See? It’s wrong…

I recently wrote the post Doing it wrong here. It had not been shared yet, as it was scheduled behind several other posts that I've already written before. So the text had not been shared yet, when I got to Mastodon one day, and someone bluntly told me that I was doing it wrong. It sounded very accusing, and it triggered all the old trauma bits with me... I ended up just blocking them, as I don't need that kind of abuse. Fortunately, some very sweet friends sent me very nice and supportive messages. But still, the one nasty remark triggered loads in me, and I had a rubbish night with bad nightmares. 😢 I don't understand why strangers have this much power over me. Even when I know I was trying to do the right thing... […]

Day 30 cont 🗳️🇨🇳

“I don’t want there to be any concerns about this, and in the interests of full transparency, I’ve contacted the #AEC and the Department of Parliamentary Services and given them the details that I gave to #TheAge yesterday about my #relationship with those #volunteers and with Mr #JiJianmin I’ve said, look, if you’ve got any concerns, please investigate.”

“[They’re] people who attended a dinner where a community leader [JiJianmin] said that he supported me and he supported my #values, and thought that I’ve been very #supportive of the community in recent years, and for that reason he thought people should #Support me now. I’m grateful for the support the Chinese Australians have given me in the last three years.”

I’ve got the nod from the #CCP.

At least #Perplexity got one thing right:

-----
Multiple #independent #investigations and #leaked #internal #data confirm that #SocialMedia platforms—especially #Meta (#Facebook and #Instagram)—have engaged in #widespread, #systematic #censorship of #pro-Palestinian #content, often in direct response to #Israeli #government #requests[1][2][3][4][6][7]. This censorship has resulted in the #removal, #suppression, or #shadowbanning of tens of thousands of #posts and #accounts, with a disproportionate impact on users from Arab and Muslim-majority countries, but also affecting users worldwide[2][3][4][6].

Key points from the evidence:

- Meta has complied with 94% of Israeli government takedown requests since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 90,000 immediate removals and the suppression of millions more posts through automated systems[2][3][4][6].
- The vast majority of these requests targeted #content #critical of #Israel or #supportive of #Palestinians, and only a tiny fraction targeted Israeli users[3][6].
- #HumanRightsWatch and other NGOs have documented this as a #global, #systemic pattern of #censorship, not isolated incidents[1][5][7].
- There is no comparable evidence of systematic censorship or suspension for users expressing pro-Israeli views; the #documented #bias overwhelmingly targets pro-Palestinian speech[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

In summary, the documented reality is that pro-Palestinian views are aggressively censored on major social media sites, while pro-Israeli views do not face the same level of moderation or suppression. This creates a significant imbalance in the digital public sphere[1][2][3][4][6][7].

Answer from Perplexity: pplx.ai/share

@israel@a.gup.pe @palestine@a.gup.pe @gaza@a.gup.pe

Human Rights Watch · Meta’s Broken PromisesThe 51-page report, “Meta’s Broken Promises: Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content on Instagram and Facebook,” documents a pattern of undue removal and suppression of protected speech including peaceful expression in support of Palestine and public debate about Palestinian human rights. Human Rights Watch found that the problem stems from flawed Meta policies and their inconsistent and erroneous implementation, overreliance on automated tools to moderate content, and undue government influence over content removals.

#fedifreinds we have so much going on that, even here, it is really easy to slide back into the abyss of #doomscrolling.

Please, take some time to step away, go #breathe some outside air if you are in a safe place, play a #game with your friends, family, kids & or animal companions. Read or watch something #fun & not attached to reality if that helps.

We have a long hard, road ahead and need to practice some #selfcare.

Let's be #kind & #supportive.

I'll be back later 🙂

There's a sense of #joy in spotting a #random comment on #Mastodon and replying with something #nice, #supportive, considered or just #chatty with no expectations at all. It gives me a #good feeling, a sense of #virtual #social #connectivity.
Exchanging a pleasant comment in a #checkout #queue with people I'll probably never see again makes me #nostalgic for my #childhood in the #north when it seems #people were more social with #strangers. Was it was just a northern thing?

#quietsunday not turning out the way I had hoped. Wife (going into week 9 of post-pneumonia coughing) took a turn for worse this morning, so declared a covid test tobe in order. To be #supportive, I took one too.
We both have #COVID19 .
I was at the tail end of my first #bronchitis in 12 years, and Wednesday things went bad suddenly. Aches, random sweats, running nose, digestive issues. #Flu, I figured.
I now think I got Covid on Wednesday. Before my test (if you had asked me) I would have said today I feel better than any day in two weeks.

Maybe I am almost done with it? Had all my jabs, but I am 75 and so was extra cautious.
Sunday. Hmmph.

Associated PressTarget on the defensive after removing some products aimed at LGBTQ+NEW YORK (AP) — Target once distinguished itself as being boldly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. Now that status is tarnished after it removed some products aimed at LGBTQ+ and relocated Pride Month displays to the back of stores in certain Southern locations in response to online complaints and in-store confrontations that it says threatened employees’ well-being.

#Design for #Neurodiverse #Inclusivity:

#Invisible challenges include: #autism spectrum; learning challenges; developmental challenges; and #MentalHealth. What role does the #BuiltEnvironment play in #disabling these user groups? How can we, as built environment practitioners, learn from this #diverse #perceptual model? How can we design in a way that is more #facilitative, #supportive and #accessible for #neurodiverse perceptual models?

#TransJoy is an #actofdefiance and #power

Everyone needs to see #examples of #parents #accepting their #trans #children, #trans #youth #graduating from #college, #nonbinary #people #working in their chosen fields, and #workplaces providing #supportive #environments.

They need to see #trans #people falling in #love, going on #vacation, having #children and owning #dogs. They need to #witness #trans people #hiking, going to the #gym and playing on #sports teams.

And I love that #kindness! I love that this is #uncynical #television when, for many years, cynicism and meanness was the norm. Where panel shows proliferated, and excelled by weaving pre-written quips into monologues.

And it got me thinking that this was not the only wildly successful #British television example.

There's also The Great British Bake Off (#BakeOff) where an ostensibly competitive group of amateurs are more #supportive than competitive.

It has 13 seasons and counting!
