exodus off facebook due to this exact issue and they still have this issue as of now, and also the protest against federating with Thread not too long ago.
Zuckerberg zucks Trump’s choad as much as Elon behind the scenes. It’s kinda worse in a way.
Meta admitted to tolerating election influencing, it doesnt matter in which direction, because it means they can be bought.
Threads is the same or worse. I just deleted my account.
Good luck.
I wish I could delete my Threads account, but I can’t delete what doesn’t exist. And I think I deleted my Twitter account before Musk bought it, but I honestly can’t remember since I haven’t used it many years.
It doesn’t matter since they never actually delete your data anyways, and continue selling your marketing profile.
Yup, that’s part of why I’m not bothering to check. Me logging in will just give them more data to sell…
I’m leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

It clearly following, I don’t know what you’re talking about
You have to go old school, bookmark their profile in a browser
Yeah I do this frequently. Then I randomly go back to people’s profiles and often find interesting communities and threads that way.
You can subscribe to their profile RSS feed, if you are into RSS.
“Relationship ended with Elon Musk. Mark Zuckerberg is my best friend now.”
You clearly don’t know anything about Stephen King’s politics and social positions.
Apparently neither does he.

You’re mixing up your problem with Twitter and normal humans’ problem with Twitter, get out of your echo chamber a bit, it might help.
Try enlightening us, o wise one.
Regular people don’t care about billionaires or their data or decentralization, the only reason they care about Musk in particular is the fact that he openly supports and finances a fascist, as long as Graber doesn’t do the same, people won’t give a crap about what he does with BlueSky just like they don’t give a crap about using other platforms like Instagram even though Zuckerberg is a moron.
If you don’t like weird billionaires running the show and pushing political misinformation, don’t use Facebook.
Threads was awash in bullshit “hacked at the tabulation level” election conspiracy theories following the election. It may not be MAGA, but it’s still making people stupid.
Meta even has Project 2025 people on staff helping run Threads: https://www.intomore.com/the-internet/why-did-meta-just-hire-this-ron-desantis-approved-project-2025-alum/
Stop using social media run by billionaires of you’re tired of getting fucked over by the ruling class.
“I know this one billionare is a sociopath, but the others are great, there won’t happen anything bad in the future, I’m sure!”
Normal people don’t mind the billionaires as long as they’re not intentionally pushing fascist content. They want a product that they don’t need to understand to be able to use.
Leaving a corpo-propaganda place, join another corpo-propaganda place. So close, King, so close.
Just like the chest piece, King just moved one square.
