#Elon #Musk, hater of #shadowbans, has ordered #Ukrainians posting the truth about #Russian war #crimes #shadowbanned.

And he’s lifted the #shadowbans on #authoritarian regimes #propaganda outlets, to broaden their reach.

Chinese dissidents are discovering that depending on DataFarms to get their messages out isn't always reliable:

@AmandaMarcotte wrote at #Salon a #OPED ostensibly about #GOP candidate Pena's arrest for hiring gunmen to shoot at his Democratic opponents' homes after he'd lost the race.

But it takes a weird and nonfactual turn midway through. There, Marcotte argues #shadowbans don't exist. It's just conspiracy theory!

Well, that's WRONG. From Reddit automod bans to actual shadow bans across social media. We know the tools exist.

Just made a #sworker resources room in our #discord server, for #sexWorkers to let others know about #adultContent - friendly #socialMedia , #livestream and #video platforms, informative articles, etc. Please feel free to check it out by joining our #outcastCreatorCollective server at https://discord.gg/cMtKd8j3 where you'll find a supportive community of "outcast #contentCreators" and our supporters, by which we mean #creators who often face #censorship, #shadowbans, #bannedContent, and other forms of persecution online that "#capitalismFriendly" content approved of by #thePatriarchy do not have to endure.

You don't have to be a creator yourself (or specialize in #nudity #sexWorker or other often-censored types of content), just be prepared to cross paths with those who are, and remain respectful. :)

The main parts of the server are all SFW and require additional age verification to access the #18plus areas, so you don't have to worry about stumbling into sexually explicit content if you don't want!

Thanks and we really hope to get to know you! Our goal is to grow a diverse, supportive and useful network of outcast creators where we can #collaborate, commiserate, share resources, and even make new friends!

#2022 schlug ich im April im #fediverse auf. Das war zur Zeit der Verkündung der Aktienmehrheit #elonmusk

Innerlich Abstand genommen hatte ich aber schon vorher von der Plattform. #shadowbans willkürliche Sperren Verlust des freien Meinungsaustauschs all das fand schon vorher statt. Die thinktanks der ganzen Welt hatten twitter als ihr Schlachtfeld entdeckt - und so benahmen sie sich auch.

Noch sehr viel anders sieht es hier bei Mastodon aus. Ich bin guten Mutes (...)

@Lorry Indeed a bot can trivially detect a #shadowban. They don’t even need another account. Simply fetch the page of their post w/out passing a cookie. So this #shadowbanning practice which was naïvely designed for bots ends up only wasting /human/ time. It’s why I’m done w/ #Reddit. And holy shit: it was recently pointed out to me that all blocks by #Mastodon are #shadowbans.

Are you ready for Fedi?

Fed up with their algorithms feeding you timelines you didn't ask for?

Fed up with random lockouts accompanied by requests for personal data to continue, #fedUp with the numbers being shoved at you, the creepy suggestions, the need to be identified, the #shadowBans?

Fed up with your every interaction, click and pause being used to learn you, hook you, influence and market you to corporate masters?

Fed up? It's why millions have switched to #Fediverse.
