@chris Cool. My tone is off today so things could be taken anyway after spending most of it neck high in BS overload from all angles due to swearing at the swearing in and the ones reporting on the swearing in.. lol.

@chris That ditto brings me to a funny story on this gloomy day.
In our household, we spell it "did oh" instead of ditto
For years, my wife and I say, 'ditto' after the scene in the movie Ghost in texts for "love you"
For whatever reason, auto spell on the old early 2000 era phones qwerty keyboards always failed with ditto so we started typing 'did oh' instead. lol

I've just try it, it's the same here in New Caledonia. The shitfuckery is global.
I'm planning going out of instagram, probably going to make y own Pixelfed server. -
@chris OMG. Just confirmed this myself. I knew things would get bad but I didn't think they would be so blatant.
(I know I should delete my IG account but so far I just never use it except to look up things like this.)
Searching #republican got a bunch of hits.
Searching #democrat got no results.
Searching #postcardstovoters (which supports Democrat candidates) got no results.
Going to an old post of my own and clicking on #postcardstovoters shows results, which shows the hashtag exists.

@nicolas_rinck there is about to be even more of a mass exodus.

@chris tested with my partner, same results, in Quebec, Canada.

@paul @chris Had to see it for myself.

@chris using the mobile web (Firefox Android app) version of #Instagram in the US, I get no results for #democrat and plenty of results for #republican .
-
@bogdanoviste @chris @sexedforbiguys @ragabash I guess the democrat party will be made illegal soon.
-
@bhasic @bogdanoviste @sexedforbiguys @ragabash the would be the logical progression somewhere down the line….

to Canadian journalists. Multiple confirmations of this manipulation of search results on Instagram in favour of republicans in the thread above.

PS: this is why Bluesky is not a sufficient alternative at this time. -
@chris I can confirm this is real. Accessing from Seattle WA, both singular and plural “Democrat” is blocked, but “Republican” is not.
You can still search for Democrat as a tag, but the results skew negative (like “democrats suck”), which is not the case for the word Republican. This could just reflect what people post though.
Also blocked is the word “fascism”, but weirdly not “Republican Fascism”. Can’t explain that one.
Anyway, receipts below.
