    That’s fascinating, they crowdsourced and gamified propaganda by weaponizing corporate sensitivity to offensiveness. Thanks for sharing that link, though the host definitely is promoting his own biases while showcasing the app, it was very informative. Reading a little more into this, it appears Hamas has adapted to this technique by relying on Telegram to spread their messaging since the other platforms have removed them for extremist content.

    This makes me appreciate another advantage of the feddiverse, the mass reporting techniques that this approach relies on to silence dissent might work on profit-driven social media companies, but here mods can use their own discretion rather than prioritizing financial and PR motivations for what gets removed like the for-profit companies have to.

      Oh yeah. Caelan definitely have their own biases, they’re quite clearly very left on the political spectrum, but I couldn’t find another video or article where people are going through the app in the same fashion. Search engines mostly gave me rubbish about the ongoing conflict which isn’t at all what I was looking for. Google doesn’t work anymore.
