@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.

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

@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.

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

@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’)

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

@chris I'm in France and I use a modded Instagram (Instander)
When I search the hashtag Republican, the search bar indicates the number of publications and I can see them all.
When I search Democrat, I can see the publications too but there is some kind of lag before showing the results and the search bar doesn't display a thing, no suggestion, no number of publications.
Purée de merde.

@chris
Hey, remember when Mark Zuckerberg was known as a woke liberal? What the hell happened to that? The balance of power shifts and all of a sudden he's a gung-ho MAGA Republican? I guess he just has no principles whatsoever. -

@chris just now searched 'democrat' on instagram seems ok on my end. Not trying to be a byach I swear just checking.
-
@chris It's been fixed. At least on the web, I haven't yet checked the app.

@chris "Some social media users have accused the company of political bias, pointing out the issue has been occurring after President Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, which was attended by Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg.
Meta has insisted that is not the case, saying it is a technical problem which has also affected other hashtags, including a Republican one."
I have a really hard time believing that. A rightwing staffer having fun, that I believe.

@Crystal_Fish_Caves it hasn't been 100% coverage, and seems to be 'clearing' in some way? But I think it's worth it to keep checking this kind of stuff!
-
@CStamp fixed? or... "fixed”?
