@evan It was surprising considering how there are a lot of voices against it.
I guess it's a matter of, the “anti” is usually the loudest in any “issue”? And/or the “pro” typically keep quiet?
While it's may not be representative of everyone active and/or cares about federation, for me, it shows how #BringingDownTheWalls is still the ultimate goal. We're still on track. ^_~
I created a new #Instagram account just to access #Threads and for testing later. But guess what?
The first thing I saw after joining Instagram's Threads using a new account were:
* big boobs
* big butts
* women making their big butts dance
* girls (hopefully they are not underage) showcasing their boobs
* and on and on and on
Seriously? Where's the #CONTENT? Did I join a #Dating app or something?
Why is the majority of the content I'm seeing are women? I only saw 2 nature posts, 1 cooking post, 4 funny posts (not even a meme).
To be clear: This is a reaction to the type of content, a new account I created, Threads threw at me. This is NOT about women.
I don't know if they're using an algorithm. If they are, since it is a new account, there is no data for their algorithm to use, so it more likely chose the “most popular” and/or “most active” posts.
That's fine.
However, for people not searching for someone to date, they will immediately delete Threads if this is what you show to new accounts.
=== BGN: aside ===
* I had to create a new account because Instagram banned my official account for no particular reason.
* I even confirmed my identity 3 times (they forced me).
* They won't talk to me at all.
* Absolutely no violations, I rarely upload and leave comments.
* If I will take my best guess, they banned my official account because I'm #ActuallyAutistic. While my personal account, where I did not reveal I'm #Autistic, is still fine to this day.
* I have Two-Factor Authentication on, I have a verified phone number and email.
=== END: aside ===
I think #Meta / #Facebook doesn't have to worry about #Fediverse content violating their “community guidelines”. Based from this shocking experience, it is the fediverse that should be worried of the content Threads will be bringing over.
P.S. I am 100% for #BringingDownTheWalls. This is NOT an anti-Meta post; even though they unfairly and unjustly banned my official, and old, account last year.
