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.

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?

They aren't saying with their mouths, but they seem to be fine with it padding their wallets.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Let's not forget the Rohingya genocide.

Meta admitted to tolerating election influencing, it doesnt matter in which direction, because it means they can be bought.

Facebook has been a hotbed of nazi communities for longer than twitter has been around.
