And I’ve never wanted to hug the mods on Blahaj.zone more for saving us from the horror that is that site

It was only minutes for the feed to throw me posts from a guy whose first interaction on threads was “there are two genders.”
If I run a community, I know right away that guy is going to be an asshole and make things worse. Unfortunately he’ll probably cause a lot of engagement too.
Rage engagement. Pit Threads into fediverse, cause mayhem by having toxic Threads users in the feeds, know decent people cannot let go and respond, watch discussions and engagement explode, inject ads, profit
I know I’m going to make a real effort to not respond to these people. It’s so tempting thou.
What I find especially difficult is when they say something idiotic, get downvoted, and then have a whinge about being downvoted.
You are only down voting me because the your evil liberals and you are all sheep.
Yeah right.
I tried to sign up for Instagram to check it out. Here’s my experience of attempting to sign up:
- I gave my email address and date of birth.
- I chose a password.
- I chose a usernam–
- Upon typing the first character of my chosen username, I saw an error message: “An error has occurred. Please refresh the page.”
- I refreshed the page.
- “Your account has been suspended as you have breached our Community Guidelines. Please complete the information below to have the matter reviewed.”
- I gave my email address (again).
- I checked my email and click the link they sent me.
- I gave my phone number.
- I checked my SMS and provide the code they sent me.
- I was asked to take a “Verification Selfie”. You have to write your name, your username, and a six-digit number they give you “on a clean piece of paper” and hold it up. Your hand and face must be visible in the photo. It’s not entirely clear what they want to verify this picture against. Or what username you’re supposed to use, because, again, this whole thing started when I’d typed an “a”.
And at that point I realised I wasn’t welcome on Instagram.
i still associate the idea of “verification selfies” with weird 4chan culture, so it’s funny to me that they’re becoming a thing on more platforms
What’d you find?
Transphobia, a mess of an algorithm, and my own personal hell
Yup, sounds like my local community “Facebook Rant and Rave” group.
