I just deleted my Instagram account.



I should have done it sooner, but I'm glad I did it.

I opened the account shortly before it was acquired by "Meta." Zuckerbeast's company.

I opened it to promote my Study Abroad program to Italy.

Well, lately I've been encountering more and more ugly hate speech on the platform: stuff like the "n" word, like the actual word, calling people "dirty jews" etc.

I report them, and then I get notified that they don't violate community standards. I mean, if the "n" word doesn't violate your "community standards" that just means you have NO standards.

I cannot participate in a platform that allows that.

So, I deleted it.

Suck it, Zuck.

All that "hate speech" is coming from your fellow lefties. Moron.

Either that or this is -fiction:

I've been on conservative-libertarian discussion sites since 1998 and have seen just 3 or 4 racist members. The first was a Stormfronter who got heckled from the site. The rest were a few who kept trying to sneak in racist crap amongst other non-racial posts, kept getting quashed, and after too much Mod/Admin patience, got perma-banned. The Stormfronter imagined a conservative site  would be open to his crap and learned otherwise; the more subtle ones eventually learned that smoke-screening racist insinuations with decent non-racial posts eventually got them to rope's end (FWIW, had I been a Mod on that site, I would have been urging/executing their perma-ban a year or two earlier.).

Good point

Good point

I had not noticed what DUmmie posted the claim, but seeing that it was Coventina makes it seem more likely to me that it's -fiction. She casually lies about people she disagrees with.

Suck it, Zuck.

Zuck neither noticed, nor cared.  Doubt too many others did either.

Don't remember who I stole that from, but quotes cause I don't get to take credit for it.

Did they beg you to come back or did they just say adios loser

That was my exact thought also: the DUmbass has encounter its fellow DemonRats in the wilds of Instagramistan.

[DUmpDiver]

The DUmmie left Instagram without a GBCW post?

If you saw the “N” word and the poster didn’t get banned, it’s because the poster is black and for some odd reason they have special permissions.

Not being on I'gram or knowing its workings, are all I'gram posts viewable by every I'gram user? Users cannot choose what type of user sees posts (e.g. friends only)?

You can choose to share with all or just your contacts.

I see a lot of racist type posts, but it’s almost always black people.

I’m seeing more and more black people pushing back against the hood mentality though. Even black folks have black fatigue.

That was me, and I must confess, I got it from the forums at Hockey’s Future, a.k.a. HFBoards. I don’t remember all the details, but someone (I think a Canucks fan) started a thread to vent about something. In their OP, they said something like “I know this thread will get locked, but I’ll take one for the team”. Someone replied with “Bask in the glow of your computer screen, noble martyr.”

1. So either coventina was virtue-signaling or posted -fiction for DUmp Cred.

2. The racism the MSM and Lib/Prog pols refuse to see or acknowledge.

3. People who make noise get media visibility. Blacks who haven't bought into Victim Identity are too busy being normal, so they are MSM-invisible.
