Bodhipaksa1. What my daughter posted on Instagram.
2. What Instagram put over her post.
Veneris 🌻🫐🍉📢🕯️@bodhipaksa this is something i expérienced also. Now i feel banned from meta. So bye Meta. Hello others social media.
fmarl@wennmai @bodhipaksa being banned from meta is a good sign
she hacked you
@ekis Good grief. That’s terrible!
Martin Vermeer FCD@bodhipaksa @ekis And way simpler.
@ekis @bodhipaksa yes exactly. Same. It feel unsafe to express yourself on such a censored social media.
Krutonium://@bodhipaksa What's the "See why"?
@krutonium I don’t know. By the time I learned of this last night she was off to some big social event. (It was her first night on college campus.) I’ll ask, though.
Teddy / Domingo (🇨🇵/🇬🇧)@bodhipaksa 😡😡😡😡😡 #fuckinstagram !
There is an alternative on the #fediverse with #freesoftware (free as freedom). Use #pixelfed instead
#fuckgoogle and #fuckgafam apps too !

Tuchowski@bodhipaksa ehmmm? Wtf!
Ken M Sweeney@bodhipaksa maybe stop using it then? If it was any other services provider, they wouldn't get the business but the success of these platforms is that they make us think we won't survive without them when we clearly do. There are better alternatives but so many of us think otherwise.
@TheComfortableSpotPodcast She’s a teenager, at a time (college freshman move-in day yesterday) when connecting with friends is vitally important. All her friends are on it. It’s not an easy thing even for adults to walk away from these things.
Simon Brooke@bodhipaksa @TheComfortableSpotPodcast All true, and yet....
We won't stop the pernicious effects of #capitalist #clickbait focussed social media if we don't leave it ourselves, and persuade those around us to leave it, too. I do understand how hard this is, and I would hate to be an impediment to young people building their social networks in a way that works for them, but...

@bodhipaksa @TheComfortableSpotPodcast I had that issue with Facebook and Google messenger/hangouts. I left with the line "If keeping in touch with me is as important to you as my privcy and safety is to me, you'll reach me [here]".
...many did not. Oh well. I have better friends now.
Patrick@bodhipaksa when being decent and kind becomes a business threat.
Dudula the Dud@lordkhan @bodhipaksa have you not heard of "Dodge Vs Ford"? That ruled that a company exists for profit and not charity. Thanks, Dodge Bros!

@bodhipaksa One more reason the leave this digital sh*thole - if empathy is going to be restricted, it is simply not wanted on these platforms... 😔
Mario Pacchiarotti@bodhipaksa May be they use the Trump blacklist ahahah

Mateusz 🏳️🌈@bodhipaksa I think there might be no politics in it. Since Twitter started enforcing age verification they sometimes hide very random images. It’s just AI being dumb.
MatthewYou are talking about Facebook (who owns Insta) barely do anything for far-right content as they benefit from them producing hateful, ragebait slope on that platform as it generate engagement.
@mattas.bsky.social @aemstuz I’m well aware. That’s one reason I don’t have any social media accounts apart from in the Fediverse.
@mattas.bsky.social @bodhipaksa The same is true about Twitter 🤷♂️ And I still claim, in this case, it's likely just AI being dumb.
Twitter as in the one run by Elon Musk who has said cis is a slur? The one who remove community guideline of being transphobic? That Twitter?
That's seem more like they clearly design it that way than a "mistake", it's run by the Far-right people for fuck sake. Be for real.. 🙄
@mattas.bsky.social @bodhipaksa I still have a Twitter account and I see what's happening there.
Recently, they rolled out automatic porn filtering in EU an UK. Nowadays, you can't view images and videos Twitter marks as "sensitive content" unless you send a picture of your ID somewhere in Twitter settings to verify that you're an adult. The filter is buggy and there's a way to bypass it. This way I could keep my ID safe and I still can see what's being filtered.
And, as I said earlier, I saw Twitter hiding truly non-sensitive, non-political images claiming it's a sensitive content. That's why I think these kind of filters are just dumb. I think that could also be the case with Instagram. It's possible that the filter isn't targeting any political content. Maybe it just decided to hide the image with no apparent reason and it's just by chance that it happened to be something that far-right doesn't like.
RandomMusickMayhem (ON HOLD)@bodhipaksa Meta is an authoritarian regime as an app.

xs4me2As good as a confession…
Buntbart@bodhipaksa
What did she say about it? Does that change her opinion of Instagram?

