To be fair, 4chan banned them because they were annoying.

Bullshit. Most of the people on 4chan are annoying. I think that they were afraid that QAnon would bring them the kind of trouble that they couldn’t handle.

It’s not being “dumb enough”, it’s an addiction in the sense that scrolling through, liking posts and posting things gives people a Dopamine high. It’s really no different than a gambling or shopping addiction.
The site was designed that way. It took hints from the instant gratification that people got from grinding in World of Warcraft and the feeling of being important that MySpace gave everyone. Facebook is nothing but a virtual Skinner Box at this point.

I have a dog rescue and it’s where a lot of our adopters find us. More so than Petfinder, our site, or other social media. I also know a bunch of small businesses that use it too. Definitely still has a lot of practical use.
“If we can’t get money from targeted far-right fake news anymore, we are going to pretend an achievement of basic social equality from a century ago is now a controversial opinion too”
Meta, probably.

Uh go ask all the chuds clamouring for Meta to be part of the Fediverse, they seem to expect it to play out differently here.

When I defend Threads in the Fediverse is less that I want Meta to be the main Fediverse server, and more that I think this is an opportunity for people stuck on it to see what garbage it is in comparison to instances that put people first, unlike them that focus on money and manipulation.
Incidentally, maybe this is why their whole Fediverse integration talk never went anywhere.

What?! A sensitive social issue was attempting to have society socialize about it on a social network?! Preposterous!
I jest, but it is interesting that fb wouldn’t allow these specific ads, when it (fb) allows so many mis- and dis- information ads. But I’m just a Lemming. What do I know?

Won’t argue for or against that but if they were, I’d expect them to be in a restricted area where people would look for them instead of being shown along with shoes, circular saws and xboxes

The sensitive social issue of Women’s Suffrage?!? This is a historical and settled matter. What, are they going to ban games based on WW2 too?
There are far more controversial things that they let pass. No, this feels like active political interference, maybe some sort of internal anti-feminist bias.
