"Threads is not run by someone that I and many others find to be an exceptionally despicable human."

Lol, he stole either the concept for facebook or its actual code so he could rate the women at his school (clue is in the name) and has done his best to erode online privacy, he's run unethical experiments on the userbase of said site and influenced elections via it, he's allowed companies to access a ton of private information and now this.

He may not have done as many 'ridiculous' things as Musk nor alienated his own family, treated people who get pregnant as tools to create more children and then dump them, but I wouldn't say he's not a despicable human.

Just because he's not publically in the limelight or throwing hissy fits about things, just because people now think of online privacy or manipulation as not worth caring about, I wouldn't say that doesn't make him a despicable human, in fact he is probably worse because you never see it coming until it's too late, with Musk at least he is loud and not subtle enough to know what you're getting.

Zuckerberg has constantly pulled shit like this and then got away with it because it's presented as a net good and he doesn't make a fanfare about it, that imo is even worse.

But, critically: do you consider him to be a human

To be fair, the Winklevoss twins are every bit as awful as Zuckerberg is. They still got filthy rich too, just not as rich as they would of had Zuck fulfilled his agreement with them.

[Sincere] Thank you for letting me know, I wasn't aware of that 🙂

If LGBT and Marginalized voices are not welcome on Threads then Threads is not welcome on the fediverse https://fedipact.online/

Yeah, that sounds like Meta. Heartless, thoughtless, and needlessly cruel.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Not sure I would say they are thoughtless, I'm sure a lot of thought goes into extracting as much value from people's personal information as they can and excluding anyone that actually cares.

Agree wholeheartedly on the other points though.

Meta sucks. I'm glad that the brief time that I had a book of face account didn't last long and I haven't helped make them any meaningful amount of money.
