This is the thing that I think the mainstream coverage is really missing. I remember listening to a podcast from The Verge where they portrayed the anti-meta pact as primarily a way for tech bros to keep control of these spaces. This completely ignores that the movement largely originated on LGBT instances. Go look at https://fedipact.online/ and tell me that @vantablack@kitty.social is some straight guy. Ultimately, the queer communities concerns were proven correct and Threads has explicitly platformed groups like Gays Against Groomers and Moms For Liberty while remaining wishy-washy at best about future moderation plans.
