#1 Social Media Thread
Weev and Anglin are irritated about some shadowbanning / NSFW filter they say is filtering out their posts. I don't understand this, but I suppose it has to do with mobile. I only do Gab off desktop. Seems like 90% these days do stuff on their phones, and I don't even have a phone, because I'm one of the )))chosen((( lol.

SHADOW BAN From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Shadow banning (also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment ghosting) is the act of blocking a user from an online community such that the user does not realize that they have been banned. By making a problem user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other members of the service, the hope is that in the absence of reactions to their comments, the problematic user will become bored or frustrated and leave the site. If the user never becomes aware that they were banned, it will not occur to them to attempt to circumvent that ban. History Michael Pryor of Fog Creek Software described stealth banning for online forums in 2006, saying how such a system was in place in the project management system FogBugz, "to solve the problem of how do you get the person to go away and leave you alone". As well as preventing problem users from engaging in flame wars, the system also discouraged spammers, who if they returned to the site would be under the false impression that their spam was still in place. The Verge describes it as "one of the oldest moderation tricks in the book", noting that early versions of vBulletin had a global ignore list known as "Tachy goes to Coventry", as in the British expression "to send someone to Coventry", meaning to ignore them and pretend they don't exist. A 2012 update to Hacker News introduced a system of "hellbanning" for spamming and abusive behavior. Craigslist has also been known to "ghost" a user's individual ads; and reportedly entire accounts. Reportedly, an ad is placed and confirmation is sent that it has been posted; the ad may be viewed in the user's account, but, if ghosted, will fail to show up in the live listings. In a study that looked at tweets from 2014 to early 2015, over a quarter million tweets were found during the one year period in Turkey to have been censored via shadowbanning. Twitter was also found, in 2015, to shadowban tweets containing leaked documents in the US. In 2017 Twitter implemented a similar "timeout" feature where accounts could be temporarily restricted such that only their followers could read their message, although this restriction was announced to the user. |

MDK, why no updates on when (or whether) Stormfront is coming back online? As an SF moderator, I would think you would be privy to such updates via Don Black or another mod.
Just wondering. |

Well, all I do is writing, so I don't want a phone. But laptops are great. I just don't like talking to people lol. A phone is a device that lets people make noise near you even when they are far away. That's like the definition of horror device.

Judging from Anglin's posts it appears gab.ai filters out posts containing the word 'nigger' from search results unless you have NSFW (Not Safe For Work) enabled.
Anglin says he doesn't want to enable NSFW because then he also gets porn in his search results. I wouldn't be surprised if 'nigger' is a trigger word that companies look for when monitoring the traffic of their employees. |

I can definitely see why they would want to implement an NSFW filter. If they want to put it in the mainstream there has to be some sort of content filter. |

8 minutes Welp. There goes that. I just became the first person to be censored on Gab. https://gab.ai/a/posts/11607086 I'm not deleting the post. Myself and other investors were promised free speech. This was apparently a lie. When I get banned, meet me on the DS BBS. http://bbs.dstormer6em3i4km.onion/ |

I guess it's like fear of water, either you have it or you don't, and you have to simply acknowledge it exists if you don't.
Some people get all weird when you make fun of dead people, it triggers something deep inside their subconscious. I don't think it has been researched, but it's one of those weird psychological traits that seem to be distributed randomly but are more common in some racial groups than others. The Jews instinctively knew to jump all over it though when Anglin made his fat joke. They saw their opening and went for the kill. I had my doubts about Torba just from watching his videos, but I've officially lost faith in gab.ai. |

Torba must have considerable technical skills; his politics is the level of patriotard. All the indices are there: the bible-retardation, the bravado about free speech; the not-getting that free speech is different from a slogan.
Heather Heyer's no different from St. Skittles. The media turn these idiot-criminals into saints. What could free speech possibly mean except giving others the chance to deflate these false images? Last edited by Alex Linder; September 4th, 2017 at 02:07 PM. |
