Comment on a post of mine on Instagram recently

"You look gay in that" - see attached photo

My response? Post on a toxic platform. Get toxic people. Blocked. Reported. Not that it'll do any good because meta is a right wing enabling cesspit.

I've pretty much cut my Meta output to zero, and the stuff I post is emblazoned with intrusive links to my Fediverse.

Live. Laugh. Federate!

For those of you who lurk on my posts but still chat there. I'm closing my chat. I'm through with Meta.

In the greatest of ironies I was talking about backing away from #Meta and in particular #Instagram

This morning I went to check my alternative account (more latex and leather content, still safe for work - I'm not like that!) and I'd been logged out.

I logged in with my 2FA and I got the dreaded popup - my account had been flagged for adult content and I needed to do the training course.

Bearing in mind none of my content is adult, but apparently now latex is?! So I did the course. Unlocked my account. Removed 5 photos which were marked as hidden for "adult content" including the one I've attached to this post - seriously - and then I deleted the rest, cleared the account, and put up a couple of parking posts saying to people "follow me here, or don't".

The account is still there - I can't post stories, can't hashtag, can't mention people, can't comment. For 7 days.

I hate Meta. I hate Facebook with it's toxic racist and homophobic boomers. I hate the double standards where a "small boats" post draws out the hard of thinking with their racist hate spew and yet a glimpse of latex fashion and it's "get it off here!!!"

I just wish I could persuade my friends to join the #fediverse and stop feeding billionaires AI bots.

So the photo? Yep... I'm in latex... This is "offensive" according to Instagram!
