    Sounds like an issue with their work force. Without placing my tin foil hat on they need to hire more people to moderate and clean TOS breaking content.

    puts tinfoil hat on

    Meta is purposefully allowing far right militias to organize because a libertarian/conservative hellscape would mean their corporation becomes one of the largest fiefdoms.

      As someone that used to work for Meta as a contractor for another company that did content moderation for them: I agree completely with your first statement. They fired all of their US based contractors on content moderation and shipped it back to India where they are overworked and don’t have the cultural insight to know to take this kind of shit down when reported. They also rely heavily on AI for content moderating that was trained by contractors like myself.

    The far left are coordinating on Lemmy. At the end of the day as long as they aren’t committing a crime you can’t and shouldn’t do anything about it.

    Racism is still free speech which sucks but the alternative is high censorship and fear

      Facebook is not the government though?

      And why is it always “we have to respect other people calling for the erasure of the rights of minorities”? Do you have any idea how frustrating and tiresome that is, as a minority?

    Not condoning it, but all I can think is how terrible Facebook is for “coordinating” stuff like this. I mean, if FB or the feds wanted to find out who these people are, track them down or something, they can do that pretty easily. People who do stuff like this aren’t too bright, though. So not surprised, I guess.

    Tell me again how TikTok is dangerous, but Facebook is just grandmas sharing recipes.

      The National Guard, The Pentagon, the majority of Police Departments. They might be more authoritarian than your average US Leftist, but at least they don’t want to start all over to establish their Rule of Law. Even Trump’s generals looked down on him. If you want to do your part in a potential US Civil War then owning a gun to protect your homestead might help but the best thing you can do is report the right wing extremists as you see them. If you even hear word of any sort of encampment or compound, submit an anonymous tip to the FBI, you can expect a specialized task force to deal with it pretty quickly.

        I don’t want to be in this timeline. Plus 6 months from now when Trump wins and orders assassinations with SCOTUS immunity.

            Does everyone already have their guns, boots, and beans?

            Nows the time, get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your community. The police will not protect us, they’ll happily club a senior citizen to the ground and shoot you in the face with a rubber bullet.

            If a MAGAt caravan comes rolling through your (or your friends) neighborhood with bad intentions you don’t want to be caught lacking.

              I don’t think multiple guns per person are necessary tbh. Increases risk of them falling into the wrong hands and other accidents.

                Each person should assess their needs and prepare appropriately. Maybe a person wants one general purpose gun. Someone else might want a very long range rifle with a small sidearm as backup.

                Frankly getting bogged down in the minutiae immediately (and talking gun control of all things) is being unable to see the forest for the trees and really emblematic of why “the left” can’t get anything done. You don’t want two guns that’s great don’t get two it’s not a difficult concept. In case you missed the point your protection is on you so prepare accordingly.

                  Yeah that sidearm totally necessary for in case the enemy is exactly 25 inches away which is a shorter distance than your 26 inch rifle. /sarcasm
