Facebook doesn't like me talking about Elon's bullshit, apparently

Whelp, Facebook flagged one of my posts about Musk's BS as violating FB standards. It was the commentary about the numbers 14 and 88, used by white nationalists and neonazis to refer to support of a white ethnostate and/or Adolph Hitler and his goals.

Never received a Facebook strike before, so that's interesting. My account is currently limited (albeit in ways I don't care about - I can't go live for 29 days, I can't advertise for 29 days) and I have of course appealed.

The big news this evening is that Elon Musk's Twitter is suspecting accounts reporting on the protests in China.

"HK activist @aimenlau and Taiwanese writer @VickieDeTaiwan have been suspended on Twitter for 'platform manipulation and spam' when all they've done is tweet about the protests in China."

Today in Radical Free Speech news

Today - or this morning, really - in Elon's Radical Free Speech Twitter, Elon's continuing to ban the alt-right wishlist of targets. Today's most notable that I've seen is Washington State Nazi Watch, an account I followed for some years and which has helped identify a variety of violent Nazis attacking people in Washington State.

Staying on Twitter only tells advertisers his mass-onboarding of fascists and mass-deplatforming of anyone opposed to them is okay. Also, clearly, accounts against fascism are not included in his so-called "general amnesty."

I'm not bothering with the screencap since it's just another "account suspended." But I did personally confirm the suspension.

Also, there are various reports of people being suspended for tweets like "Elon Musk should pay taxes" and "Elon Musk should go to Mars and not ever come back," the former for hateful behaviour, and the latter for violence.

These are possibly - maybe even likely - fake. It's also possible they're not; one in particular went through some fairly trusted sources so maybe not. Also, there are enough reports out there of bizarre suspensions involving the name Elon Musk that it's reasonable to suspect that sensitivity has been turned all the way up for his name in the AI suspension engine.

What makes it even harder to tell is: 1) how many people have been on the actual, confirmed target list going around telegram and the chans, which has included some very whut targets like We Rate Dogs. Yes, We Rate Dogs, the account that praises animal photos. Presumably just to stir up as much shit as possible.

And 2) with all the botnets up and running again - with Elon's blessing - literally anyone who pisses off one of his weird fascist fanboys - with something like, say, "elon musk should pay taxes" - might well get hit out of nowhere with mass false reports.

Since there's nobody left even to pretend to intervene, it's still Elon's fault.

So... these might be fake? Some are likely fake? After all, it's a meme now. Regardless: you can't tell anymore. And that's the point.

And the uncertainty is so high it's genuinely hard to know.

Which is another reason Twitter is over, and it's time to leave.

The Big Lie at the State Scale

Kari Lake is asking people to commit felonies - literally in those words, using the word felony - to overturn her election loss.

How 'bout you go first, Kari?

i don't know why this didn't occur to me

I don't know why it didn't occur to me that wood stains would run like a mofo along print layer lines but for the record wood stains run like a mofo along printer layer lines xD

Absorption rate is pretty good though, I'll give it that. Maybe this could be done intentionally to some degree or another.
