Zuckerberg going full nazi... That's one of the many reasons we can't have Mastodon and Threads in federation
-
Mastodon doesn't have any fact checking either.
Not sure how that would work, but it may be something worth exploring.-
That's a great point you made. As the fediverse grows it will become much more harder to control... The good thing is that the suggestion algorithm of Mastodon is more based in the community you build by following others
-
i think the only way it could work is with the community notes model, but perhaps with more of a “your choice” fediverse flare: perhaps your instance can bless specific users whose notes get higher pirority etc

“Yeah it's gonna be full, 100%, Covid-batshit anti-everything bullshit. All day every day.” Zuckerberg said. “Yee fuckin’ haw you poor bastards!” He added from the sunroof of his speeding limousine.

So more Luigi support?

No one has actively died because of this decision. I don't consider this Luigiable. It is, however, grounds for abandoning the platform like y'all should have done a decade or more ago.

Yet.... unfortunately this will spread hate to stupid and hate and stupid do God awful things together.

Y'all?

This is the problem with the whole "glorification of a murderer" thing. Nobody gets to dictate who gets killed except the murderer. If everyone decided to do the same, it's not just the people you think "deserve it" who would be killed.

I already noticed a significant uptick in bullshit "news" sources in my feed over the last month. Facebook has become a cess pool. Either most of the people on my friends list aren't posting anymore or else my feed is being deliberately diluted. I'm only seeing about 1 friend post for every 20 ads.

They aren't just getting rid of fact checkers, they are also allowing “allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like ‘weird.’” So they are saying it is completely okay to call trans or gay people mentally ill because their existence is "political".
This article doesn't even fucking mention that. At the bottom it says they're changing some rules about "gender" but not what those rules are or what those changes mean.
This is insane.
Bet they won't like us calling Republicans weird deranged psychopaths
