@jsit Oh god their Flounce stuck? I bet they weren’t getting traction. Thank you, I’ll poke around and drop in an edit tomorrow!

@kissane @jsit I made a serious effort to understand Threads's moderation in action but struck out. Their algorithm doesn't push abusive crap in my face and their search is so lousy I couldn't turn up relevant data. Doesn't address the core of your argument but it'd be useful to know what's going on over there and I don't.

@kissane @jsit my impression is that their account is still there but hasn’t posted since July, ditto with Gays against Groomers. They may have had some posts taken down but they didn’t get backed. Also there are reports of transphobic content being boosted into “for you” feeds, so they are there, and LoTT can direct them from offsite - it’s a very real theat, and I thought your advice on safety is excellent. Allow-list FTW!

@kissane also everything else about the article was great too!

@jdp23 @kissane Oh, you’re right! I thought “libsoftiktokofficial” was an imitator, but yes, this is them.

(Of course, even if it were an imitator, this would in no way diminish the thesis of the article.)

@kissane I’m wrong! “libsoftiktokoffical” *is* them. Sorry for the bad info.
