I feel the same about a lot of Fediverse apps right now. They're kinda just coasting on the fact that they're not big enough for most spammers to care about. But they need to put in solid defenses and moderation tools before that happens
Another reason to block federation with Threads.
Meta will likely actually moderate against spambots because they want you to fucking pay them for that service. The problem is, they aren't too interested in moderating hate speech.
So, you're suggesting that it is better that they are profiting from helping state actors and hate groups?
Edit: No, they are not suggesting that. I misunderstood their meaning.
I don't think I made a value statement whatsoever. I think calling it a problem and hate speech would've been enough of a clue as to how I felt about it, however.
It's actually why I support most instances defederating from them
Ah. I clearly misunderstood your meaning. Sorry about that.
Meta has the most resources to combat spam and abuse.
And the least demonstrated desire to do so.
