TikTok creators flock to UpScrolled app after U.S. takeover. Here's why
Thousands of creators are deleting TikTok and flocking elsewhere just days after a change in ownership and mounting claims of widespread censorship and shadowbanning, or reduced reach, on the app.

Starting the week off by "eating the frog" and it was a massive one...

2.5 hours clicking plus online chat with a Meta agent to try & get any Instagram account restrictions lifted 🙄

My profile is "clean" & SFW now, so fingers crossed. Took so much brain energy. I have a case reference & it's been escalated.

"– TikTok-gebruikers melden dat posts die anti-Trump of anti-ICE zijn nu beperkt worden, verdwijnen of extreem minder bereik hebben dan normaal. Dit gebeurt kort nadat de Amerikaanse activiteiten van TikTok voor het grootste deel onder Amerikaanse eigendom zijn gebracht. In DM’s wordt het woord ‘Epstein’ geflagged als ‘niet toegestaan’."

@MeaningfulBits nodds in agreement

The #shadowbanning of #Fedi is not dissimilar to how governments shill all the #Shitcoins but ban #Monero and how all the shitty #Messengers & #VPN|s get pushed but #XMPP+#OMEMO, #PGP/MIME and #Tor are considered "nasty" and "bad"

Hace muy poco me entere que plataformas como face o youtube vienen aplicando hace años una forma atenuada, pero muy efectiva de #censura a traves de una tecnica llamada #ShadowBanning o algo asi, que vendria a ser como la encapsulacion de la cuenta afectada para que el resto de la comunidad no la vea o la acceda muy limitadamente

Banned from Threads before I even signed up. My reputation precedes me.

Yay🎉
I've tried to get people to discuss this for a another reason: đ˜Œđ™Ąđ™Ą #liberal #media is on #Youtube

how long will the appeasers of #Google stand up to #TACO, or will they cave & take down or shadowban💙Us "domestic terrorists"? (his fascist admin use that term for lib media & YT is already #shadowbanning #blue 💙voices)

I just learned about #peertube which is the 1st potential alt to YT, but that's only IF💙We make it one

Further thoughts from me on this😊

hopefully!

As already stated:

the asocial media could become some form or a chance of framing superiority, yet that was taken away by algorithms

Those algorithms aren't FOSS, nor adjustable by the people and as closed as the CocaCola recipt, including the cocain replacement dopamine. They are private and belong to VC, and to those who belong to VC, so they can enshittify peoples minds to recover and fulfill the expectations of VC, or at least those who lend the money to VC so they can lend themselves more VC. In any case to have enough VC as cash for the stock buybacks, other wise the spiral doesn't work.

They persuade through mendacity. They always have.

Their most powerful mendacity (a new term, thx for that) is #shadowBanning or #hellban, call it what ever you want. Till this very day, as for what I have read, nobody realized the extent of that destructive tool to torture human beings, not to mention the obstruction of free flow of information, for the sake of power and to preserve the expectations of VC.

.. well, except our buddy @jesuisatire in the ALTtext explicacion of his pinned toot ..

Another day, another 0 interactions I get, but ironically, Threads is asking me to pay for my true self (the verified badge). I have the right to have suspicions toward Threads and Meta. I have the right to accuse them of shadow-banning me and being ableist.

Von X zu Mastodon und Bluesky: Warum der Wechsel sinnvoll ist

Immer mehr Unternehmen und Organisationen stellen sich die Frage: Sollten wir unsere Kommunikation weiterhin von zentralisierten Plattformen wie X abhĂ€ngig machen – oder ist es an der Zeit, die Kontrolle zurĂŒckzugewinnen? [

#ShadowBanning 
 ist kein Schutz, sondern ein unsichtbarer Angriff auf die Meinungsfreiheit. Wer #Demokratie ernst nimmt, darf keine Stimmen heimlich zum Schweigen bringen. @hateaid.org 🖖

Gefahren von Shadow Banning
Undurchsichtige Praktiken der Plattformen
Nicht nur Hasskommentare, auch das heimliche Stummschalten politischer Inhalte untergrĂ€bt unsere Demokratie. Immer öfter hören unsere Berater*innen von Betroffenen, dass ihre BeitrĂ€ge eingeschrĂ€nkt oder gesperrt werden - ohne BegrĂŒndung und ohne Transparenz. Was wir herausgefunden haben und warum das sogenannte Shadow Banning eigentlich rechtswidrig ist, erfĂ€hrst du in unserem Artikel.

Ofcom apparently don’t understand “false-positive rates” nor “base rate”

Take badly drafted and overlarded legislation and then summarise it badly, and you end up with a refined recipe for shadowbanning, blocking & censorship:

Our children’s codes for user-to-user services recommend that services 
 design and operate recommender systems so that content likely to be suicide or self-harm content is excluded from children’s feeds

I wonder how many errors this will trigger?
