unless its against zionism
Or if you make a self-deprecating joke about being white and get banned for 3 months.... Like I did once (Yet oddly the various reports I made about death threats against me on the basis of me being trans "Do not violate Facebook's terms of service" according to the automated responses)
I actually stopped using facebook to protect my META Account since I..... used to do VR before I got too lazy to do VR.... and developers got too lazy to make games for VR...
We must all collectively, start using Forums again.
"Well my Discord server is.."
I SAID FORUMS!
Discord is an alternative to IRC, the fact that people use it as a replacement for forums is baffling
Not baffling, infuriating, we've all gotten lazier over time and we want everything in one place.
Thing is, when we were on forums and IRC, we only had to play by the rules of the admins.... Now we're under the thumbs of corporations...
Fuck Mark Zuckerberg.
Fuck Elon Musk.
Fuck Jack Dorsey.
Fuck Daniel Ek.
Fuck all these fucks.
The irony of Meta/Facebook - infamous for tracking people online - being upset about jet tracking.
Rules and laws are only for the peasantry. Your level of freedom is proportional to your wealth, so Meta has a whole lotta Freedom™️
It's not even tracking... Tracking is what the FAA does, and makes publicly available. These accounts are just publishing the already-public information.
Fuck every one of these shitty billionaires. Fly commercial if you don't want to be tracked publicly.
how much longer will we allow them to conspire against us?
we have to take the steps to not use their platform, or better yet, start a Fediverse server of their own.
I was able to do it myself! the cost of running a Lemmy and Mastodon instance for myself is so cheap... I'm actually shocked more people aren't doing it!

I mean what for? It costs even less to use an existing Lemmy or Mastodon server given the minimal load you add.
@Carighan cause I don't have to play by someone elses rules if they decide to change them when they want.
the Reddit API situation opened my eyes. I pay less than 20 bucks a month and host my family and friends, worth it 🙂
Mango Mussolini's flights are paid for by the tax payers through the USAF and those flights should be tracked.
Mango Mussolini
That's fucking brilliant
Zuckerberg’s $300 million mega yacht may be tracked here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9857511
It is currently in San Diego at Broadway Pier. Which was also confirmed by yesterday’s news of a methed up Florida man being arrested at gun point for sneaking aboard and throwing things off into the water LOL https://youtu.be/L7nnKn1W4Mw
They can ban that but can't do anything about misinformation, scammers, bots and shit
They don't care to do anything about those
Officially, "its too hard". Realistically, they don't do shit because those shits bring in money by paying for exposition
you know where this wouldn't happen?
Mastodon.
A few are on Mastodon! https://grndcntrl.net/links/#ElonJet
This all feels very Streisand Effect. I don’t care about these accounts, but the more attempts there are to suppress them… the more they feel important.
This is why we need to bring back the old internet, not this corposhit.
I remember when you didn’t have to type carefully in the comments.
I had my comments removed over and over again on a video about Kurt Cobain recently. I had to type something like, “When he decided to take a vacation away from the planet earth with a traditional 20th century raygun that fired ammunition meant for birds rather than rays or lasers meant for people and space aliens.”
Meanwhile, “the Jews control all information and have space lasers and and and they put chemicals in the water that turn the frogs gay” and the like doesn’t get removed.
What a world.
@elonjet@mastodon.social is still functional, for those who want to follow from the Fediverse.
Fuck corporate social media
Seriously threads and bluesky are false promises, the rest of the fediverse might grow and innovate slowly but it is genuine growth on genuinely community owned platforms.
Bluesky and threads are visions of the past wearing the future's clothes. They are investor backed and fundamentally and irrevocably for profit ventures.
Do not be seduced into wasting your time in stuck in the past, this is a perfect reminder we already know where it will end no matter what their precariously employed devs say.
And yet: https://mastodon.social/@elonjet is still up :)
Obligatory: https://grndcntrl.net/
Oligarchs be oligarching
But when you report obvious fake accounts that merely exist for 5 days, follow 5000 people already and only have 3 followers themselves but a nice spammy link in their profile, they allegedly don’t violate any terms of services…
Corporate censorship. These companies are too powerful and tyrannical.
Zuck creating a safe-space for billionaire private jet owners on Meta isn't something I ever thought I would read, but here we are.
