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.
Delete your account.
Reach out to the people you only talk to through Facebook and give them your contact information.
It’ll be awkward and you might lose some people, but every person who quits makes it easier for everyone else to quit. Quitting is better for your health and happiness.
I believe it’s difficult to fire things into the sun because of gravitational dynamics. It’d apparently be easier to fire Facebook into interstellar space.

Like my grandma always said, if you want a box hurled into the sun, you got to do it yourself.
God rest her zombie bones.
Years ago I noticed a picture my niece had liked that was a couple of her friends jumping on their bed in only underwear. The girls were probably 11 or 12 so I reported it as inappropriate. A few days later Facebook replied to my request that the pictures were not against the TOS. I couldn’t fuckin believe that. I encouraged my niece to suggest that the pictures be removed before a pervert found them. That was what finally worked but I suspect those girls probably thought I was the pervert.
You’re a good uncle. Facebook literally said a picture of a woman’s coochie was fine to me once last month.
I mean… you’re not wrong, but it’s like you’re breathlessly telling us about this incredible new thing you’ve discovered called the internet.
Do you want to talk about Livejournal? I had one.
Not that modern stuff let’s talk about Geocities! 🚧
I had four of them!
Damn digital landlords buying up our geocities
I miss web rings.
I miss my websites compiled of nothing but pixelated gifs
Me too. I fully deleted it because jokes about child abuse don’t hit the same way these days.
I searched for a community named “FacebookSaysItsFine” and haven’t yet seen anything.
Be the change you want to see in the world!
I just worry people will post things like CSAM on it, but I think it would be very good.
I worry about this on fediverse stuff. I made the mistake of looking at the links from a person who commented on anti trans legislation and let me just say yikes!
The link was to something trying to legitimize the identity of “map.”
NOPE.
I deleted my comments and blocked the sick bastard.
Try to stay apolitical and you won’t attract those trolls as early. Which I now realize may be difficult, considering many of the posts would be calling out Nazi scum…
It would definitely require some very active moderation and clearly-defined community rules. But it sounds like a great idea for a Lemmy community, if you have the time.
Cloudflare has free CSAM scanning tools available - they really just need to implement it.
When did “CP” become “CSAM”?
If you want to change the acronym, wouldn’t “CR” make more sense?
'cause porn is made with consenting adults. CSAM isn’t porn. CR is typically what’s depicted in CSAM (assuming that R stands for rape), but there’s two (or more) separate though closely related crimes here. That and SA (sexual assault) covers a wider breadth of activities, which is good if a person wants to quibble over the term rape when regardless something horrific happened to a kid and videos/images of said horrific thing is now getting shared among pedophiles.
Will note I’ve only seen CSAM used when I started using Lemmy, so I’m not really sure when people started using the term over CP. I’m personally for it - it more accurately describes what it is, and while I haven’t seen this term in the wild SAM to describe video or images of non-consenual sex acts among adults is good too.
I modded for Reddit before, I could manage this.
I would suggest the opposite. Perhaps a Facebook doesn’t allow this, community. Too much risk of attracting trolls and monsters.
That said. The FBI says that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter et al. They all contain a not insignificant amount of CSAM at any given point in time. The fact just never gets reported by press because they’re normalized platforms by the public. Only the fediverse gets that sort of negative attention in the press because it’s the disruptive outsider platform. When by both proportion and volume, almost all other platforms have a worse issue with awful content that regularly flies under the radar because they are big corporations.
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”.
So wait… you’re telling me that if you owned a social media platform, it shouldn’t be left up to YOU what people post on that platform? Am I understanding this correctly?
We’re not talking a Lemmy instance here, Facebook has 3 billion users. No, I don’t think they should be deciding what people can and can’t post there.
Edit: Wow, very surprised at the immediate response on here. Lemmy’s favourite thing is shitting on Facebook, but you want them to globally decide which content can and can’t be shared? Lol alright
I’d love to hear your explanation of “free speech”.
