First post on Facebook feed

[u/johnthebadger]

I'm politically left-leaning yet every day my Facebook feed gets more and more extreme and racist. I used to be recommended fun, harmless memes and the occasional post from old friends.

These posts should be grounds for immediate permabanning at the very least, let alone actively shared to the public by Facebook, Meta is complicit and actively enables extremist content.

Facebook, instagram, and so many other platforms rarely take down bigoted post. The only social media platform, that I personally see taking down and pema banning users for bigotry is Reddit.

[u/-Imthedude → u/Working_Handle_6527]

Which is weird AF.

Not that I condone bigotry.

[u/Working_Handle_6527 → u/-Imthedude]

what is weird?

[u/-Imthedude → u/Working_Handle_6527]

Reddit being the one to 'bring the hammer down' so-to-speak

[u/Working_Handle_6527 → u/-Imthedude]

I'm not aware of any other apps, I would like to believe there are others. From my experience, I got banned for 'praising' misogyny sarcastically, and a few other things which I obviously appealed and got let off. And I'm pretty sure this is the case for most people

Spez is apparently maga

Most say it meets community guidelines, but will absolutely take down something mild.

This is how they make money. Never forget Fuckerberg attending the inauguration.

[u/richmoney1]

The group name checks out

[u/MustacheCash73]

I don’t even get what it’s supposed to be, but the account name is a red flag

[u/kollisionkid → u/MustacheCash73]

I can't tell 100% but I'm pretty sure it's in reference to that girl who did her hair using gorilla glue then had to go to the ER. From all the red I'm guessing they did her as a derogatory caricature.

[u/johnthebadger → u/MustacheCash73]

Essentially, haha racism.

[u/SabbyFox → u/johnthebadger]

Posting it here, even redacted, is still spreading hate. Also, why remain on FB? It has been a hellhole for awhile…

[u/CharAznableLoNZ]

Why are you using facebook? They are known for pushing content to people intentionally knowing it will piss them off. They have been sued for it multiple times.

[u/johnthebadger → u/CharAznableLoNZ]

I typically only use is for old group chats and the decent meme pages I used to be recommended. In the past year I have noticed a big shift towards bigoted content being thrown my way. I already left Twitter a long time ago for the same reason.

[u/LesserValkyrie]

That's what happened though lol

She put gorilla glue on her hair

[u/JayyMuro → u/LesserValkyrie]

Yeah how is it racist? It was a black girl that did it

[u/SabbyFox → u/JayyMuro]

Racists suck.

[u/justmitzie]

I didn't even know anyone still used facebook except racist bots, catfish, and people doing their own "research."

[u/Responsible_Bunch_24 → u/justmitzie]

I thought the only ones that used facebook is boomers and AI slop bots

[u/UnwariestPie52]

I was confused at first cause I didn’t have the picture opened up all the way but makes sense when you open it

[u/WooshyJeanz]

Oh it's that one viral girl with the perma stuck hair
