who says he's at war in support of Chick-fil-A.
I posted "FUCK THAT DARK MONEY WHORE."
FUCK FACEBOOK AND THE COMMUNITY STANDARDS HOBBY HORSE THEY RIDE ON.

I think maybe Twitter's standards are a bit looser.
hahaha

(35,812 posts)posts. So I know for a fact that my friends have no such "community standards" and talk that way themselves; they gave me ample examples of them on FB messenger when I told them I got nailed again.
So all I can think is that "community standards" is some management-decided set of 'bad words.'
It's Zuckerberg's sandbox and we gotta play by his rules.
Maybe you might try going looking at posts on any right wing pages, and see all kinds of thinking are more toxic and fucked up than those two centuries' old epithets, and how somehow that's okay.

We can't avoid in the arena of public discourse, but stand up for what we stand for.

(8,571 posts)I got banned for life on Twitter for calling Tomi Lauren a street lamp post appendage. Did not use the whore word at all. But right wingers posting shit about Joe and the Ho, no problem. Never been on face book, glad to be banned from twitshit.
DemocraticPatriot
(4,170 posts)One should not use the word in reference to a woman, obviously, but I doubt bots can make that distinction....

(12,904 posts)Seems pretty mild.
Last time I went to hate book (10 years ago?) a former in laws mother told me to eat shit and die.
I barely knew the old hag. Never went back. Dont need the aggravation.

(32,340 posts)... it's who sees it and and reports you. If you have a lot of followers, or "friends", it's guaranteed some of them are going to be ChumpHumpers. We all know how little humor they can tolerate. They're just looking for an argument, every time.

(25,746 posts)on Facebook. On that platform, I stick with what my mother used to tell me: If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all.
Honestly, that's good advice, especially on FB. I find myself being driven batshit crazy by many of the posts that show up. And no, they aren't political. They are people bragging about their grandchildren, or posting photographs of a recent meal in a restaurant, or telling me about how I need to be understanding of their mental illness. Honestly? I don't give a flying fuck. But I NEVER post a comment or criticism of such posts, despite what I think of those posts.
Again, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

(35,812 posts)Benign, self involved posting is what makes it all Facelift, if you ask me. So I have news media like Mother Jones and NYT, Vice, Occupy, ACLU, SPLC, EFF, etc., along with Biden, Harris, Schumer, Warren, Sanders, AOC, Pelosi and other Democratic leaders' posts. Otherwise, what's the point?
I usually wouldn't bother with a Lindsey Graham he-said/she-said piece, but I realize now I was feeling deranged by the Sheldon Whitehouse presentation earlier. I'm aghast at how corporations can't work with but only capture government. I hate dark money whores. One of these days, their ilk won't have anything nice to say to Zuckerberg, either.
Thanks for your post, PoindexterOglethorpe.

(1,016 posts)worse than that sit Thin skinned bastards.9 Yacht Betsy is a skank.
ancianita
(35,812 posts)Yes, there is definitely a lot worse, but one must never call Republicans names because that's the Republican community standard. You should see what FB lets stand about Pelosi, though.

(10,375 posts)and had a post hidden here for using that term in reference to MF45's naked-model wife.
Here. Even though others on the same thread used the same term.
It's not just FB or tweeter that suffers from selective outrage.

(14,961 posts)line, much much worse than this. And it's not like what you said, wasn't true.🥴🙄
ancianita
(35,812 posts)I think there was a study done somewhere about which side of the political spectrum they have a bias for banning, and as I recall, I think it's our side. For months, the right wing comments on Pelosi's page were literally unreadable, horrible.
Regardless, I know I'll be back, because I do get a lot of good information there.

(14,961 posts)least, with the exception of Messenger. And I am much happier/less anxious than before.
ancianita
(35,812 posts)I'll put in half an hour, skim by dumb stuff, read news and check my smart friends' posts, but that's it.
Yeah, it can be psychically harmful, for sure.
dewsgirl
(14,961 posts)I don't think they understand people only put the positives of their life or even skew things to be far better than they are. I have tried to explain this to a close friend, yet she still gets depressed from it at times. I am well aware of this phenomenon, especially since that was me 5 yrs ago, acting like all is good, when it wasn't, I had done it since FB began. I read a study once, people that use that site everyday are 13 percent less happy than if they just stayed off.(I'm talking about people that spend a significant amount of time everyday.) That number is likely far higher now.

we're in an all caps moment in this country.
I forgot to give my usual explanation, which is: given that FB has no buttons for EMphasis, I use CAPS for EMphasis and not shouting.
