Meanwhile, I reported comments calling for the mass execution of LGBT folk and "this is not against community standards".

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
It's insane. Your report requires that someone reads the posts and is literate enough to understand the meaning of the content. It should not stand, and if it was posted by a real local person, then you should alert the authorities.
I reported someone for posting a shock video of a graphic and violent traffic accident, in a local marketplace group. It requires that someone presses play and watches 5sec, yet that was okay dokey.
Facebook's own moderation is beyond being a joke, it's a problem.
The inescapable conclusion is that Facebook's official policy is homophobic.
Damn, all that Women's Suffrage...such a sensitive issue, 103 years later.
Looking at the state of women’s rights across the world, yeah?
Facebook is the ass cancer of the internet.
I sure hope Threads federates this degree of high quality moderated content our way.
Hey now! Ass cancer killed my mother in law. Don't do Facebook like that.
Genocide is just an opinion, but women's right to vote is a sensitive social issue.
Now they get way more publicity from this article being posted all over the internet

Why does this seem to be a go to in every Facebook related post now? This has nothing to do with threads, why keep bringing it up?
So just a shot in the dark since I don’t know much about threads, but who owns it?
Wouldn’t it be fun if every time an article came up about Dunkin Donuts, people just started talking about Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings or Sonic?
Because that makes as much sense as “It’s a topic about Facebook, which is owned by Meta, which also owns Threads.”
I've been on Facebook since it opened to the public and watching it turn into nothing but a nazi recruitment platform over the last decade is very disheartening.
I used to love it, especially the games. Now it's nothing but nazis and bigots ruining it for everyone else and there are no human mods and AI doesn't understand context so the second you're on the defensive you get banned.
facebook's pro-nazi, you can tell by the moderation
Bertram said, “Facebook has, of course, ignored any requests for information – so I do not know for sure it is a human taking the ads down, but that is what appears to be happening.
Of course?
That’s fucked up even for Facebook.
At this point, I don't know that it is...
fair
“The struggle for equal representation and a political voice was at the heart of the suffrage movement."
Well... sort of.
Seems like a sensitive turnout.