@oausi I know she was surprised but she was in the middle of move-in day for her freshman year at college yesterday so there wasn’t much time to chat.
Tom Tom@bodhipaksa if you're on Instagram you are literally giving money to someone who hired a neonazi to unbias his AI engine.
So sorry but no surprise here.
@tomtom I assume that’s the generic “you.” I haven’t been on any of those platforms for years.
Martin Rust@bodhipaksa My last post on Instagram and Facebook, in January, was this video of Elon and Adolf saluting side-by-side: https://infosec.exchange/@martinrust/114409429490755205
To my surprise, I received no sanctions.
Last week I quit both platforms.

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] Bei Facebook und Instagram schon im Januar diesen Clip gepostet und damit meine Bundestagsabgeordneten aufgefordert, den Afd-Verbotsantrag anzuleiern, bevor wir noch Höcke bei seinem Amtsantritt als Bundesminister als dritten in die Reihe stellen müssen. Das bleibt wohl mein letzter Post auf diesen Plattformen. PS habe auch eine auf Quadratform aufgefüllte Version des Clips, damit sieht die Vorschau auf Instagramm besser aus. Auf Wunsch per DM.
@martinrust Congratulations! I left both a long time ago and have never missed them.

@bodhipaksa that is what they call "free speech"?🤮
PeteIn my opinion it's none of my business whether or not asylum seekers are going to make the country great. If they are fleeing persecution and need help that we are able to give then we should give it. There are literally 10s of millions of people here already who aren't making the country great, what's a few 10s of thousands more?

Hopefully, that finally taught her to get rid of everything from Meta.

@elfburgerman Unfortunately not likely. She's 18 and yesterday was her first day on her new college campus. Friends are important, and corporate social media is where her friends are.
The sad thing is they don't have any viable alternative that isn't toxic. The Fediverse is never going to work at that scale; it would have huge problems with moderation and safety, for example. So kids are stuck with this, and we (that is, our corporate-owned politicians) are not going to change anything.
@bodhipaksa
Why would the fediverse not work? Universities and colleges can have servers, and students can have ideals... There is no good argument to keep helping Mark Z. gain more wealth and develop bad AIs in reckless ways while having us 'advertise ourselves to death', as Postman probably would say...

@elfburgerman I'd like to be wrong about that!
Yes, it's a good point that universities and colleges could have their own servers. But high schools and middle schools? I don't think they have the resources for moderation.* That's the age that kids are getting into social media. And when things went badly wrong with moderation in, say, a high school social network (think bullying, suicide) it's a very different thing from when that happens in a corporate network. Weirdly.)
* The footnote is that in an ideal world we would make this happen and not allow corporate social media to distort the minds of our young people. But our politicians are owned by the capitalists, and ordinary people take the current system for granted and can't imagine any alternative. In fact they're terrified of anything else. (Which would be "socialism" of course.)
@bodhipaksa
Ordinary people put up with the devil they know until that devil becomes too threatening. Then they run for the hills. I'm amazed they haven't yet reached that tipping point.

@bodhipaksa
Schools have major budgets for management, often more than for education. Safety and moderation seem to be especially difficult problems for the corporate internet, not in the last place because that is what is brainwashing people.

Irritationshintergrund🍏@bodhipaksa that's meta logic
Arthur van der Harg@bodhipaksa Well, it *is* graphic, isn’t it? Pretty flowery adornments and all. I can understand how that would hurt the sensitivities of an audience accustomed to AI-generated “meuk” (to borrow a very useful word from Dutch).
@ArtHarg That is a good word! (Thank you, Wiktionary!)
There seems to be some overlap with the Scots word, muck (which is not quite the same as its English equivalent.)
Baba Blacksheep@bodhipaksa I'm so confused by young people staying on these platforms. Like weren't they calling Insta and FB boomer base alpha?
I always got shit for posting on FB or Insta and now that I'm off them all the people who gave me shit are still farting around there.
Brian Lavelle has moved@bodhipaksa When tolerance, acceptance and inclusion have become things to “protect” people from, we know things are truly bleak.
Drey@bodhipaksa - That is terrible.
sonja dolinsek@bodhipaksa Instagram is a fascist platform
shironeko@bodhipaksa why is she on a fascist platform?
