Facebook is a hot pile of garbage that should be fired into the sun. (lemmy.world)

Today I posted a picture of a stamp with an animal in it and they said the picture contained nudity and made me take it down, but I reported a photo of a guy with a fully visible swastika tattoo and they said that's fine.

I'd like to start a Lemmy community with photos of stuff that they refuse to remove called FacebookSaysItsFine.

The mainly automated moderation on FB and Twit were infuriating when I used them, yes. I was suspended twice on Twit (pre-musk) for fairly innocuous comments. Meanwhile, when I reported literal death threats, I’d get back the message “we reviewed this and it didn’t violate our community standards”. At this point I deleted my Twat account and haven’t signed into FB in 4 years.

I deleted the app too ! But Facebook is hard for me to give up because I have friends from all over the world to stay in touch with, and it is the simplest way.

Mind you I have persevered and gotten a lot of Nazis banned from Facebook.

Why not have your friends join lemmy, start a new community around live journaling here and enjoy the freedom of expression y’all crave.

This will accomplish 2 things:

Take revenue away from Facebook
Helps increase user share for lemmy.

This way you all have the same interests working to your advantage

That's actually a really good idea.

I do get them once in a while. Although, they tend to be fat and few between. Lol
