Did anyone successfully move away from instagram? I have an account and sharing photos to a community there (people who I know irl and random strangers) brings me joy. I also have a pixelfed account but I know no people there and I was unsuccessful in switching. I’d love to hear what others used or did that worked for them.
> "The Day" So it was fine when they were censoring republicans, but only became "the day of infamy" when blocking the left... Zero acknowledgement or mention in the article about the history of censorship against the right. I thought they believed in equity?
Trump was banned from Facebook and Twitter. They didn't seem to have a problem with this. It's interesting how the brainwashing works: they always find a reason for whatever they do. "Empathy", "sympathy", "compassion" for whatever evil they do. "We are protecting innocent people from the Dangerous Thoughts". When other groups do it to them, then they cry in the media in which they control. The solution is simple: we…
For misinformation and inciting violence. Not because of his politics.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
When did they censor the republicans?
Did you forget that Meta chose to shut down the account of a democratically-elected sitting Republican president? Or is that (and other scandals eg the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story) a distant and obscure memory?

But in the case of Trump he was banned due to the incitement of violence/revolt in the Capitol Hill incident and the attempts to overturn election results.
I sincerely hope this attempt of a technocrat oligarchy to be the downfall of social media as we know it, we lived without them, everyone has been on and off at some point even after joining in, even younger generations, so everyone knows we can easily unplug with net positive impact in our lives. And that's all it takes for their power to vanish like smoke in the wind.
I’ve seen a bit of how these sorts of things work and I’m going to give Meta the benefit of the doubt for the initial block, I’d like to think their leadership isn’t that brazen, and the fact this was fixed suggests an error. One bad piece of content (possibly related to critique of the incoming regime) tripped up an automated filter and took down a keyword at an unfortunate time. What’s inexcusable is that it took s…

Mastodon is fine for photo sharing too

I'm not sure what similar argument can be made about the #Democrat hashtag, though. As far as I know, nothing actually happened that would warrant any restrictions on the hashtag.
