Regardless, right-wing Twitter users already hate Threads.

When Threads launched on Wednesday, numerous right-wing users shared(opens in a new tab) their dissatisfaction(opens in a new tab) with Twitter’s biggest competitor — on Twitter of course — over having their accounts flagged for disinformation. As of Friday, however, it seems the warning label on accounts that reported the issue has since disappeared.

      You are your actions.

      If someone consistently does horrible, hateful actions, guess what. They’re a horrible, hateful person.

      Absolutely, though I’m a believer that what they are is in part defined by their actions. Any label prescribed onto people is a mixture of identity and actions, and only the actions impact other people, and I personally believe that someone’s moral worth is determined by the effects of their actions on other people.

      If not by their actions, how do you judge someone? I cannot know “who they are” unless they either tell me or show me, and actions speak louder than words.

      So many people will claim to be “good people” then go on a 20 minute rant about the “gay groomer agenda” and how gay people should “leave children alone” and how black people “commit too much crime and need to be policed more for it” when you give them one glass of wine and start talking about politics. Their overall stance is clear, and it isn’t on the side of “being a good person.”
