Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Facebook and Instagram Tighten Censorship Rules for Saying “Antifa” (theintercept.com)

If “antifa” is mentioned in the context of “references to historical or recent incidents of violence” — a category so sprawling that it includes “historic wars” and “battles” — that post will also be penalized. Should Meta apply this rule as written, the company could, for instance, restrict posts comparing the antifascist nature of World War II to the contemporary antifa movement.

Potential penalties for violating Community Standards range from a full account ban to comments being hidden or suppressed.

The policy change follows years of Meta and its chief executive Mark Zuckerberg’s pivot of political convenience toward President Donald Trump and his base. Following Trump’s second electoral victory, Meta quickly changed its speech rules to allow for anti-transgender slurs and dehumanization of immigrants, The Intercept previously reported, aligning the company with longtime MAGA culture war grievances.

The internet will do what it always does and come up with a synonym. What the fuck are they doing this for?

I'm guessing the same reason they do anything - they think they'll make more money.

Edit: Not that I think appeasing fascists is a financially sound decision long term, but I won't lose any sleep if they go bankrupt.

While I think we can all agree Facebook was a bad idea, and we all see is been steadily declining, there’s not really any reason for it to exist anymore. If you made a similar enough clone that the boomers could figure it out, run it in a distributed format to avoid hosting fees (webtorrent maybe?), limit storage to something reasonable to reduce loads and keep things fresh….

It doesn’t need to be great. It just needs to be enough to bring boomers away so Facebook fucking starves is all I’m saying.
