Facebook is actively removing postings I'm making today.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@BillMcGuire @AlliFlowers That sounds correct to me — behind it, as in setting policies for the entire organization.

And the use of algorithms and how FB chooses to censor or not censor is all deliberately shrouded in mystery, deliberately opaque. There's not even a clear way to protest when something you've posted is taken down. In some cases, I've simply had a notice that a posting was removed, and the notice does not even tell me what the posting was.

@wdlindsy The Chinese (and now Hong Kongers) have long since learnt to talk in code when discussing politics under their oppressive regime(s).

@wdlindsy

What a pompous buffoon you turned out to be.

That paragraph "But please dont cherish the illusion, etc" is nonsensical religious claptrap. Take the moral high ground. Erect the cross.

Please. You hate having your inconsistency exposed. Your reliance on logic yet carrying a total blindspot where god is concerned like a cross before you.

I'd gladly give credit to any bible-thumper who stopped and thought "I wonder is it all a con?"

Ally? I suspect you're a flag waver like the MAGAs

[luuk_aalders@mastodon.nl]

@wdlindsy

Tha is, because Zucherburg, like all other biljonairs, support MAGA and Trump

@wdlindsy Meta also worked out from cookies dropped by other online stores I had been working on fleet cars as well as my own, there are ads / promoted posts (even with adblocker) for bulk engine oil, a COB LED workshop torch - these are put well ahead of my friends posts and posts from groups I am part of (as they are for things like the 90s rave subculture, that is considered to be linked to "lower socio economic groups")

@wdlindsy

When I was on Facebook I was constantly picking up bans simply for calling someone who was clearly an idiot ‘an idiot’. Even got banned for using the same phrase but in a foreign language (French, Spanish, Portuguese)

There were also bans for using ‘English’ words that offend the sensibilities of stupid fucking septics.

@wdlindsy
Both of these postings have been around for quite a while. I had them in my feed months ago, and shared them with no issue. But they did remove 2 other things I shared, that made no sense. Their power trip is appalling.

[mishavanmollusq@sfba.social]

@wdlindsy you need to bribe the admins to ignore you

[mishavanmollusq@sfba.social]

@wdlindsy this has been happening to me for a long time.
Try posting almost anything from the tv series The Man In The High Castle

[mishavanmollusq@sfba.social]

@wdlindsy oh…you don’t know about the snitches do you .
You have at least 10 in your friends list

[gunchleoc@mastodon.scot]

@wdlindsy Friends of mine ran a Facebook fan page for an artist. They somehow made it onto the AI's (random?) shitlist, which means that they could throw some dice whether a link to a source would be allowed or not. They gave up running the page.

[piousunyn@universeodon.com]

@wdlindsy Happened to me a long time ago on FB, I was complaining about Israel burning Palestine orchards. One knows there are people recruited or hired by entity's to do what we see happening. Plus I get a 500 popping up just now.

[piousunyn@universeodon.com]

@wdlindsy Freedom of speech is not an option, you know just like the truth.

[kierkegaanks@beige.party]

@wdlindsy try this ostensibly meta safe edit unless you risk getting blocked

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Kierkegaanks Thank you. Yes, I wondered if those words were the trigger. But the other person who told me she'd post the graphic and see what happened did that, without blanking out those words, and Facebook did not take it down.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Piousunyn Correct.

[oof@mastodon.sdf.org]

@wdlindsy

Three possible causes, none mutually exclusive...

1) An illiterate AI picture recognizer saw the swastikas, and presumed the worst thereafter. FB surely doesn't have the labor budget to review very many of these.

2) Perhaps contemporary crypto-nazis are exploiting these defective post-flagging algorithms, spitefully steering them in the opposite direction of their designers intent.

3) Malice, or virtual malice by way of greed-driven reckless negligence, on FB's part.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Piousunyn You're right. I see that 500 box pop up on my page, too, and have never had any idea what it means.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@gunchleoc Interesting….

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@MishaVanMollusq I do take for granted that there are snitches on anyone's social media feed. How to know who they are is the challenge, isn't it?
