Who would think that a company whose site is basically a safe haven for racists and trolls at this point with no moderation would push away your average person and need to dump staff

Here in Australia, you can barely even comment on anything anymore without some tryhard being racist or abusing the government. Even worse, lots of people with criminal incitement that gets ignored

Literally saw a photo of cane toads. Some wanker commented “that’s Albo penny Wong and dan andrews”. There was no reason to be political at all

It’s just no longer fun on there. And there is no way to block all posts by people you don’t know by default from your wall

Except the ones that submit AI slop patches to projects without even understanding it or being upfront about it

How many are bots?

Its like facebook. Engagement is up, audience is increased, but, its likely by a small number of people. I started noticing that in the Aussie subs, that every week, near the weekend (right before night), there were obvious lobbyist posts, which suddenly shot up (stuff like pro guns, pro- one nation etc). At this point, our local racism party was clearly doing heavy lobbying on the platform (despite losing 30 years of elections, based on reddit, you’d think they were #1).

Like facebook, a lot of people are switching off now, and trying to find alternatives.

Moderation has also gotten really bad recently. I had an account for 14+ years, never got banned. Made a new account, and within a few months, I got a temp ban for apparently being racist (despite the fact, I spent a lot of time arguing AGAINST racism).

On facebook in fact, on the heatpump posts, I actually noticed 1 or 2 names pop up on almost all the adverts saying they were an engineer, and that heatpumps don’t work, etc (with bad info). Reddit allows infinite accounts, and no doubt, it is not much better there

Sailfish is also a great option too

That’s unfortunately pretty standard.

Whereas, on Facebook, nobody gets banned. I’ve literally reported people inciting violence towards others. However, it seems permitted by community standards these days

I really wish Jolla got their crap together honestly

If you’re not shadow banned

I suspect they shadow banned me first for a few days, and probably pissed off a few racists who kept watching my account.

I had an account for 10+ years before deleting it and creating a new one. My old account never even got banned from a subreddit once in all that time. And I had other accounts Before that, so I suspect I was targeted on the last account I bothered with

You keep saying I’m weird or whatever. But, if you said this stuff in person, people would find you weird.

It’s literally the kind of thing our local racist here in Australia says.

It’s not bad for anyone. It’s just some weird power move

I’m blocking you now. Good bye

Probably not. There used to be shitty subs like the Donald and fat people hate too.

Yeah. And they were apparently “never going to win in SA either”. Everyone was happy with that result. SA is happy they lost, and ON supporters were somehow happy with being absolute failures too 😂

Elther that, or sometimes there is no benefit to swearing. And it’s fairly clear in not doing it to satisfy a machine.

But ok Mr gatekeeper. I don’t think ignorant means what you think it does

I prefer normal people who don’t give a sh** about stupid stuff like this. So agree to disagree. Not responding again

Go bully someone else instead

The Australian Subreddits got overrun by extremist right wing people who tend to be 20x louder than anyone else, and exaggerate everything.

One even reported me for being racist (successfully) despite the fact that the entire time I was fighting back against the racism

Even worse, you now need to log in to even see it at all in a mobile browser. So f that

It would also run Bitcoin mining, and send the money to Pauline, and then pretend it’s doing you a favour and saving taxpayer money

You’re right. I don’t

It’s one of those things that “anti woke” people would say to bully people who don’t stoop to their level lol

Actually, its super bizarre to make a big deal over something mundane like this. Guessing you’re that guy in real life who needs all your friends to be yes men, and agree with you.

No, I’m not changing it. You’ll survive, Karen… Maybe you should be more concerned about Trump’s scams…

Are you seriously getting offended by that 😂

You’ll assault them?

Like all those maga people who hate pedophiles (apparently)

He didn’t rob everyone… stormy Daniels however might be the only one he publicly actually ever paid (even if he tried to get a refund).

I’m willing to bet there are a lot of underage women and other women who he paid though who haven’t come forward

It was always going to be some sh** AliExpress Android phone anyway. There was definitely also going to be some kind of spyware/ harvesting happening

Here in Australia, this would likely be fraud by deception

Problem is, it’s been overrun by rage bait for clicks and vocal extremists.

It’s weird watching people think their opinion is popular because a handful of people are shouting it everywhere on Facebook.

It’s no longer fun, and there is no way to force only posts by people you know. So all the racist garbage gets lots of engagement and is also added to your feed
