pressuring or forcing media companies to block or shadowban undesirable groups has a similar effect, if clumsier

Look at twitter's 'associated with' clauses

but yeah

it's like...

I'd almost say it's more effficient when it's mild

outright bans and rl big repercussions might make people angry

Of course. Its more insidious

the way it works in china

When it doesn't feel like it comes from the top

"retard colleague keeps posting Alex Jones and lowering my chances of getting visa to go on holiday."

"Fuck him *unfollow*"

suddenly

your'e in an echo chamber of people praising the governemnt

I dabble in Alex Jones

I was using it as an example

he's not even relevant to china I believe

but I dunno what kind of iffy material gets shared there

like not outright banned just.. iffy

I've been looking at our Visa laws here a lot lately and social media can be used to deny a visa so not that far off

yeah well

look at Lauren Southern

(Looking to import my Yank girlfriend/sub... bloody difficult)

Yeah fair point, tho that was dodgy af

Seemed like ministerial intervention

ugh

hope that goes well for you

Anyone knows how much time it takes to get a colored role in this server?

Um...

"Role of color" thank you!

I mean getting out of lurker

which level

joke nvm

Rank 10 I think,

it could take me weeks to get to that

is that how long it typically takes?

Depends how much you talk, took a couple of days for me

i don't want to spam just to get rank though

stop discussing feminism

i bet it's common

I didn't lol. I just was chatty
