Instagram, Facebook, and Threads are removing 404 Media stories for “nudity” as the company is paid to put ads with explicit pornography in front of its users.
Hear, hear, especially about Bluesky. It’s just as doomed as Twitter. I except it will collapse more quickly than Twitter did now that a playbook is established.
Bluesky’s business model is exponential growth, just like all the others, right?
All of them grow fast until they are so big that all their moderation tools stop working and then they say “Oops we are too big to manage all the racism and hate.”
Since Bluesky is built on the same growth model, they too will hit a point of no return where their mod tools can’t keep up with the deluge of spammy bullshit.
Mark my words, if growth for the sake of growth is the plan, it will inevitably happen.
Being a federated platform also gives admins of each instance control over how big they get and how fast. It also means that if someone goes wild and opens an instance to bots/Nazis in mass they will be de-federated by most instances cutting off the damage they can do.

I’m kinda glad that Lemmy has a relatively stable user count instead of an explosion.

Me too, it literally gives the devs time to manage the growth and develop new tools to manage growth.
The explosive growth is literally the ideology of a cancer cell.
