unless its against zionism
Or if you make a self-deprecating joke about being white and get banned for 3 months.... Like I did once (Yet oddly the various reports I made about death threats against me on the basis of me being trans "Do not violate Facebook's terms of service" according to the automated responses)
I actually stopped using facebook to protect my META Account since I..... used to do VR before I got too lazy to do VR.... and developers got too lazy to make games for VR...
We must all collectively, start using Forums again.
"Well my Discord server is.."
I SAID FORUMS!
Discord is an alternative to IRC, the fact that people use it as a replacement for forums is baffling
Not baffling, infuriating, we've all gotten lazier over time and we want everything in one place.
Thing is, when we were on forums and IRC, we only had to play by the rules of the admins.... Now we're under the thumbs of corporations...
how much longer will we allow them to conspire against us?
we have to take the steps to not use their platform, or better yet, start a Fediverse server of their own.
I was able to do it myself! the cost of running a Lemmy and Mastodon instance for myself is so cheap... I'm actually shocked more people aren't doing it!

I mean what for? It costs even less to use an existing Lemmy or Mastodon server given the minimal load you add.
@Carighan cause I don't have to play by someone elses rules if they decide to change them when they want.
the Reddit API situation opened my eyes. I pay less than 20 bucks a month and host my family and friends, worth it 🙂
Besides using the fediverse, how do we not allow it?
Fuck Mark Zuckerberg.
Fuck Elon Musk.
Fuck Jack Dorsey.
Fuck Daniel Ek.
Fuck all these fucks.
Oligarchs be oligarching
Now you know who they're for. Not like we did t know from the beginning, which is why I never used it
Freeze Speech ftw!
The irony of Meta/Facebook - infamous for tracking people online - being upset about jet tracking.
Rules and laws are only for the peasantry. Your level of freedom is proportional to your wealth, so Meta has a whole lotta Freedom™️
It's not even tracking... Tracking is what the FAA does, and makes publicly available. These accounts are just publishing the already-public information.
Fuck every one of these shitty billionaires. Fly commercial if you don't want to be tracked publicly.

Zuckerberg’s $300 million mega yacht may be tracked here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9857511
It is currently in San Diego at Broadway Pier. Which was also confirmed by yesterday’s news of a methed up Florida man being arrested at gun point for sneaking aboard and throwing things off into the water LOL https://youtu.be/L7nnKn1W4Mw

This all feels very Streisand Effect. I don’t care about these accounts, but the more attempts there are to suppress them… the more they feel important.

Fuck corporate social media
Seriously threads and bluesky are false promises, the rest of the fediverse might grow and innovate slowly but it is genuine growth on genuinely community owned platforms.
Bluesky and threads are visions of the past wearing the future's clothes. They are investor backed and fundamentally and irrevocably for profit ventures.
Do not be seduced into wasting your time in stuck in the past, this is a perfect reminder we already know where it will end no matter what their precariously employed devs say.

They can ban that but can't do anything about misinformation, scammers, bots and shit
That's how you recognize bullshit. If there was a kernel of truth worth protecting the offending posts would be removed.
Officially, "its too hard". Realistically, they don't do shit because those shits bring in money by paying for exposition

Mango Mussolini's flights are paid for by the tax payers through the USAF and those flights should be tracked.

@elonjet@mastodon.social is still functional, for those who want to follow from the Fediverse.

But when you report obvious fake accounts that merely exist for 5 days, follow 5000 people already and only have 3 followers themselves but a nice spammy link in their profile, they allegedly don’t violate any terms of services…
