A far right media outlet told people to mass report my posts on Instagram, many of them were removed without any notice or ability to appeal.

When a story of mine was deleted and Instagram notified me so I could appeal, it was almost immediately reinstated.

Whatever you think of my posts, I should at least be told they were wrong or against the community guidelines. Instagram happily told me that. If a post on Mastodon is moderated, a user on Mastodon is immediately notified and can appeal. This process can sometimes be intransparent depending on the moderator, but it's a hell of a lot better than having some AI algorithm delete your posts for being mass reported and then gaslighting you that they never existed.

I've been told by a couple of big accounts it sometimes takes days or weeks for you to be able to appeal a decision and there doesn't seem to be any reason for why this happens. Certain AI automated decisions cannot be appealed.

Now that the assassin is confirmed to be a Nick Fuentes fan right winger, nobody cares about Kirk anymore and the golden age of newly discovered Republican empathy has abruptly come to an end.

@ErikUden Are you sure? We don't what his political affiliation was at the moment. Unless I haven't read something. The messages on his bullets were mostly left-leaning.

@shellheim @ErikUden

Not "left leaning" groyper nonsense.

And he was in deep.

@futurebird @shellheim @ErikUden I WANT him to be a groyper. But I think it’s tentative at best at the moment. https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/was-tyler-robinson-a-groyper-charlie-kirk-shooting-suspect-being-linked-to-alt-right-movement-101757703508205.html
