Re: Why your public Facebook comments are useless to the world?
#2This isn't clearly written (English not the first language?) but the gist of it is actually interesting: the implication is that controversial or provocative posts get pruned from facebook (or at least buried under a view more comments button) and the less controversial ones rise to the top. Unfortunately it's a pretty poorly done experiment but it might be worth looking into.

AFAIK, it is more complex than that, and the description of the author is correct:
A "bad" comment is moderated away for everyone but its author and his/her the friends.

#5Before everyone piles on about the author being a technical idiot and assigning conspiracy to eventual consistency, it does reveal a more interesting insight in a world where tech folk are largely in denial of the real-world political consequences of their work - that eventual consistency can potentially provide a cover of plausible deniability to censorship.

#6I actually wrote a comments-section application to address this exact issue (It should be up and running by next Friday or so, notbl.com). Everything's anonymous with no social media integration, to help alleviate autocensorship. There's no notion of "down-voting" to prevent controversial opinions from being cast into oblivion. Website owners can censor their own instance of the application. However, changes are only visible when viewing the thread on the owner's website. Viewing the thread on the main site (my site), will display the thread with only spam redacted.

looks like hellbanning just leveled up.

#8Surely the most logical way to test this hypothesis would be to write a normal comment and write a "provocative" comment and see if there is any difference between the two comments made at the same time on the same account. Had the author done this they would have found out there was no difference and this is simply down to the public parts being heavily cached.

#10I work with Ads on a lot of platforms, you can set that certain keyboards or phrases are blocked. In the sense that the post is still made, but it is not served to the public. Their is no conspiracy here, if anyone is causing that censorship it is the post promoter.
