No matter how much FaceMeta disgusts me, at least Threads has some semblance of moderation to keep the MAGA fascists under control. I rather have to deal with idiots than with the far-right cesspool that Twitter is turning into.

Thankfully, we have Mastodon, so I don't have to deal with either. They're both blocked on my PiHole, so I just get a DNS error when I accidentally click on links.

    Always a bit of a sobering experience in the rare instance that I end up in Twitter. The fact that some of them are willing to be so blatant about being a PoS is a little concerning to say the least.

    When the owner themself doesn't hide what kind of PoS they are, this is what you get. I have no love for Zuckerberg, but if I can criticize him based on what he does and how he does it and the effects his decisions have on society, any one with brains could without having to resort to low brow insults of measuring contests. That's basically the difference, one service is managed by someone who, despite all his flaws, is an adult, the other isn't.

    BTW, I used neutral pronouns for the "chief twitt" and not for Zuck just to spite him and make the point that one doesn't have to lower the level bellow a certain threshold to provoke, all considering how they hate "woke" stuff...
