    It’s fucked up how threads immediately devolved into a bigoted Antisemitic shit hole like twitter in a fraction of the time.

    Is it impossible to develop a social media platform that doesn’t get overrun with conspiracy whack jobs and assholes?

        It’s just not a useful platform at present. Maybe one day it’ll be relevant enough but not today.

      I think we just underestimate the amount of people who think like that

        Sadly I’ve just come to assume most people are Antisemitic bigots these days. I’d rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.
