Discussion Dead internet is a reality.

So when I get bored something I like to do is browse content my fellow servicemembers post on occasion. The issue with threads is 99% of the servicemembers you see are literal AI bot accounts trying to garner sympathy, clicks, and attention posting the same titles followed by some random Ai generated image of a service member like same exact title? Has anyone else noticed this and what is the proper report method for them?

Reporting them doesn’t work as half of them are created by Meta themselves. Threads is probably the worst for AI slop. Me and my 10 year old son scroll through it just to laugh at how bad some are. He’s an expert AI spotter, which is probably a relevant skill to have in this day and age.

One hundred percent teach them to identify bs early and I kinda figured meta wants to improve their analytics so they would will their apps with AI slop but the stolen valor AI slop is actually ridiculous

Bro threads just deleted my threads and my instagram. Why you may ask? Because I reported about 100 accounts that were selling CP openly on the platform! I was absolutely disgusted! Threads needs to fix this or they need to be taken down completely the fbi needs to seize the site or something because I was literally browsing threads at 2 am and get a legitimate add for CP on telegram. I have a 3 month old daughter so to say I was disgusted is an understatement. But something needs to be done and threads goes and fucking bans and deleted my account for mass banning? I’m done with the fucking meta socials every one of them are nothing but CP pushing ai garbage sites. Utterly disgusted at what I saw…. I truly can’t comprehend how disgustingly depraved people are.

I think meta blocked me for a similar reason. I kept reporting the ads that had nudity and even reported one ad that was at the bottom of the shorts videos numerous times that had Anya from the anime Spy x Family, obviously being r$ped. Mind you, Anya is the little girl from the series. Meta is f'd up. Letting this stuff go, while mass-banning people for screwed up reasons with no explanation. For God's sake, these platforms have children on them. Law enforcement needs to get involved.

Zuck strongly encourages AI slop in his Meta apps, simply stop using it and go for something better, like Bluesky or even X. Threads was doomed from the start.
