Zuckerberg is going to end up trying to become the king of Hawaii.

What others have suggested; just abandon it.

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

I get why you feel this way, but this feels a little superfluous. Like, making that community will never, ever change how Facebook does business, we're not going to shame them into being better by cataloging the terrible shit they allow. In other words, all we're doing is choosing to make a forum filled with the horrible, hate-filled posts that Facebook says are okay. I'm honestly more comfortable just leaving them on Facebook and not posting the same vile garbage here to make fun of it, because I don't think it will change anything other than a history of hateful posts on Lemmy.

We can make fun of how much they suck without bringing their awfulness and putting it on display over here, especially when doing that isn't gonna change a damn thing. Facebook has the "fuck you" money to ignore it.

If you know it, why use it? Just move on.

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 had similar situation with facebook. In a discussion, I posted a single comment about election results with numbers, percentages and a link to official governmental website containing that very same data, with attached screenshot of it for lazy ones. Facebook informed me that the comment violates spam rules and will be removed. No edit possibility, no peace talks, just removed. At the same time there are profiles loaded with hate speech, bigotry, racism and disinformation for years, and no automod, no algorithm was triggered.

That moment I sad fuck your algorithms, fuck your data, fuck your website, I can live without it. Just pulled the plug and deleted the account. I don't need that hate-machine to keep in touch with my friends. And as long as people says 'but my friends are there', facebook will continue to roll hatred fueling algorithms and never change. No mockery, no subreddits or lemmy communities will change it, but every user less - may lead to a change, or better, a downfall.

Just delete the account.

edit: and try to watch the social dilemma documentary.

Aksually itsh meta now you plebian

I swear to God, I have zero idea what version you all use of Facebook. It's really not that bad unless your friends are assholes.

Nudity is an easy one, nobody will be annoyed if you decide to remove nudity from your platform, especially if it's in an attempt to avoid CSAM. Even here most instances accept a large margin of error to do so.

Not everyone agrees that swastika tattoos should be removed from online platforms. It's not even just nazis, free speech absolutists will totally disagree with the message, but still argue that they have a right to post it.

I don't agree that shit should be left up personally, but I also don't think Meta should be the one deciding what can and can't be posted on their platforms aside from the obvious violence and nudity. Crazy thing is they actually agree. They've been lobbying governments to regulate social media content moderation for ages, but nobody will touch it and look like they're going after "free speech".