I don’t agree that shit should be left up personally
Did you actually read my comment before replying? I’m not a “free speech absolutist”, I think they’re bullshit, but I also don’t think Meta should be the one who decides where that line is.
So Meta should allow all speech then? If they are not to be deciding where the line is?
I’ve already pretty clearly said that governments should regulate this, not Meta. How could you even interpret my comments to mean “allow everything”?
I’m guessing this bullshit line of questioning is an attempt to convince yourself that I’m the type of person you’ve already decided I am in your head, which is pretty fucking lame. Not everyone has to live in political extremes.
the government shouldn’t regulate speech either. you’re exactly the kind of person i pegged you to be.
I quit Fbook and all the “social” media a few years back, and haven’t missed it at all. Any “friend” who will only interact with me via Fbook/etc, rather than in-person, text, or even email or phone call isn’t a real friend, or real relationship at all. My life is quieter and my sanity slowly returned.
Lemmy is social media. Reddit is social media.
It isn’t the same, even if it pedantically has the same label. I have zero clue who you are or who you might be trying to be. You are two sentences at this moment to me.
There’s no “pedantically” about it. You said you quit all the “Social” media a few years back, yet, here you are, posting and participating in social media. Be as flippant as you want about it, you’re either and idiot or a liar. If we apply Hanlon’s Razor here, I think we’ll all come to the same conclusion.
Where did I say I quit all the Social media a few years back? Please show me the exact comment.
you’re either and idiot or a liar.
Remember that you said this about me while you search thought my comment history for me saying that I quit social media a few years back.
I didn’t “Search” through anything. You literally said it in the comment thread we are in.
Edit. My bad, I mistook you for someone else. I apologize.
You still didn’t demonstrate the wherewithal to differentiate between an old-school forum and something like F*book and the like, and acted as if you were the smart one. And then you attempted to be insulting, sticking out your tongue at the wrong person. Please.
if you don’t think things like reddit and lemmy are social media, you’re beyond the comprehension and intelligence to even attempt to explain to. so yea. i also apologized for making a mistake. something rarely seen in “forums” or social media. sooo fuck off?
Based and forums-pilled
I love how you try to hard to not define fediverse as social media.
Are forums social media?
Yes
So let me get this straight: your image of an animal is blocked due to some dumb bug- so the appropriate response is to post an image of some dude with a swastika?
Let me ask you: what would you do if you broke an arm? I am curious to see your train of thought.
He didn’t post a picture of a guy with a swastika. He reported one posted by someone else.
the appropriate response is to post an image of some dude with a swastika?
Reread that again. He said reported not reposted.
What a hot take
Aksually itsh meta now you plebian
Gosh I feel badly. Wait no. I def don’t.
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.
I deleted my Facebook in 2011. That’s right, 12 years ago. It was bad then, I can’t even imagine what a pile of shit it is now. It’s all about perspective. You probably can’t remember a time before Facebook existed, but I do.
15 years ago I had a Facebook account for about a month. My brother became a father over the weekend and I sent him a congrats message. Come in Monday and my coworker knew about it. “Yeah I am deleting this shit right fucking now”.
You probably can’t remember a time before Facebook existed, but I do.
Oh man, calling someone young on the internet to further your argument, you are old lol. I also used Facebook back in 2011, it also wasn’t bad if your friends weren’t assholes. I don’t know what the hell you people are doing on Facebook either.
I’m like early 40s and a systems engineer for a company who builds oss software. I’m not og neckbeard, but I had a 2400 baud modem. I thought I had plenty of perspective 🤷♂️.
You’re just a baby!
The wild stories and backgrounds you people invent when people disagree.
My first modem was 2400 baud on prodigy and I was using irc+ usenet well before torrents were a thing. I recall the pre aol internet, phpbbs, Internet forums, and my steam account ends in an @hotmail.com. I was on og face book when it was college only. I think my perspective and recollection is just fine.
