    I’ve been playing around with Facebook for the last couple of weeks and the censorship is so crazy these days is isn’t funny. But only if you post anti Trump and Elon content, even as a non American. I’ve already had a couple of posts flagged for ‘misinformation’ since after Zuckerberg made this announcement and I’ve seen it happening to other actual Americans too. These ‘free speech’ people are all fucking jokes and liars and the biggest pearl clutchers whenever someone exercises their free speech to speak against them.

    I don’t see it. Was something changed in translation? Looks pretty identical to me.

    Edit: it’s his name

    “Simplify our policies” -> reduce checks and balances, making the world a little more awful but a little more profitable for me.

    “Restoring free speech” -> Allowing more hate speech, which is coincidentally more profitable.

    I believe Cuckerberg doesn’t understand what “return to our roots” means. If they genuinely wanted to return to their roots, they’d get rid of all advertising, politics, and CSM on their platforms; like it was when they were first starting out.

      I recently began using Pixelfed. It is actually Instagram if it returned to it’s roots. I was an early user of Instagram and I remember what it was like before Facebook bought it.

      No ads, no cynical political disinfo, no “stories” and “reels”, no sponsored posts, no content manipulation algorithm, no bullshit. Pixelfed is Instagram if it was completely gutted and returned to how it used to be. A million times better.

      Sadly the small userbase is it’s only drawback. But you can learn to live with that.

    I tried to use it on Japanese. It was an incomprehensible mess and said a woman was suing herself and testifying against herself or some nonsense. This was very much not what the article said (though it was about a court case).
