    Threads is doing a decent job moderating them. They put warnings if you subscribe to someone known to spread misinformation and they remove posts that break TOS.

    Obviously the attention seekers are going to run to every platform. I don’t think it’s fair journalism to say that certain groups are moving to Threads when it’s many groups.

    “Men are creating thousands of accounts on Threads. Why are the majority of accounts female? Our data analysis explains here!” Is kind of the same clickbait.

    I won’t argue that racists don’t make up a loud percentage of text-based social media, though.
