Note that if this really is a mistake, it means they’re feeding interactions with those hastags through a different system than normal. So yes, you’re absolutely being tracked or your algorithm is being modified in some way, there’s literally no other possible reason for it.
Or they’re getting ready to block that stuff at the request of our new dictator, and are trying to get ahead of the curve.
And then they oopsed the implementation.
Spot on. This wasn’t a human made decision, this was some AI going off the reservation. It’s embarrassing for them as it gave us a peak under the hood.
lmao what? There’s little to no chance that this has literally anything to do with AI, except maybe to generate the list of tags
You smell it? Smells like… CENSORSHIP!
And people still think these assholes are “free speech absolutists”… if you stay on those social nets, you are part of the problem.
Totally unintentional freak accident for sure. Maybe they just tried to make them less visible but overdid it?
</irony>
Oops, the derate list got confused with the block list…
To bad there’s no one to do anything about it.
Whoever made the “mistake” which has revealed these shenanigans, I salute you.
We need to sell the fediverse to people as the cool place it is. That shit doesn’t happen here.
Step 1 is making it less technical, less nerdy for the onboarding process. But all the onboarding I’ve seen seems to want to front load that stuff. If anyone wants to “save the mainstream users” it starts there
Mainstream users will never come here if the sign up flow doesn’t at least look like Bluesky who in turn modeled their onboarding to the big SM sites and is probably a big reason why they have so MANY users compared to the entire Fediverse
There’s a few instances that will remove anything their admins don’t like.
I’ve been banned on lemmy communities more than any other social media. Feel free to look through my posts, I’m far from being some right-wing ass.
Real Real 🔥🗣
The fix will be not letting you notice they’re blocking it
“A fix,” uh huh, right.
who the FUCK is on that shithole site expecting anything but garbage?
The fix is already in.
