All platforms are just becoming censorship hellholes for the owners.
One more reason the leave this digital sh*thole - if empathy is going to be restricted, it is simply not wanted on these platforms… 😔
Legal immigrants who have something to offer and dont expect handouts can make a country great.
Correct.
In addition, illegal immigrants that spend their dollars on the local economy, pay taxes without taking from the social security pots and do low wage jobs locals don’t want to do also make a country great.
“We use technology or a review team to identify content that should be covered,” a notice obscuring the post reads. “This post doesn’t go against our Community Standards, but may contain images that some people might find upsetting.”
Yeah, I bet.
“What the f**k, Instagram?” a Bluesky user wrote.
k.
Yeah, everyone should stop using Instagram, Facebook, threads, reddit, tik tok. But the FOMO is too strong. It’s too bad, if they did it would fix most of their problems in like a week.
Exactly.
Okay, now do religion.
Everyone should stop going to churches, synagogues, mosques, the church of latter day saints, and scientology. But the FOMO and fear of eternal damnation is too strong. It’s too bad, if they could just realize that everything is god including themselves, they could live happier more fulfilling lives in like a week.
Wayyy ahead of you.
I’m so far ahead of you I’m actually behind you.
People don’t really go to services for god or salvation, they do it for community.
I stopped going to church because the community was composed of rank hypocrites and bigots. I can have communal spaces elsewhere.
100 percent true. After many long years of observation and philosophical debates with myself, this was the logical conclusion I came to.
Most of those who visit th se “holy places” do so for the community and rarely for any actual religious reason.
Alright, the only way we can defeat religion is with cookouts and community events
It won’t work. Everything gets monetized and marketed till it’s soulless and drug-like.
Everything…
much more likely than with logical debates online, I’d say
My wife is very progressive and believes in human rights. Her Facebook feed went conservative about a week ago now with constant right wing propaganda.
She’s not very progressive if she uses Facebook.
FB has been normally Right wing propaganda arm for ru, for like a decade. i think they might have ramped it up. plus AI bots are probably running the site anyways.
Big tech has gone full fascist for a bit now
With literally no tech opposition from the left
Classic
That’s what happens when you sukk the zukk
It’s time for Pixelfed!
It’s really disturbing seeing social media start leaning this way. It’s very obvious controlled fascist propaganda. Have you seen what Twitter is now? It’s actually creepy and insane.
Remove yourself from algo driven sites, set up an rss reader and hand pick your media, subcribe to newsletters of trustworthy media sites, delete useless apps from your phone or better jailbreak it and install graphene, get an e-reader secondhand and start reading etc etc.
This is how everything works under capitalism.
Yep. Has been since before I was born. I don’t know if it’s ever been this blatantly obvious before. But I guess it always seems that way when you’re living through it.
Welcome to China.
Facebook is a privately owned company that is responsible for their own actions.
When will we get over the corpo social media
I asked that before it started.
Here we are.
Instagram is Facebook so no surprise there.
facebook= propaganda arm of russia in the US for boomers, and a site filled with bots.
You mean the app that’s run by a fascist and that promotes genocide? I’m shocked. SHOCKER!!! \s
(Seriously use Pixelfed instead, even if only partially for support.)
Pixelfed is dead just like mastadon . Loops was the only hope but someone on dbzero said loops is also fucked
By that same logic, Lemmy is dead, so what are you doing here?
No it’s not . You replied people reply is the proof but on pixelfed their are no replies. Dead area
So… If you think that wonder what you could do about it? If only there was somewhat to get involved and make a difference…
mastodon isn’t dead.
Ofcourse it has users but no replies make it dead
Meta sucks
So what are you all going to do about it?
Continue to not use Facebook/Instagram.
I switched to Lemmy when Reddit came out in support of people who abuse children. I don’t even mean Trump, I just mean in general. I suggested abusers in general should face harsher penalties. They banned me for it. I said “holy shit you just did me a huge favor, apparently I was on the wrong site because our values are 100% incompatible.”
I mean, there isn’t even a debate. I’m not talking about people who find themselves attracted to kids. I’m talking about people who actually went out and hurt a real child facing longer, more meaningful sentences and they said nah, those people are people and need to be protected.
I’ve moved social networks on account of incompatible values and I think others will, too. Maybe not the majority but I think some others will. Especially as things get worse. There are networks for people who hate (like Truth Social), and networks for people who don’t care (like Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp), but I think as things change, more people will care and will look elsewhere. Not everyone but some people.
I got banned for suggested someone stab a can with a knife to open it (they didn’t have a can opener). They said I was promoting violence. I appealed and a human still banned me for that. What a crock lol
I mean, there isn’t even a debate.
Just like anything else an argument could be made for rehabilitation, but yeah banning for this is insane.
Most people will continue and have continued to use the same big name social media, and expecting different from gen x and older is foolish. And these are still massive blocks of politically important people. Never mind the swarths of people in younger generations who will and are falling for the same dumb shit.
So nothing
I already don’t use Instagram so not really much more I can do but I guess it doesn’t impact me because of that
Those who use Instagram will keep using it and forget all about this within 24 hours.
Why do you ask?
