@GottaLaff good morning Laffy.
Overnight there seems to have been censorship happening on Instagram for #democrat vs. #republican
See the now large thread of replies confirming this worldwide here: https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/113864600222476627
It may have now changed in the past hour or two. It seems both searches are working.
Regardless, it is a very bad look.

@chris I don’t care if it has changed. For an unknown period of time, that hashtag was blocked. I’ve followed you long enough that I trust your reporting of what you’ve personally witnessed. Keep calling it out.

@CAWguy thanks.
There is BBC article now too. -
@chris I don’t have Insta so I can’t test it myself: that’s why I rely on so many here for “taking one for the team” by keeping their pulse on those other platforms.
-
@CAWguy well, my version of pulse keeper, my wife, may soon be extricated from those hellscapes as well, she was noticing a bunch of her friends leaving FB for Bluesky. The exodus is real!

Yeah, Bluesky is just another scumbag

@chris @GottaLaff To confirm, I'm in the US and just checked, the following searches on Instagram are still returning no results for me, as if the hashtag doesn't exist:
#democrat
#democrats
#democraticparty
#voteblue
#postcardstovoters
#abortion
#climatecrisisH/T @foodnpolitics for additional hashtags to check

@chris because of volume or...?
-
@john no, I believe once it gets large enough that Zuck, Musk and the like think it a threat it will either get bought out or the current owners/backers will be arm twisted into the same bootlicking the rest of corporate social media America is in.
