Me: I’m not going to cry today… Internet: “Just know you’re never really dining alone because the spirit of Anthony Bourdain sits in every empty chair…” 😭😭😭

Swear-word censorship is probably my least favorite… Folks say authenticity is SO important, but then slap me with a community guidelines violation for telling someone authentically to fuck right off. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In times of great censorship, subtlety is king.

I didn’t take a screenshot of this, but earlier in the week I had some stranger in the comments asking me to take off my glasses so he can see my whole face… not today, Palantirbot. 🤣

Tucker Carlson is absolutely on fire tonight. 👏

Another report from the #TikTok Mod Wars: this guy has 3.5M followers, and yet his videos this week are being removed and suppressed to the point where fewer than 700 people are seeing them. And all because he dares to criticize Benny Yahoo and the ‘Real Gang. Cool and normal! Nothing to see here! 🙄 #censorship

🥹 a good story from the TikTok trenches for a change.

If we get another influx of users from TikTok, my bad. Lol. The censorship has me riled up. Correct my pronunciation at your own risk lol #grownostr

Hahahaha they just will NOT allow any NOTICING… buckle up yall. This is the canary in the coal mine. Mark my words.

Here’s an example of why I wish everyone’s replies were visible on their profiles on TikTok so that we could see the bots easier…

And we’re back for another round of “what the fuck did I say to get censored?!” 🤣 I’m telling yall it’s out of control over there!

Can somebody tell Michael Shellenberger that he just described Nostr on Tucker Carlson’s show? 😄 #censorship #grownostr

Sometimes all we can do is cultivate our gardens… or so says Voltaire anyway… #gardening #homestead #growstr

Bumper crop of aubergines... Same variety, different light conditions (good light = purple; shaded = golden). This was my first time growing eggplants. Just so you know if you want to try to grow them: They are tall with woody stems and benefit from staking. They are prolific (obv haha) and are still flowering and producing fruits as the rest of the summer fruits are slowing down. The easiest way to preserve them is cube and freeze. Second photo is Thai basil in full bloom. Third is some fun guys I found growing under the tomato forest. 😆 #growstr #harvest #gardening

Lol look they’re taking videos down so fast on tiktok that I didn’t even get to see the one someone tagged me in 8 minutes ago. Now this is what I call a RODEO! 🤣 #censorship

Exactly this. The moment for me was in December 2023 when I asked my husband to show me his home feeds across platforms to compare them with mine. He was seeing zero news from Gaza, and that’s when I realized they are building and reinforcing multiple divided social realities here, not simply doing censorship. View quoted note →

During Covid is when I deleted every post I had ever made in 15 years on Facebook because I could see the direction it was going. I would not call it worse then than now, though. They are still banning and shadow banning like crazy. We still can’t even say the word “vaccine” pretty much anywhere. Maybe X now, but still there is no organic reach on X anymore. View quoted note →
