Just over four years ago, an insurrectionist mob found each other online, descended on Washington, stormed the Capitol and threatened the vice-president with a noose. But that was the good old days. We’re living in a different reality now. One in which the billionaires have been unchained.
I’m forced to use Instagram for engagement as a performing artist and producer.
My community is FREQUENTLY at odds with its automated content moderation, which heavily favors conservative values. Posts get censored for “sexual activity” even when there’s no nudity, and performer accounts are more often shadow banned than not. Even posts in which I’m fully dressed in winter street clothes get censored as “sexual activity”
Meanwhile, I have NEVER seen Instagram take action a single time on posts that promote CSAM or that are made by literal white supremacist Nazis. Like clockwork, every time I report one it comes back with “this content does not violate Instagram’s guidelines”
Fuck Instagram. Fuck META. Nazi pieces of shit.
Was so glad to ditch IG once I stopped freelancing
I dread this shit. I have nothing to do with social media (unless Lemmy counts) and I haven’t for almost 15 years now, but I’m finishing up a mobile app that I’m going to start selling in a couple of months and I think I’ll have to make accounts on all of these sites to promote it.
