For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

This also could cause a Streisand effect, just like Elon Musk did it with Stonetoss and Hans Kristian Graebener.

  1. After a lot of data-diving, people doxx Stonetoss. They found two live recordings, which confirm he was RedPanels. On gab, he used an email starting with hgraebener, then further data diving confirms his name.

  2. While it wasn't 100% sure to this point, he begun blocking any leftist accounts he could, then beg Elon to "protect free speech", which pretty much confirms it.

  3. Extreme crackdown on doxxing begin. People reported timeouts just for posting the name, or the link to Know Your Meme about Stonetoss, which now contains the doxx, as well the memes related to it.
