@QueenOfTheCroneAge @Remittancegirl IG is owned by Meta, aka Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook. They're ratfucking Lula's election campaign on behalf of Bolsonaro, so dabbling in politics on the side of the Fash is absolutely typical. Rancid goddamn nazi-snogging billionaires.
@cstross @QueenOfTheCroneAge @Remittancegirl Europe should ban all things Meta. While they can.

The fact that organisers are depending on the availability of a platform run by any of the tech bros... well, it makes me think you aren't a terribly effective opposition.
@Remittancegirl should be basic OPSEC for any political actiongroup.

@Remittancegirl the ruling class WANTS you to protest peacefully as they sleep peacefully on Saturdays. Change that. Raise some hell during busy weekday hours that stop the flow of business.

@JoelBarr Brazil should as well (in addition to Twitter). Meta has been interfering with their election: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/meta-employees-said-lulas-accounts-were-hindered-during-brazil-election-folha-2026-10-16/

Have they made a website yet? @QueenOfTheCroneAge @cstross @Remittancegirl

@Remittancegirl There’s a parallel here with Ukraine being dependent on US/Musk platforms. We need to find all the ways the enemy is dependent on us and work that.
@karmic_resonance @Remittancegirl could we withdraw their use of the English language?
No, that wouldn’t work. What they speak now is scarcely English.

@Remittancegirl They plan their work on their own website. They have social network outlets, IG Threads, FB BlueSky and TIkTok, they are all active, not suspended. As a hater of IG (and all Meta products, I refuse to use then) because it is a gatekeeping walled garden, I generally agree, but those social sites aren't their primary means of organizing, they have people who still use the apps and can still get the word out. There is value in that. (They aren't on x-twitter, blessedly)

@JoelBarr @cstross @QueenOfTheCroneAge @Remittancegirl That will definitely help with organizing protests in *checks notes* America.

Yep. Throttling and outright blocking.

@Remittancegirl It's so true. Seems like the Fediverse would be perfect for such things, and yet people stay addicted to the surveillance capitalism platforms SMH.

@Remittancegirl I can't understand, given how openly censorious they've been the last two years, that anyone was still using anything from big 7 was cool with getting censored just because. I get it, these channels are huge markets - they're also all completely compromised by our literal enemies.

I had my account suspended by blue sky today and reddit a week ago. Nothing I post should go against the TOS on either site. I do occasionally comment on politics (especially on blue sky) but I'm careful to keep things civil. Reddit I mainly use for a niche gaming sub. I don't mean to sound tin foil hat,but it seems very suspicious that two separate social media accounts of mine were suspended. Very weird. I deleted IG and X ages ago.

@Remittancegirl this just makes me more convinced of the "we aren't allowed to build our own things, because building is bad" leftist brainworms

@Remittancegirl In the 80s this would have become a SCOTUS case, probably a milestone 1st Amendment issue, due to likely WH involvement.
It is political censorship.

@Remittancegirl Or give your actual contact information to “organizers” on surveiilance platforms, like so many are being solicited to do. This is incompetence and naivety by the organizers who are in denial that we are, right now, living in a Fascist state and the platform owners are Quislings/collaborators. I don’t know if it’s too late for them to wake TF up.
