  It wouldn’t surprise me but it’s not like Pixelfed competes with IG in the narcissistic-influencers-posting-every-second way. Pixelfed is basically a federated version of what IG was, before influencers started posting their whole lives there.

  Seems to me the most likely explanation is they got caught and fixed it.

    I agree. There’s also just no reason to give Meta the benefit of the doubt here. Bug or not they’ve done nothing to earn such a charitable response from anyone.

      I have to feel like Meta gives absolutely zero fucks and is completely unthreatened by PixelFed. PF has ~21k active users and Facebook alone has ~3 Billion.

      Seems far more likely that this is just the result of exactly the kind of garbage automated moderation one should expect from Meta.

      Its true. I mean its possible, but with facebook involved? I feel a mistake is way more unlikely

      What kind of bug blocks mention of competitor?

      They’ve demonstrated that they have a global blacklist of terms, and that some competing services are on it. It could have been an accident (though I’m not sure how), but it certainly wasn’t a bug. The blacklist is clearly working just fine.

  I would love to see a list of anything like so that facebook/“meta”/"thread"s, google, X or the rest get caught blocking like so. Be enough for me to start using just anything on the list, and recruiting my friends and family to do the same.
