   TIL that on #Meta platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrants… with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a #Fediverse project like #Pixelfed, the post is automatically removed.

   Meta “moderation” policies in 2025: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and sexism are allowed; mention of competition is strictly forbidden.

     @_elena Leaving #instagram and #threads for good in a couple of months. Have been very active here on #mastodon and also just got my #pixelfed registration approved by the admins. ❤️

     @_elena I guess calling Trump a fascist will be removed as well.

     @_elena Tzz, yea, Meta at its best🤦🏻♂️

     In such cases I am always thinking: how can some Streisand Effect be activated to turn such policies against them?
     Like finding a certain metaphor, code or way of spelling (Fediverse links etc) - funny, catchy or whatever - that evades autoblocking while at the same time creating even more attention and emphasis to the subject matter 🤔…
     Tricky though.

     Also hope such cases eventually help the last ppl to understand that Meta‘s not about free speech at all.

     I’m pretty sure that there are laws in every country in Europe to punish these hate speeches ( and the editors of these publications. )

     It is time to ban shitter and meta in Europe.

     @_elena Unfortunately, Meta is apparently going back to the state from before 2016. But while this isn't exactly news, it comes with other major change. For the first time (I believe so) billionaires supported politics in power openly and publicly. Before 2024, they used to do it from the back seat. We'll see if they change their politics again for the next elections in 2028.

     @_elena As a thought experiment: Write a terrible, offensive slur against LGBTQIA+ individuals and immigrants AND mention #Pixelfed in the exact same sentence.

     Is it still deleted?

     @_elena And I will continue to refuse to apologize for openly speculating on the astonishing level of denial and/or stupidity exhibited by the masses who keep whining, sniveling but STAYING engaged with billionaire slime. They ALL suck shit: #X #Meta #Instagram
