Don’t CW this.

@katt1010 thanks for checking!

@chris interesting, I just tried it and got results for both...

@chris @martinvermeer @sinabhfuil or, better idea, you put that fucking CW there where it belongs.

I get it, you somehow managed to evade every single mention of these guyws being vicious and evil for the last 30 years, despite being shoved down our throats on a hourly basis. And of course you are worried now that you know what everyone else already knew.

But we do not want to be reminded about them wanting us dead and isolated and silent 24/7 just because you just found out after decades of playing tetris that there actually is a level 2

@JustAnotherJay the results are much less consistent now it seems... things are evolving

Kinetix

@[email protected] Chris, I gotta ask: How many passes does a company get for helping commit genocide before people stop being shocked at them doing bad things?

Jason Bouwmeester :mstdnca:🎮☕

@chris as you know, I'm also in Canada so who knows...

Buckle up!

@glassjellyfish @martinvermeer @sinabhfuil
congrats. thanks for the preaching. you missed the point of the impact of global networks being blocked and filtered and confirming that in real time. ill save you the hardship and filter you out. I hear mastodon has good tools for that too, try it some time.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

@kinetix I am not on fb. So the answer for me personally is they passed the threshold a long time ago... but that doesnt lessen the impact or the need to inform and confirm and expose on their current manifestations of fascism.

@JustAnotherJay currently feel like I am in this video...

@chris @martinvermeer @sinabhfuil wait... you actually believe this is new? really? like, you really are not aware of all the times they did before?

fucking hell you guys truly are ignorant to the core

@chris
I would try that if I had an instagram account.
What happens if one tries to"#communists"? Inquisitive minds need to know.

I see no problem searching for "#democrats" on mastodon, BTW.

@dl2jml ha! good question. I am no longer in the same town as my own tester having jsut gone to work. but maybe someone will give it a go today!

"If these issues are not resolved quickly they risk fuelling conspiracy theories and damaging Meta's reputation."

If you still think that Facebook has a positive reputation then we have no common ground left.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

@mycotropic indeed!

@JimmyB @laxla @MatWright thank you both for the enlightenment and reasonable discussion in providing it.

Kinetix

@[email protected] Sure, and that's totally reasonable. I just have a really tough time understanding how anyone is shocked at anything they do - I firmly believe they should have been shut down a long time ago. I used to believe this was due to lawmakers being slow to respond and act on internet-related things they don't understand, but we've also seen, at least in the US, if they want to pass bizarro laws to limit things online, it can be done quickly.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

@kinetix There are still a great number of people who have been so ignorant or so indifferent, that it is a shock. Everyone has their own moment I guess.

Brendan Kinney

@chris Both of these hashtag searches are still working for me on Insta and Threads...

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

@brendan there seems to be some fluidity happening with people's results. (note the BBC article I updated the post with this morning says it has been widely reported and insta has acknowledged it... I'm certainly not convinced it is purely 'technical’)

PedestrianError :vbus: :nblvt:

@chris The only thing surprising is the lack of an attempt to be even a little bit subtle.
