Looks like a couple of white supremacists from here would feel more at home there though (hey lurkers - from kbin we can see you upvoting the racist blowing their dog whistle, you can't hide)..

....you can see me upvoting furry porn?

Fuck

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Whistle" is a pretty weird name for a dogsona tbh..

[–] JimboDHimbo@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

You're wild af for this. 😂😂

[–] 7u5k3n@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Oh... Oh no.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Wait, what? Since when is Kbin racist?

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

I think you have misunderstood? Or have I missed a joke?
Either way - I'm on kbin, where votes are transparent, so I can see who the people that are staying quiet but upvoting racists are, and am letting them know it (and blocking them while I'm at it). I hope that clears things up?

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Aah, yeah I definitely misunderstood. Phew!

Okay you misunderstood. To explain. EVERY action on federated services is public and viewable on KBin. Your upvote, downvotes, etc.

That means we can see racists while (we) are using KBin

In all fairness, it's a true statement. Just probably abused by people with certain agendas.

[–] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 65 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

"it's okay to be white" was crafted by 4chan as a "triggering the libs" phrase. The entire point is to be fully racist and rally under the phrase so that the people calling you racist for genuine reasons appear to be saying that it is not in fact ok to be white. Anyone saying this phrase is a white supremacist trying to trip you into "agreeing" with them that a white genocide exists and is happening, and to convince bystanders (youtube teens at the beginning of the alt-right pipeline) that the left is against white people, ergo if you're white you should become a Nazi.

I know this because it happened to me. "It's ok to be white" is prime ben shapiro owns feminists with facts and logic video material.

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 38 points 10 months ago

The issue isn't the statement itself. It's the implication that white people are being victimized that folks are taking umbrage with.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Its a malicious statement. It makes the reader assume that there are people that dont think being white is okay. Statements like its okay to be black or lgbtq or anything else it works because there is a lot of discrimination against them.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

There's definitely people that think that!

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 59 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Appears to be an african american lady telling everyone they’re fine to be what they are.

Both were on the same day

Frankly I can find better reasons to mute that account, it’s a constant stream of lists, memes, etc… but racism doesn’t appear to be one of them.

edit: just like to congratulate OP on rage baiting lemmy by failing to investigate the account for context. It matters.

so far, the only threads ads i ever see are when users post them in anger about seeing threads ads

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Do you have any sort of dns filtering going on?

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Do you have any sort of dns filtering going on?

IG shows Threads posts in that preview panel based on what the algorithm tells the user engages with. I get shown comedians and motorsport stuff. If people interact with Nasis content (incl. reposting Nazi stuff commenting how bad it is), all the algorithm sees is "Oh, engagement". The more engagement they get, the more their posts surface. Report and block.

My threads ads are either corporate posts or some random lady posting how a black Santa statue at her mall is the most offended she's ever been in her life.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

Meta trying hard to metastasize.

[–] brainandforce@kbin.social 17 points 10 months ago

Is threads trying to ragebait people into downloading it? Because that's what it seems like...

[–] joewilliams007@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)
