“Instagram blocked searches related to a number of political hashtags, including #democrats, #democrat, #jan6th, #republicans and a number of other terms Tuesday.”
Given the corporate media sane-washing and general kissing of the ring, I choose to believe what has been shared with me directly over the “actchually, it was an awkward gesture of exuberance” milquetoast media.
Especially when the list looks like this:
Hastags that have also apparently been blocked from user experiences. Will keep updating. Range is worldwide.
“This isn’t a fight between republican and democrat. It’s between communism and freedom.”
A map showing Republicans as an overwhelming majority.
Photo about Democrats being more likely to call white people terrorists, while Republicans are more likely to call every other race terrorists.
They’re not in the majority, but not subtle enough to avoid worming their way into peoples opinions.

My wife just checked. Its now showing some pretty heinous things on the demo crat side…I dont think prior to the election that would have been tolerated. They definitely changed the “algorithm”.

Roughly a week ago Insta started hitting me hard with right-wing memes and creationist bullshit.

tolerant
Really? Try making a post supporting conservatism or attacking socialism and see how that goes for you. Most likely it’ll get down voted to oblivion, and in many communities mods will remove it. And it doesn’t really matter if it’s a high quality post either with tons of scholarly sources and whatnot.
The Fediverse is tolerant of leftists and progressives, and a bit less tolerant of libertarians. If there’s any hint of conservatism or centrism, the veneer of tolerance disappears.
I don’t know the solution here, but I think allowing users to choose their moderation is a piece of it.

I really should have added a /s lol. I have experienced what ur talking about first hand but then again I don’t fucking give 2 shits if I get downvotes.
I banned from the news communities so I made my own !news_summary@lemmy.dbzer0.com with blackjack and AI summary hookers. And a moderation policy that’s chill AF allowing real discussion.

They can start their own instance. Away from ours. No need to tolerate intolerance. We don’t need that shit here. Just because its open does not mean we want right wingers to wipe their shit on the walls. They can start their own instance in the fediverse and wipe shit on the walls there in their own little community. 🤷

It’s not just democrat
Adding republicans to the title would get less clicks though.
Sadly, yes. It’s important to know your audience.
Interesting. The screenshots shared with me by a friend:

YouTube is now showing nothing but (tr)ump stuff…I have not looked at dump stuff on YouTube. It’s all positive on him too.
Free speech my ass.
Thankfully the fediverse is tolerant of people with descenting opinions.

It’s the paradox of intolerance.
Conservatives are generally intolerant nowadays, towards marginalized people.
It’s ok to be intolerant of intolerance.
You could always go over to the tanke side of Lemmy
Hahaha, the Fediverse has very little tolerance for “wrong” opinions. As if opinions can even be wrong
Also, the obligatory: *dissenting (sorry)
I’m glad everyone is missing my irony lol.
Also fucking grammar nazi (apology accepted)
Oligarchs control the network for their benefit. Free and open souce alternatives are the only option.
