Who knew! What a community!

[malaise]

1. ROFL

Proud of you

[ancianita]

2. ...

Thank you!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

3. That's what you get for being a radical liberal commie with your radical liberal agenda!!!!1

Minions of the Grotesque Orange Pustule are probably cheering and covidifying each other over your banishment.

[ancianita]

5. Yep. I switched my privacy setting to "public" for a couple of weeks. Shoulda known better.

My first reaction was laughter but this suspension shows me how many of the "community" can't take a joke but can sure demonize "Demoncrats."

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. The double standard is just one more reason I don't do facebook.

[ancianita]

9. I hear you.

But recently I've had the most fascinating and heartfelt discussions on it with young people about those who pray, this covid situation, science, and the Democratic penchant for stereotyping rural people on the right.

[triron]

37. Fuck facebook!

[raccoon]

4. Thanks for posting. I like those. Nt

[ancianita]

6. Right?

11. Hits close to home.

Trump has done great harm to the United States.

[ancianita]

12. Yes, some free speech is freer than others.

The kind that a militarized police state likes.
The one where the Right can dish out armed threat but won't take a sneer.

13. i didn't get a 3 day you are my hero...i did get a ban however for the kittens nursing

although i think it might be because i labeled it titty bar. ...the 5 babies were lined up in a row like they were sitting at a bar...

[ancianita]

17. Haha... and it's not my first time! Beware! The Fuckerberg censors now have us on close watch!

"Titty bar"?? "Titty bar"??

I bet what you posted was adorable.

[Karadeniz]

14. Congratulations! You must've done something right!

[SunSeeker]

15. OMFG. Are you kidding me? You got a timeout for that??

[bullwinkle428]

16. Anyone who opposes a really well-done "Downfall" parody is automatically DEAD TO ME.

[hay rick]

18. After I saw it on DU I posted the same clip on Facebook...

Crickets. Guess it doesn't violate community standards in my blood red part of Florida. I'll keep trying...

[ancianita]

19. Have you changed your post to "Public"? That did it for me. Usually I specify "Friends except..."

This could get interesting. Because I'm in Florida, too.
Just no FB friends there. But then some friends of friends might have reported me to see what would happen.

[hay rick]

23. I posted it to public on December 5.

[ancianita]

26. That's it. Timing. You posted it when Trumpies were in pfft denial.

I posted it when they KNEW they'd lost and believed the hype that they were robbed.

If you presented a few more from the very popular Hitler series, maybe rw censors (not necessarily FB censors) would notice.

[StClone]

20. Sadly you exhibit no Hitler tendencies

Facebook, well hell yes, they're Nazi's burning posts and forcing you into exile. Pretty ironic.

[ancianita]

24. Yeah but I've used the words Nazi and fascist a lot, which must be more extremist than

the usual 'commie hippie' epithets I've read from Nazi snowflakes.
Thing is, I'm always attacking Big Corp and corporatist Republicans -- which is any of them -- and never humans.

[StClone]

30. Commie hippies are welcome

Unlike FB you know you got lottsa fellow travelers here.

[ancianita]

36. Right on!

[BobTheSubgenius]

21. I was having a bantering, jesting conversation with someone I've known for almost 40 years.

At one point, I responded to one of her comments with "Well, you know us men. We are pigs."

Hate Speech. Facebook Jail.

[ancianita]

25. See how tone is lost in print? And FB would never think of a sarcasm emoji. That's

what I've got to do from now on, use the Bill Maher disclaimer "I kid! I kid!"

[BainsBane]

28. That's ridiculous

[rainin]

22. This was great! Thanks for posting. n/t

[BainsBane]

27. I'm going to post it

[ancianita]

31. If you've never been banned you'll just get a warning. Unless you post a few, maybe.

Gotta say it doesn't take much effort to find yourself in the Orwellian zone these days, though.

Proud Boys and Boogalosers have occupied FB longer than lefties like us.

[BainsBane]

32. Except I don't have any Trumpsters as friends

so there really isn't anyone to report me.

[ancianita]

35. I don't, either. And you don't need them. There must be plenty among FB content moderators.

[BainsBane]

38. I see

I guess I'll find out.

[BainsBane]

40. Nothing so far.

[ancianita]

41. Interesting. Did you post it as "Public"? That will include a Trump audience.

[BainsBane]

42. No

I rarely post anything as public. I post for friends only.

[ancianita]

43. Me, too. But I switched posts to public to see what would happen. I found out.

When I get back on in a few days, I'll post friends only.

The thing is, what is the community? It's a huge 223 million member balloon with millions of types of bubbles. That doesn't broaden discourse, which any community lives with, but fragments it. One bubble doesn't get sarcasm, one bubble mobilizes for armed gatherings, one shares pet, meal, baby, selfie, nature posts and photos. One upside of going public was the number of likes and comments I got from total strangers, along with the downside of being reported.

It's not a planned thing but it's true that every single urban center in the U.S. is liberal with Democratic Party sympathies, and most rural areas are conservative with Republican sympathies. Maybe FB is that kind of "archipelago."

I'm thinking that 223 million people's differences must be too wide ranging to be tolerated the way the usual notion of communities would tolerate difference. And that, given the popularity of the Hitler video parodies, which probably cuts across a lot of bubbles, the Facebook community standards might be set by the number of "reports" rather than the larger number who get parody and sarcasm. Or maybe the standards are just in FB headquarters.

My kids call it digital book burning.

[BainsBane]

44. If that video was public

You probably did get a lot of reports. Magats might even be searching for it.

Facebook definitely is an insular bubble, unless you choose to expose yourself to a wider range of people. In my case, I can't be civil with Trump supporters, so I can't handle having them as friends.

[ancianita]

45. Yep. It was just a test. I failed the 'community standards.'

I just can't conclude that there really is a community there to claim standards for.

It's Zuckerberg's business, and I got the business end of it.

[BainsBane]

46. Definitely nt

[Towlie]

29. Don't take it personally, Facebook is guided 100% by profit. They're about as moral as Jaws.

 
?

[ancianita]

33. Oh heck no. Yes, it's everything you say.

[Demonaut]

34. this is brilliant!
