FB R U KIDDING ME?

So I go to facebook, which I only do about once a week just to let everyone know I'm still alive, and my account is restricted because of a post someone shared to my feed, 10 years ago. A chalk drawing by a child.

Zuck's AI has gone insane....
 
I tried social media but it's not for me. Absolutely cannot stand it. And don't appreciate what they do with the info they collect and sell.
It's crazy. They say I violated their standards but where the flack do you think the picture came from??? THEIR website. And it's not even MY POST, lmao!!! I didn't even remember it when I looked at it, took a few to figure out the person that posted it to my page DIED SEVEN YEARS AGO....
 
Can you explain to me how the fuck a chalk drawing done by a child can possibly be in violation of FB's standards.

Because it’s being flagged by a poorly implemented AI program with no human review process. I’ve reported actual neonazi groups that I came across and spam posts with graphic violence and porn in them, and been told that they didn’t go against the community standards, while I’ve had posts auto-removed for having the word dead in them (when referring to a dead capacitor in an electronics group).
 
When I went back to college in 2004/5 it had just made its way to Purdue. Those first few years were only open to certain universities. It was great up until it rolled out all over the country, world, and my dad showed up on it, then aunts and uncles, and grandparents, and people that just learned about the world wide internets, and it just went downhill and became a cesspool. Just like with Reddit, the masses made it fundamentally change and there are good parts about it- FB groups and specialty subreddits- but for the most part, eh. I deleted my og 15 year old FB and Reddit account a couple of years ago.

Get off my lawn! 😂
 
I've had a couple old posts (years old even) pop up as supposedly breaking community standards. You'd have to dig back forever to find them and report them, so I assume they were some kind of bot or AI scanning through my profile. The thing is there was nothing breaking community standards in them. I don't really post anything very spicy. I know at least one I had used the phrase "white people" and I think that was what autoflagged it. What's weird is I've reported multiple posts about people calling people some pretty homophobic things and apparently those do not violate community standards. I finally gave up on that.

Everybody wants to cry about how bad social media is, but I've found that it's largely what you make it. If people are posting things that piss you off or want to argue with you, just block them lol. Lock your profile down, don't add your boss, and don't post anything with sensitive info in it.

One thing to really avoid, never post anything involving what you would do with a gun if you were in a defense/offense situation. Like "I'd chase him down and shoot him" may get you a prison sentence if you were actually defending yourself and in fear of getting killed. It's already happened to several people that should not have posted so unwisely.....
 
I call it FecalBrook for good reason... just an endless stream of :poop:

...and that includes the fully annoying endless scrolling, which sadly has been adopted by so many, such as Premier Guitar (*RIP).
PG used to have topical articles, but the latest from J Sadtwit was nothing but a list of products you should buy — instead maybe mentioning a few types/brands in a general category — nope just one option was shown/listed... Thanks Mr Shilltrick!
Sorry, I digress.

FB autoboton: Also too many other companies following FB's footsteps of having no way to contact a real-life person who could straighten out a problem — or conversely and perversely, I've been struggling with the local telecom for over a year now to straighten out billing problems, but the local brick&mortar shop staff just tell you to go home and phone the help line or look at the FAQ webpage — they are only employed in the physical shop to troll for new suckers customers. F'in useless.

Sorry I digress again... I'll leave this thread and go elsewhere.

They gave me a 2 day suspension for a picture that was a joke, that a now dead friend posted - not me, a child had drawn in chalk on a sidewalk making fun of the child next to him and failed to even describe what the infraction was.

So I marked down the day on my calendar and I won't go back for 2 MONTHS. People are THE PRODUCT that facebook sells. Without us they are bankrupt. If everyone multiplied their suspensions by months instead of days they would very quickly stop.
 
Why stop at 2 months? Just stop using it altogether — if enough people did that it’d be ruined apace with MySpace.
My friends from 60 years ago are spread all over the USA and EU. This is the only place where I can see what they're up to. Unfortunately....

Zuck is about as hideous a monster as a 'person' (sic) can possibly be, and leaving it at that. As Ann Landers was found of saying "Time heals all wounds, and wounds all heels". Yup yup yup.....
 
I understand RetiredUnit1, I do. I just wish the next big thing would come along and turn Zuck's bucks to "shucks, another MildSpades".

My wife just pointed out that many of the deals we've found for furnishing our home were from her surfing the steaming endless slope of caca;
Further in the putrid pile of poo's f(l)avour, a friend just sent me info from the local part of the dung-pile, a guy looking for an upright player.

No other form/method/procedure/means/formula/system/medium/process/mechanism/tack for making contact given, not an e-mail address nor phone number.
Either I get my wife or friend to IM this person on my behalf, or I remain content with continuing my search for an upright outlet in my life
— bottom feeding and waiting for some other organic "luck" to float by.

Meh. Even if I contact the guy, doesn't mean it's going to amount to a pile of...
