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 @[email protected] 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.

I actually learned of that whole thing directly from vanta and the idea people would claim she's some white tech bro is low key hilarious.

But the straight media tends to ignore queer movements in general.
