If Lemmy/Pixelfed/Masto can’t capitalize on this we fucked up.
EDIT: realized it might be email/paywalled. In short, the IG algorithm started showing a huge number of gruesome murder videos to random users for seemingly no reason.
You must log in or register to comment.
apparently the instagram subreddit had alot of posts abt this (source timeworks)
I keep fucking forgetting 404 media is a legit news source and I’m not actually looking at a parody news/onion style community.
Named like one too
There is a simple fix: delete your instagram account.
And join lemmy
Perhaps to desensitize the common person to the impending brutal violence that will be sweeping the united states.
On a related note, if you are a member of a marginalized group in the united states, you are behind the curve if you do not own, and are not basically proficient with, some form of self defense. This includes some kind of martial art, but a visible deterent is prefered.
I like this but realistically what was supposed to be blocked from the algorithm got shown and pushed instead, prob a simple error
I see someone’s been reading their Frantz Fanon
No idea who that is, but I learned an important lesson from Uvalde. One of the values that a capitalist society attenpts to instill is a sense of rugged individualism. Even professional tough guys, when thinking death is on the line, will hesitate, as we saw. As a minority in america, when some iteration of the proud boys comes knocking to check your birth certificate, it is imperative that you get them thinking that there’s a chance that they don’t walk away. Get them thinking, “What about me?” and you chances of survival increase.
I believe it is more refined than that. People in sound mind do not like violence, they want a peaceful and stable life for their families and friends.
If you show violence, you portray a threat. Over time people will be more lenient to surveillance and restriction of freedom in the name of law and order. Look at US people, tolerating torture and widespread vigilance since 11/9. All while still spewing “China bad” or “Putin bad”. Why? The ends justify the means.
Let’s see if it was a mistake or if the violence is here to stay in Meta apps
This happened to a bunch of people yesterday, I ended up being one of them and my feed turned into absolute insanity, now it’s back to shitposts
Instagram is so awful. I go to search and it’s filled with AI girls and cosplay/bikini/lingerie girls. I don’t follow any of those kinds of accounts.
My mother doesn’t use Instagram, but she’s been getting videos on Facebook of people in shootouts/duels/armed robberies/etc, apparently from a brazilian (or at least Portuguese speaking) page, usually ending with someone dead.
Thanks, I hate it (Suno song generator)
Just stop using it. Try sometimes else, you may like it. 🤷

I’m just happy ig is letting porn through. Cooters and hooters out and about is an indicator of a healthy social media environment

Doing the lords work and I appreciate you!
Doing the lords work would probably be to support 404 for doing the lords work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Amen!
Oh they always have a reason, and it’s extremely unethical
That explains a lot for my feed. I’ve been getting more fights, and a lot more republican propaganda than I had ever in the past. I usually just close the app and wait 15 minutes before trying again, which usually “resets” my feed.
