(Edit: Reading The Verge's article on the recent moderation changes, that's not good. That's not good at all. Yea, even though my opinion hasn't changed, it's just sad to see even the fake appeal of making a good community disappear. Facebook has fully acknowledged its fate of being the Cult of Shrimp Jesus and the hub of rightoid boomers that die from drinking raw milk, and whether or not anything really changed, it is now fully open to us marginalized folks that we're not safe there.)

Imo, a year earlier, I would push for mass-blocking Threads due to how potent the threat of EEE could have been during this time. Now, even though I still proudly recommend blocking Threads due to a distaste towards Facebook alone, I don't feel we should look down upon others for not doing the same. It's moreso how poor moderation inevitably becomes with large for-profit communities. Bluesky didn't ban one user, but the wider community was worse off because of it. Same goes for Misskey.io, which is a hotbed of disgusting pedo art, and mastodon.social, which is bot-infested. Plus, I feel we shouldn't get too mad when people don't want to lose the very connections that have been meaningful for them. It's a major reason why until Bluesky went mainstream, Twitter continued to be a major art hub well into its dark age.
