Meta Censoring '#Democrat' on Instagram

#42Seems like several platforms are complying with fascists, so we should definitely be switching to decentralised platforms to communicate safely.
What’s especially offputting is the media not covering Elon’s Nazi salute
Do you really believe this? Sincerely and honestly?
You believe Elon Musk is somehow showing support for the National-Socialist party of the German working class?
How is it possible to get to this level? Truly amazing.

#43It seems like they quickly resolved it but as people making software we know exactly what happened. The deployment was not successful. Does not make the idea any less ugly. I’m sure they are gonna redeploy a less obvious version
Split test started, AI detects outrage level. Data point taken. Roll-back initiated. All in one python script.

That'd be the ultimate dog whistle

They don't need explanations. America signed up for this. Now, everyone is just along for the ride.
"Everyone" worldwide? The rest of the world didn't sign up for this.
We share the blame as we spent 80 years relying on the crutch of US military support and now we struggle to see how we can stand up on our own without the crutch. The next decade will test the resolve of other liberal democracies to survive this challenge.
Republics fall, progress isn't linear. Even c. 2000 years ago people were writing about how democracy falls to tyranny. The world is a lot more global now, but the Roman Republic would also have seemed rather "global" too, yet was replaced by the Roman Empire not long after Cicero was writing.

#46This being flagged is interesting in itself.
Re: Meta Censoring '#Democrat' on Instagram
#47#fuckbiden works, #fucktrump gets censored. They better have a good explanation for why this is a bug.
The question for the people who find this outrageous, why didn't you find the opposite situation just as outrageous? For years, liberals have been tacitly and often explicitly endorsing censorious behavior of Twitter, Meta and others as not only legitimate, but desirable. And this outcome is exactly why that was a dangerous position to embrace. Because, soon enough, someone you don't agree with will come into power.…
Yes and this is the core problem.
I have no dog in this fight and I want to see all ideas surface. Then people will be able to judge for themselves. I do not want any kind of filtration by either communists or conservatives.

#48I'm in Europe and I also have the democrat hashtag hidden but not the republican one. Between this and Musk salutes, it's very concerning.
That's an understatement. I'm personally shit scared

No, which is why nobody but people who want to downplay say this stuff. This is the second comment of this kind I saw.
He's doing the Hitler salute, with a snarl, once to the crowd and once to Trump. He has no clue who Hitler is or what he did, just like he has no clue what RPC are, or what item level requirements in Path of Exile 2 mean, but that doesn't change what we see with our own eyes.

Between this and people convicted for sedition being pardoned I'm curious. How much copium do you use to remain in denial?