I mean, Facebook is how I found out that one guy who I was very friendly with was actually a supporter of the BNP.
unless your friends are assholes
yeah, the pandemic kind of brought how much of an asshole everyone around me truly was… and now I don’t use meta.
I don’t use Facebook, but it introduced a friend of mine to a neo nazi group. Probably from a shared interest in wwii history, but that’s all it takes for the algorithm to do its thing. He rejected it so we’re clear.
Zuckerberg is going to end up trying to become the king of Hawaii.
I think I’m ootl… why Hawai‘i?
cause that’s where he lives probably.
i hope it takes linkedin with it
LinkedIn is the human centipede of social media.

Agree?

There is a person I work with who has the unofficial job of LinkedIn stalking our competition. You can get some ideas of what they are doing this way. Are they looking for someone with this particular skill set? Maybe they are trying to get into another sector. I got a bio on my counterpart over there.
“I’d like to say thank you to [company name] for hiring me. To the unemployed, get fucked.”
Lol I hate those posts so much
You also have to word it like a tome that reads like you’ve discovered cold fusion and have amazing philosophical insights all due to your amazing colleagues at your internship
I am DEEPLY humbled to describe how fucking successful I am 🥰
using it as a social media will drive you insane.
Especially if you use the mobile app as it is riddled with ads and there are no mods available as far as I know
Using any of these websites’ apps is insane.
Y’all WANT all of your data harvested, huh?
I’ve never understood why people use it for socials. Jobs! That’s where it fits in my life. Last two have been through there. That’s all it is.
But haven’t you considered the UlTRa GrInD MiNdseT that could bring real value to your organization? 😘🤷♂️😍🙃🚀😐🥳🎵🇺🇸🎶🦢🤞👍😈🇺🇦🇺🇦🇹🇼🇮🇪🤌🤗🥵👏🤮🙈
Yeah it’s basically like an mlm and boot licker haven
Why would anyone use LinkedIn for anything other than presenting your professional credentials? I can’t even begin to explain how terrible of an idea it is to post on social media with your resume attached and your career on the line.
I’m not very active on linkedin, but it seems fine. The job listings are a bit shitty. There’s other platforms that offer better job listings. Also there’s a couple peopke who treat linkedin as facebook2.0, but I can mostly ignore those. I use it to keep a professional network and linkedin seems to be doing an okay job at that.
The good people left Facebook a long time ago. I would even argue before the place was taken over by boomers.
I think ultimately, it was the share functionality that ruined Facebook, because it was once the place where you keep up with your friends, but then the genuineness of it is gone after you realize they only see their friends as a captive audience to get likes and get a boost for their Farmvilles.
It’s a dehumanizing place, which is why it became a wasteland.
Almost everyone I know still has Facebook, but no one actually posts on it. Personally I only really use messenger (which they just killed, coincidentally).
What’s this about messenger? I still have it because of that one friend who won’t move.
They are getting rid of the android app at least, presumably to force people back to facebook as they slowly starve. Website still works
After that whole palaver of them breaking it on the mobile site on purpose to get us to install Messenger in the first place?!
FML.
Facebook was pretty nifty when it first started and wasn’t evil. It was fun to connect with people from high school I’d never see again otherwise. I’ve restarted some great relationships that way. It’s really unfortunate what trash it turned into.
I distinctly remember back in 2010 right before I deleted my Facebook, everytime I logged in I would get depressed and sad.
I had to cut it out because it put me in a bad mood all the time
I like the initiative, but isn’t facebook basically dying? As far as I know it’s only corporations, nazis and qanons left. Even the boomers started leaving. I might be wrong though. It’s been a while since I cared to check on facebook.
All in all that would make a great source for bad photo’s
My social circle (aside from me) use it for event planning and marketplace
I don’t know that it’s dying but still it’s a force of evil and I’d like to fight back.
