MODERATORS
 

When Threads launched on Wednesday, numerous right-wing users shared(opens in a new tab) their dissatisfaction(opens in a new tab) with Twitter's biggest competitor — on Twitter of course — over having their accounts flagged for disinformation. As of Friday, however, it seems the warning label on accounts that reported the issue has since disappeared.

Thank God. Tired of big tech flagging anything that doesn't pander to the left-wing liberal agenda as "disinformation"

[–] CoderKat@lemm.ee 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We don't want your disinformation on this platform, either. :)

[–] TraditionalMuslim@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm sure you love to live in your own bubble. Go outside and experience the real world for once. If you are so blind that you can't see you're being manipulated then there's nothing I can do about that.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same could be said about the users whining that their misinformation/disinformation is getting blocked on social media.

I agree not everyone on the other side is acting in good faith. But to have an echo chamber anywhere is toxic. Just like this place.

I live in the real world where my government doesn't care about people and corporations dictate policy through lobbying. But you're right: the media is programming us and pitching leftwing politics. /s

Actual Left policies would take care of people. We have none of that in contemporary mass media. Go back to Twitter.

[–] TraditionalMuslim@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You think Leftwing policies will make the world better? We're already heading towards that and policies have been pretty left for the past decade or so. Is the US becoming any better as a society? Not at all.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You clearly have no understanding of Left politics. Bernie Sanders is Left. Dems are centrists. You're not educated on the topics you're commenting on. The US is and has been deeply right-wing since WWII.

[–] TraditionalMuslim@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And you think you are educated? Dems are not centrists. If you are Dem you likely support LGBT, abortion, marijuana, anti-gun, etc. US has been liberal/left-leaning for the last decade. The average millenial/Gen Z is also very left-leaning and liberal.

[–] 133arc585@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Liberalism in the USA is a right-wing ideology.

No it's not. Please read up on that. Liberalism in USA is left-wing/progressive. The opposite of that is Conservatism.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I clearly know more about Left politics than you. I spend a ton of time consuming a wide variety of political content. I even spend a fair amount of time checking in on Fox News articles to know what messages they're spinning on the right.

Your arguments demonstrate that you have a limited understanding of the political landscape as one might have if only thinking there are two flavors of politics: GOP and DNC. I can assure you there's an entirely different definition of Left than Dems. I am not a Dem. They are also my political enemies.

[–] TraditionalMuslim@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. So if you don't classify yourself as Dem then what type of policies are you advocating for?

Lmao. You people are the most easily manipulated organisms on the planet. Your anorexic grey matter is programmed to respond to irrational and completely untrue fear mongering.

Why do you still support literal traitors?

[–] TraditionalMuslim@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Says the one who is actually being manipulated? The establishment and deep state are working with the left to push forward this global agenda. So how are right-wingers the traitors?

Any time someone talks about "global agenda" and globalism/globalists, it's a dogwhistle for antisemitism

[–] TraditionalMuslim@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well I'm not implying anti-semitism but all this LGTV stuff is being shoved down my throat everywhere I go.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

It's being shoved down your gullible throat by exactly the same right wing extremists who control every corner of your feeble psyche.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Because you magats still support the biggest traitor to ever occupy the Whitehouse.

Anyone who supports blatant fascism is no longer welcome in OUR America.

[–] s_s@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Clearly this is an approach to rational conversation.

It must get tiring being a constant shit-stirrer?

[–] End0fLine@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So is this the same or different TraditionalMuslim that felt the need to share with us how evil trans individuals are a few days ago?

[–] gornar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't be surprised if so!

[–] TraditionalMuslim@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The one and only. You forgot to mention it's not just trans people. It's the whole LGTV movement.

[–] ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are the same thing.
