So, this is how Zuck decided to start the day. FY and all the I, we will not be doing any of this. This is what turned twitter into a right wing nazi filled shit hole. We have a handful of mods and terms and conditions, etc we still follow the 1 rule, don't piss off Alexander. Simple enough. Posting bs false information is not permitted. If this is a problem for you, truth social and x and now fb is your home. Stick with the chain emails from your great aunt who shares every piece of nonsense to the family that usually eyerolls and deletes it. Tiktok is also under scrutiny for potentially being sold to a extreme right wing Canadian idiot. Do not be surprised if the last holdouts are Bluesky and here. I don't even know what to say. Fascists and billionaires are taking everything that's not nailed down and stuffing it into their pockets.
An additional addon has been implemented and it's request is an interesting one.
NSFW.
As porn is strictly prohibited on Tiboko, yet in the Native world, this brings conflict. Not the porn part, but nudity. A lot of old historical photos cannot be added on facebook or instagram or well, pretty much any social media site nowadays. Even for artistic or news purposes. Dancers and performers who are Indigenous often find themselves at odds with marketing themselves as the "push the edge" of what these sites consider acceptable. Even tho profiles can be made to be "friends only" as can posts and even Groups can be members only upon approval (Our test Group marked as Monde d'Addams, some have noted) these all exist, yes. But, for things like history or pre modern times or even some of the Tribal Rituals and videos push the limits of what some feel comfortable posting for fear of losing ones account, we have added -Sensitive Post-. In sum, users will be able to mark "sensitive" posts (NSFW/nudity,violence(police brutality, etc) spoilers etc). The entire post content will be hidden until clicked. What lays behind the post is up to the poster. It's the same as what reddit and fb use. A blur with an eyeball.
