Don’t CW this.

@chris First, "dont CW this I beg you" is a lack of skills.

I would recommend
"Instagram enabling facism, uspol" or something which summarizes the heart of your point, captures the eye, and then lets people choose to read details.

Show some empathy for people trying to function without a constant flood of this (plus, they'll be less likely to unfollow you and can actually see stuff you post)

Second I don't know what's up in Canada but this is what I see in the US, now

@paul @chris

So, yeah. I tried it on a browser. Lots of hashtag republican content, nothing for hashtag democrat. If you search without the hashtag on "democrat" you get content, but most of it is from Newsmax (which is to the right of Fox News) talking about how corrupt the democrats are.

So there seem to be legitimacy to this.

@JimmyB @MatWright @chris *Kahanist, not Khalanist. I'm pretty sure there's no movement aiming to genocide all forms of bread but Khalas from the face of the earth.

But yes, that'd work.

@TheDailyBurble it is definitely real

Philip Nelson

@chris I just tried and cannot confirm this. I got legit results for both hashtags

Jörg Müller

@chris At least "thedemocrats" with 620k Followers still is online, also other accounts with names that contain "democrat".

@laxla

It's nice to be able to smile today. Thank you.

@chris I’m personally unable to reproduce this in Canada.

Still troubling.

@EdwinG interesting. The overall consensus, from what is now thousands of people just seeing this post, is that there are definitely words being filtered in a politically inconsistent way

@praesolgka true.

@panmanphil interesting. You are the second person in the last hour to be successful. Has a change occurred?

@chris
Just searched on Insta. Works for me:

@platypus thanks Ruth.
My point in aasking this to not be CW’ed was in order to have maximum coverage because of the extreme and fundamental importance of the message. It is no longer an exaggeration to say we are witnessing an authoritarian regime in the United States flexing hyper political control of the media landscape. People need to know.

@chris Buddy, I live in the US. My body is affected by the laws. My family's trans and queer members are affected by the laws. I have to live every damn day here.

Please work on your main character syndrome and pause before posting to ask yourself whether you are posting the One True Post that has to be broadcast as far as possible and whether it could still get significant reach because of its importance...

... with a well-written CW.

@chris @terra For an additional data point, I’m in the US and was able to see results. But dang this is important to call out, thank you.

And yes this is beyond #USPol, the world is affected by the fact that mainstream social media platforms are under a fashy regime.

@chris Interesting. I just tried it and both worked for me. I wonder if they changed something since yesterday or if something else is occurring. Either way, I do plan to move on from Instragram and Facebook soon.
