Not sure how much sense this makes, but I'm back in Facebook jail.

This time, it's because of a word that starts with f and describes a bundle of rotted wood.

The part that makes no sense to me is that apparently, other people are allowed to use it to describe me, but when I make a little comic about the incident, it gets immediately removed.

All right, so here's the context. I'm in a Facebook group called Cursed A.I., where we make silly stuff using AI for everyone to laugh at. Someone had made a weird comic with Garfield doing a number one over a giant map of the US. I asked what AI the person was using, and another party entirely said, "shut up fagggot" (note the intentional misspelling meant to bypass the bots that filter for language). That comment remained for 6 hours before I woke up and saw it.

Six. Hours.

360 minutes, during which anybody in the group could have reported it. But no, everybody thought that comment was perfectly fine.

By contrast, when I replied to that comment with a comment suggesting that user is a female dog, my comment was deleted instantly. No hesitation. Isn't that funny? Isn't it just funny how that works out? Well, I reported the offending content, and to Zuckerberg's credit, it was deleted immediately.

Next morning, I found I couldn't stop thinking about the incident, so I decided to complain in the most natural (for that group, anyway) possible method available:


The post was approved, then less than a minute later, it was taken down, and I had my group and video calling privileges revoked. Hate speech, they said.

Makes total sense, right? Especially since they aren't consistent in enforcing this stuff. Just the other day, I had well over half a dozen reports of homophobic comments denied, but this is the hill they want to die on?

@jshm2 Well, that's great. I previously got an image taken down that was an actual still shot of Donald Duck from a Disney short that looks suggestive out of context but was included in a movie for children, so I guess I'm toast. Besides, the Facebook admins hate me because I report every instance of hate speech I find, even though Zuckerberg no longer considers it hate speech.

I’m not surprised at all.
