Do the lols while you still can, the Trust and Safety departments at major social media companies want to extinguish funny.
Everyone who does even a smidgen of memeing on the internet knows what happens when you post images of large spiders. People start talking about burning things down, like the entire building its inside of, etc. Someone posted a video where a little girl had one crawling on her hand, it was bigger than her face. I said "Girl get away from that spider, we have to set the house on fire" and the AI anti-funny overlords at Facebook deleted my comment, and gave me some sort of "strike" and then I appealed, and was auto denied.
Our favorite Sci-Fi dystopias coming soon, to a Trust and Safety social media site nightmare near you.
- recursivedoubts 3y agoThe only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already cancelled. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a shiposter is supposed to function: without mercy, without anxiety, without remorse. All shiposting depends upon it.
- giancarlostoro 3y agoI mean, I just stopped using Facebook instead, I was an admin for my employer at the times Facebook app (used for login) so I did not want to risk it. It's Facebooks loss.

- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoMeanwhile someone was using my late brother's name and face(in a list of supposed "vaccine casualties". My brother died from heart failure after lifelong illness, age 39) to spread vile antivaxx/protrump stuff. All reports denied. It was glaringly obvious she was a paid misinfo troll.
- somat 3y agoJust a question, I don't pay much attention to politics, are the two related? are anti vaxers pro trump? The vaccine was developed on Trumps watch. I figured it was just like any other boss, takes all the credit if it works. desperately tries to shift blame if it does not.
- pgeorgi 3y agoThere's some correlation, and while Trump tried to take credit for Operation Warp Speed for a while[0], he distanced himself from everything related to "Covid is a threat" (including "it needs vaccines") when the tide shifted in his voter base and they went fiercely antivax, antidistancing, antilockdown, ... [0] the process was pretty much the same speed for non-participants in non-participant countries, but okay: his administration made it a priority. Gold star for you!
- giancarlostoro 3y agoI used to watch loads of political speeches, including Biden and Trumps because otherwise you take someone else's word for what they say, and I still remember the boo's he got in one of his early speeches after Biden was sworn in, the entire crowd booed when he said to go out and get vaccinated, then he said "if you want to" after he realized his 'goof.' It was like he was not paying any attention to his base since losing the White House (again this was like his second (I think?) rally since). Then he changed his strategy with his base on it after. So you're not wrong. I think he still brings it up, but briefly.
- bombcar 3y agoIt amuses me, personally, seeing the "antivax" crowd quickly being equalized to all the other various "bad" people - 20 years ago, there was a strong but quiet "antivax" crowd and it was definitely not made up of Trump or even R-leaning people. It was quite the "hippy liberal progressive" if you had to qualify it. But then again, twenty years ago you had all sorts of political positions you could take, now everything is simply binary. You have no agency.
