Most likely, anti-pride users kept reporting the page until a bored, or homophobic, moderator finally approved the reports. Another possibility is Meta are replacing all moderation with AI. In both cases, this is still on Meta since this directly comes from the degrarion of protection of DEI groups.

Hasn't it become standard practice for mass-reports on big social media platforms to automatically shut down accounts and content, with human moderators (sometimes) undoing such after the fact?
-
Zuck has explicitly said they are reducing moderation and relying more on user reports, so....

-
Could also be that reports reached a critical mass, and it was automatically taken down for human review.

Zuckerberg is trying so hard to be as hated as Musk.

Could the government have a role in this? Because I wholeheartedly believe if they could they would.

Please please please stop using corporate social media for organising and events, it locks out people who care about privacy, they have to go searching instead of just being told what happens, and it's just generally a bad experience all around.
I can't wrap my head around the fact that my fav techno club which prides itself on being oh so queer oriented and inclusive uses Facebook to announce their events. In the year of our lord 2025??? Facebook???? For queer shit????????????
For any shit IMO. Facebook a festering hole now, designed to spread hate and monitor people. I quit over 10yrs ago and I am an actual boomer. If this old fart can quit anyone can.
Yeah, I've seen so many queer things use Facebook or Instagram and it's baffling.
Plausible explanation - they want more reach. If you use something as ubiquitous as FB/IG, more people are going to read your page. Region dependents ofc
I know same with many many many other type of "activist" organizations. Like some Anarchist that wanted me to follow there Instagram. I have a lack of faith in your views if you are still on Instagram or similar.
Yeah, same to be honest. It just doesn't make any sense to us how one or many can be an anarchist(s) and not despise corporate social media etc.
As a temparary solution there is a frontend called imginn where you can see the stories and posts whithout an account. now no idea how trustworthy that front end is but ive been using for a while
:o Thanks so much! May we have a link please?
