Meta is now internationally limiting the political content you can see on their platforms. Here’s a quick guide on how to stop Instagram and Threads from deciding what shows up on your feed.
Thats a great idea. I hate the political troll farm content pushed into my face on those platforms, when all I want to do is wish someone a happy birthday and get the hell out.
This is a leftwing political account. It doesn’t post rage bait. The guide is trying to limit censorship of political content. Political content is what got TikTok banned. This account wants people to be political informed, and not to just drink the cool aid of western media.
That’s a good feature, politics on social media is just a cesspool these days. There’s nothing worth seeing because there’s no political discussion, just name calling, climate change denialism, racism and transphobia.
Meta’s well aware that everyone’s tired of that uncle that just won’t shut up.
No it’s not a good feature… they will allow white nationalist propaganda and say it’s not political but if someone wants to talk about a pride parade it will be censored as political.
How fucking stupid do you need to be to think this is a good idea?
I think you’re right that they need to be transparent with what is considered political and what is not through a visible flag or something.
Though it’s definitely great idea to reduce weights on political content and discourage it. That’s the only way to get off this swamp and if we have to sacrifice gay pride parade talks to prevent the rise of fascism and genocide then it’s a pretty good deal imo.
Threads is actually kinda fun if not all of the spam and straight up harmless idiots. Meta is right for once.
There are plenty of other tools for politics and it’s better kept in smaller more mindful communities rather than these pools of random algorithmic shit.
I disagree. It is not a good feature. Everything is political. The guide is trying to limit censorship of political content. Political content is what got TikTok banned. This account wants people to be political informed, and not to just drink the cool aid of western media.
Because they algorithmically manipulate people to cause outrage and suppress left-of-center views, while also being complicit in mass murder and right-wing voter manipulation campaigns.
What’s funny is that both sides of the political spectrum are going to think this is targeting them. When in reality it’s more than likely only going to be used to squash misinformation.
Of course, that’s my choice. Funny how meta doesn’t provide a generalised keyword post blocker… it’s almost like they’re worried you’d accidentally block too much or something.
And I do like the phrasing. “Here’s how to get control back!” Yes, yes, get back your control of an endless algorithmic feed designed to maximise engagement and profit, of course, it’s simple!
