lmao the verge wrote about crackergate (sounds like moderation has been going haywire in numerous ways)

"crackergate" 😭

📌

I can tell censorship on Facebook must be insane because I just saw a VIDEO (educational) that briefly had text on screen referring to COVID-19, but it blanked out half of the word. Again, that word being ... COVID-19 ??

This all boils down to big tech not wanting to pay real people to moderate its platforms properly. Meta is the biggest social media company in the world, and they still can't automate this stuff effectively.

WAIT THEY LINKED MY POST 💀💀💀💀💀

I got a strike on TikTok for commenting on a video that said the cut flower industry has a seedy underbelly. I commented that it wasn't just the underbelly, it was rotten all the way through. I harassed or bullied the cut flower industry and had it upheld on appeal.

I created an account on Insta so I could join Threads. A week later my Threads acct was suspended due to not verifying my identity. I had to go to my Insta acct to fix it. Insta acct was locked, too, with no way to unlock and verify. They are not serious people.

I can't think of a single situation where someone could call me a cracker and it wouldn't be 100% justified.

The people banning 'cracker' are going to be really upset when they eventually piece together what people mean by 'whyte'
