Facebook’s whining pop-up about Apple hampering ad tracking is about ‘keeping Facebook free.’
I think Facebook should institute a monthly subscription fee immediately just to see how funny the result would be.

lol - so my friend gets an obvious scammy "hey I'll be ur sugar daddy, here's $1k a week" FB message and she shared it with me, and we were having a laugh about it on FB. in a separate thread on a mutual friend's page, I parodied the post as a joke, and FB reported that i was banned for 30 days for "sexual recruitment", and then they rejected the appeal. but it still let me post for a full fucking *12 days* before this morning, they finally began enforcing it.
all for a joke callback post on a friend's page. but the person who posted the original post? nah, they weren't banned at all!
it's a hilariously terrible mess of a site, but the vacation is probably a good thing for me anyway.

Whenever I flag and report a racist post, Facebook eventually gets back to me with a message telling me it didn't violate any of their policies, but feel free to block the post if I don't want to see it. I should really leave that goddamn site but I have 7,000 lonely boomers depending on me to moderate their comic strip fan page, so I stay.

I've usually been successful getting some (if not most) racist content taken down, but transphobic shit basically goes unpunished.
Mods are Alt-Righters, no shock there I guess.

xp the strip is Pogo. And I was wrong, actually, we're up to 8,000 boomers by now. My brother and I started the group for no particular reason back in college, when Facebook was new and there were a million joke groups with like two members each. I did nothing to promote it; it just took off on its own and now I'm stuck moderating the damn thing.

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 2 June 2021 16:33 (two years ago) link
so when the community guidelines say that transgender people are a protected group and someone is posting how transgender women aren't women, calls then Frankensteins, and other horrible things that I don't want to say here that are obviously in violation of the Community Standards, and then when reported, they insist even upon appeal that these comments don't violate community standards, they have no blame in the matter at all?
Like I know some of the review is done by bots/automated and I'm not defending Facebook as a company, but when I see people getting banned for saying Trump voters are "stupid" and not for extremely racist/transphobic stuff, none of these employees are letting their personal biases into the fray?
their community standards are fairly poor but even they're clear that this shit isn't allowed and it goes unpunished, even on pages which are supposed to be safe spaces for these people. comments criticizing the transphobic get removed as "bullying" where the offensive transphobic comments stay up.

well for sure some moderators working for whatever partner facebook farms out content moderation to will have extreme right-wing views - they look at extreme right-wing stuff on facebook all day, it's got to work on some of them. but their work is also insecure and highly scrutinized. if they were making many mistakes by not moderating things that they should they would be fired. if it's a systemic for users it's not an accident
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 2 June 2021 16:46 (two years ago) link
systemic problem
I should really start keeping a file of all the horrible comments I report that turn out not to violate community standards, because it happens ALL THE TIME.
xp to Boring, Maryland: Oh, the Jack Acid Society comes up from time to time. There are some real Pogo experts in the group and they have a fine old time talking to each other about all the minutiae of Walt Kelly's art. I actually feel fine about the group itself; it seems to provide some interest and connection for a lot of people my parents' age, and I moderate it carefully enough to keep it from turning into a dumpster fire like most Facebook groups. I just wish it weren't on Facebook, because it keeps me trapped there.

Haha, a Facebook ban is probably good, you know? I woke up today and started yelling at some baseball analyst because he was making fun of the new name that replaced a racist name of a baseball team. I did this within 10 minutes of waking up and also picked a fight with the racist commenters on fangraphs. This is not good for us, or for humanity
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Friday, 23 July 2021 14:59 (two years ago) link
to be fair, I'm very very glad they changed that team name, but the "Guardians" is indeed dumb and they copped out by not going back to the Spiders with their 1887 logo.

hot takes of the day:1. all mascot names are bad, but ones that replace racist mascot names are less bad and are therefore good2. picking fights w ppl on twitter is never good, just find reportable tweets and mute/block and forget they exist3. getting tempbanned from fb is good fullstop
― class project pat (m bison), Friday, 23 July 2021 15:05 (two years ago) link
xp Yeah, i think that’s the natural reaction! and people are just reacting to the new name. But upon waking, my first thoughts were “I don’t recall the baseball ZiPS guy ever criticizing the name of the Cleveland Indians, or the stadium full of white people in Atlanta doing the tomahawk chop while also impersonating native Americans, but yet he suddenly has a lot of criticisms for the replacement name”Which is just...I’m going camping for real. I’m packing right now, in fact I’m running late. I’m camping way down in the Ozarks, where there are no racists. No more Twitter for me today. And no more Facebook for you today, Nean! <3
