Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
INTERESTING - Regarding blatant personal observation of Instagram auto censorship….
Since I would place my bets on right around Israel October… IG “technology” has flagged ANYTHING almost I type in comments…. As spam harvesting likes manipulating etc….
With a new page directing you to NO appeal button… and a category for punishment/tracking behavior…
Basically “the “technology” has determined your totally benign comment I LIKE CATS as spam! You can lose your account and livlihood if it keeps doing it! Sorry!”
Right like I can slip some stuff by but then also if I hammer out a lengthy post with capitals about a video game it will trigger it….
Basically when it sees me writing a long paragraph it gets very triggered… when I switch to all caps or start aggressively speaking about anything, or especially politics, it triggers….
As time goes by since October I’ve seen many many many comments talking about exactly this and me expressing my same feelings as here.
Now after last NIGHT…. I briefly caught the Moscow thing on INSTAGRAM before rushing here… I’m not on as much as used to be always on the gram sadly lol…
Wouldn’t you know it I can’t get over it my messy political, radical extremist patriotic the world is on fire and burning chaos desth and destruction FEED…..
Is now DEVOID OF ALL MOSCOW…. ALL FODDER AND RANDOMNESS….
Surely you would think I would be seeing the faces of the terrorists, Putin this Putin that, dramatic statement, death tolls….
Now we all know IG is trying to “shift” away from politics/death while slyly still dosing the app daily…. But it’s locked down CENSORED issue.. for now as the narrative marinates…
Lo and behold the whole point of this post… it seems I’m hammering out a lot of posts today many of them political and blatantly “patriotic” or Q centric without a single issue… not one comment being flagged by the tech…
Edit: oh yeah there’s no way, since I’ve made this post I’ve hammered out a dozen lengthy rants and ravings on political posts using all their favorite keywords and not a PEEP from this AI who JUST YESTERDAY could not stop flagging me.
Maybe it was the discussion I had with the meta AI chat about how it’s AI is so censor heavy, and debating it on wether or not Facebooks “feed manipulating” experiments were comparable to Nazi war crimes since they had no idea of the death toll or mental suffering they unknowingly caused people? Or maybe I’m just on a new list and they’re “letting me cook”
