Instagram’s new Twitter competitor, Threads, is off to a rocket start. Mark Zuckerberg announced 30 million activated profiles, while internal data shows over 95 million posts and 190 million likes in less than one day,
Lol no, especially with all of the censorship it has
Pretending Twitter is a bastion of free speech is laughable. Twitter is full of censorship. And it’s the kind that appeals only to a certain demographic.
i don’t think the comment was implying that it was a bastion of free speech, but when you compare twitter and meta platforms, twitter definitely has the edge in a lot of communities, especially sex-positive ones
It absolutely does not have an edge. You can’t even use the term “cis” without getting banned. I can’t imagine that being a plus for sex positive communities where that kind of information is extremely important.
sex positive is not the same as queer friendly
you can’t post nipples on instagram, you can’t post even a hint of a bare ass in a jockstrap on instagram… you can post fisting and ws videos on twitter
you’re right, edge isn’t apt: there’s no comparison between the 2 platforms for sex positive communities
If they exclude entire demographics, it’s by definition not friendly nor positive.
that’s just entirely untrue… certain parts of it are be, i totally agree: twitter as a whole is a shit show
… however, it’s just misleading to say that “it absolutely does not have an edge ”
but sex positivity is just not a thing you can express on meta platforms… i say this as someone who uses social media entirely for fetish and kink content: these are my communities and how i choose to express myself and live my life… i am not welcomed on meta, twitter is a place i can exist
(bear in mind as well that the extreme toxicity of most of twitter doesn’t tend to spill over into those communities)
