It'll be "against posting guidelines" because it's something similar or better than what they're doing or they think it will make people leave their site/app (whether it does or not is irrelevant).
Amusingly with the idea of "decentralising activities/platforms" I remember ages ago when all this stuff (social media in general not crypto nonsense specifically) there were people who were "virtuosly monogamous" to their favourite platform while basically slut shaming everyone who was posting willy nilly on every new platform that erupted XD
Posting on multiple platforms is somewhat tiresome though, i did that for a while and then condensed it down. I've recently been trying to work out if I want to try diaspora again and maybe investigate Mastodon but I'm already struggling to keep up with here and I can't shave time from anything else.
I'm honestly not sure I respect Meta enough to think they even took a second to evaluate whether my site is better than what they offer (it definitely is), I think it's far more likely they just auto ban everything based on key words with no possible way to undo it.
Posting on multiple platforms is exhausting, and completely unscaleable (ie, the more engagement you get the more time it all takes). I really do want to learn Mastodon, from the little I know it seems like the best option, but also maybe the least easy to understand.
I definitely hear you though, I don't want you spending too much time on social media, you've got too many feathers to draw!
At least you respect them I guess XD
As far as I can tell from reading and what other people tell me the majority of their moderation is AI and they are supposed to be human reviewed at some point (especially if there's contesting) but there's not nearly enough humans for the amount of reviewing that needs to be done. So they'll either never get around to it or it's infinitely easier to ignore it due to sheer volume.
What do you mean by learn Mastodon, like how to run your own instance? Theoretically it shouldn't be that hard just to use right.
So many feathers xD
Yes! What you're talking about is the content moderation, so if you post something on Facebook, there's a chance it could be taken down if someone reports it or if their AI moderation doesn't like it. You can appeal that decision and I've heard people have varying degrees of luck.
I think this week Meta announced that they are going to let go of their content moderation teams... so, ah, be interesting to see how that plays out.
With my website being banned by Meta - I can't even post in the first place. Any post with a link just won't post until I remove the link. As far as I can tell, there is no mechanism to appeal this.
Sorry, with Mastodon, I just meant I want to put some time into understanding how it all works. I have a Mastodon account that I post on extremely infrequently, but I do want to understand how all the servers link together, etc.
I remember looking into Fediverse with Diaspora (and should really look again because Nextcloud has those capabilities as well but I haven't had any need to activate them yet), I remember it being interesting but nothing else XD Worth looking into if you're interested in that kind of thing.
Best way to learn might be spinning up an instance if you're game ;D
