Maybe it is being abused by trolls and such so badly they had to disable it temporarily.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago

Maybe it's just a bug.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Nah. I'll die on that particular hill.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Just testing the new Great American Firewall!

Just tried it. It works fine. Granted, most results are from fascist accounts, but it does work

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder if that may be the cause of the block in the original post — i.e. if the fascist accounts were posting lots of "sensitive" content (such as stuff that would, in a different era, been far more likely to be removed if reported), then it might appear like the censorship that OP saw. I vaguely recall an instance of something similar happening, and if so, the "censorship" would be an automated error, and it being visible now would be after the manual intervention.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Occam's razor disproves this to me.

It's more likely that meta was testing censorship, but people caught on.

Than #johnOliver #bernieSanders #Democrat #proChoice etc. All being banned, but none of the conserve hashtags

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe this will hopefully get people to stop using the garbage platform that enabled Trump and aided a literal genocide because they didn't hire anyone fluent in the language of the people being exterminated.

I can't wait for the day Zuckerberg loses all his money and dies alone because he alienated himself from anyone who cared about him.

With pixelfed ripping right now and available tools to migrate your IG images, there’s never been a better time to leave zuck’s shithole sites.

What was that story warning people that if they use RedNote they'll experience 'Chinese style censorship' for the first time?

US using the old if you can't beat em approach

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah the US is making China look tame... Fucked up world we live in... Definitely the wrong timeline...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Every day is a day closer to the electorate realizing certain luxuries have been removed from their cages. Here's hoping it's sooner rather than later. And don't be pathetic and turn to the democrats to help you. They were bought and paid for and will be lucky not to be disappeared.

Ugh, excuse me, I'm a "dirty lib" and you can check my credentials on that one.

In reality, though, I've been saying since Novemeber we are on a fixed rail now and if there was once a way off it just passed us by. The sooner everyone comes to realize it the better but I can't make everyone do it. So just spreading the word and hopefully they know I'm not trying to scare them but prepare them for the not so distant future.

And if I go with the first round of cullings I'm happy too because the horrors about to be witnessed will break any good person and my heart is weak.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That wasn't a denial lol

I politely disagree about our fixed path, but to correct it will be so much harder now, no doubt. Just gotta keep at it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Derailment, maybe, I just don't see how we can use the system to break the system at this point. It would be worth a try but anytime I say the word "strike" I get bombarded with the most derisive vitriol. So, I'm just putting 2 and 2 together.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Don't get me wrong, it seems bleak for sure, but they are banking on ppl giving up or losing energy. The uphill battle sucks, but we need to regroup, re-evaluate, and definitely push forward. If too many ppl give up, we sign our own demise :(

What's a two party state that's one party down?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

So basic you can hardly tell it's there!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

Sounds a bit like a...dictatorship

[–] [email protected] -5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It's not censorship. It's a private company that is regulating the content on its platform. Nothing is stopping you from using a different one or creating your own

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

This is such a dumb thing to say, you could also say that all news papers etc. Are private companies.

But if they're collectively controlled by a few people or the government, and only publish certain things. That is 100% censorship

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

As long as you don't mind the fact that everyone else is on this particular one.

The network effect is a real thing, it's not that simple.

Zuckerburg is furious that dems dragged him before congress and tried to blame Trump winning on Facebook.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

The Product Manager made the mistake of having the keyword be overtly banned by the SWEs.

What was intended was an algorithmic change to hide the content entirely and divert to "acceptable" topics while obfuscating the ban.

It will be corrected shortly.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

Confirming this was the last straw and the moment I uninstalled all meta apps

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 days ago

Don't worry! Free Speech Republicans AGAINST Censorship will be FURIOUS when they hear about this!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

Blocking hashtags while pretending to be more free speech.

I hope meta goes down in flames
