Facebook’s AI Spam Isn’t the ‘Dead Internet’: It’s the Zombie Internet by PanzersGhost in Facebook

I endlessly tried to talk to people who commented on these images, but I had no luck at all. Over the course of several months, I messaged 300 people who commented on bizarre AI-generated images, which I could only do 20 or so at a time before Facebook stopped letting me send messages for several hours. I also commented on dozens of images myself, asking for any human who had also commented on the image to respond to me. Across those hundreds of messages, I got four total responses. One person sent me a thumbs up emoji, then unsent the message. Another person said “your welcome,” one person said “ok” and another, who commented on the specific amputee Jesus Uncle Sam image above, said “Hi Jason. This is my account and this is not fake,” then didn’t answer any follow up questions. Over the years, I have regularly used Facebook messages to contact sources all over the world. While I do not usually have a 100 percent response rate, I get a response most of the time (In December, I was able to get in touch with real artists who were having their content stolen by AI, for example.) When I tried to contact people posting AI spam on LinkedIn last week, I got responses from all five of the people I messaged.

I also posted in the “Um, Isn’t That AI” group and asked if any of the people there had managed to talk to anyone commenting on the posts, because I know many people there have been trying to determine whether these people are “real” or not. 

The overwhelming sentiment was that the accounts commenting on these images were also bots: “In my experience, the supermajority of engagement on viral AI Facebook pages is just as artificially-generated as the content they publish. When exploring their comment sections, one will often see hundreds of bot-like comments interspersed with a few ‘real’ people sounding the alarm to no avail,” Khan Schoolcraft, a moderator of the group, told me. “It’s like yelling into an empty room full of a thousand identical brick walls.”

“This is most evident when the content in question is extremely low-quality, comically absurd or offensive in some way,” Schoolcraft added. “Whether it's a child transforming into a water bottle cyborg, a three-armed flight attendant rescuing Tiger Jesus from a muddy plane crash, or a hybrid human-monkey baby being stung to death by giant hornets, all tend to have copy+pasted captions, reactions & comments which usually make no sense in the observed context. It's as if everything from the creation of the images, to the daily management of the accounts, to their fan base and interactions, has been automated to optimize whatever revenue stream this genre helps generate.”

Most of the AI spam is coming from Facebook “Pages,” which are different from Facebook “Groups.” It is possible to “follow” a Page, but you have to “join” a Group. This is a small distinction not necessarily worth getting into, but it is possible to see all of a user’s historical activity within a Group, but it is not possible to see all of a user’s comments on a specific Page. Despite most AI spam coming from “Pages,” there are also AI spam “Groups” that post essentially the same type of content. These Groups make it easy to track user commenting behavior. Within groups that share AI spam, such as “I Love Jesu,” I was able to click on any user who commented on an AI-generated image and see what they commented on other AI-generated images. I regularly saw accounts that just commented the same thing over and over on every image, suggesting they were bots:

https://www.404media.co/content/images/2024/05/8a052gYgAiftvTSTl757TiONsVLDL7Hi4iQVQAlFYYwfOdwOtivi0KTjQsMszjBPfOj_RSQdO2U8MEeJal7VdyLAtr9RaSsqGgbkCRXAFCMEHSi57TH_C1vNlCw_4sLa1WaodXylZNYNefxnJW5i8wY.png

Several accounts had activity that made me believe that the account once belonged to a human but doesn’t anymore. A lot of the accounts commenting on this type of content shared authentic-seeming and public-facing posts for years (images of themselves with friends, posts about their life, etc) before suddenly posting either nothing or posting only memes and AI content. 

I also found accounts that I think might be being used simultaneously by a real human and a bot. I believe some of these accounts have been compromised, but the passwords have not been changed and so some of their activity is authentic and some of it is not. Specifically, I found a woman whose own Facebook posts—about her job and family, mostly—were exclusively in Greenlandic, but who concurrently commented on AI spam only in English. I also found an account whose wall posts were all in Greek, but who commented on AI spam only in Spanish. My theory is that these accounts have been hijacked to comment and engage with AI spam, but that the owner of the account hasn’t noticed and still has access to the account.

The other thing that I noticed when clicking through to the profiles of accounts commenting “Amen,” “Happy birthday,” or a string of emojis on bizarre AI images is that the overwhelming majority of the accounts engaging with these images have profiles that say they are in countries in the Global South. It is impossible to actually statistically analyze this because Facebook’s platform is so huge, but a huge portion of the comments I saw on this type of content during my research showed that they were from users in Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, Nigeria, and Indonesia. Each of these places has its own, specific internet culture, and some of these countries were given free access to Facebook on mobile devices via Facebook’s “Free Basics” project. As a result, some people in these countries’ first interactions with the internet were through Facebook, which disproportionately gave people exposed to the internet in this way a corporatized, Facebook-centric view of the internet. If you know anything about the Free Basics account creation process or anything else that would lead to these accounts being more susceptible to being hijacked, please get in touch.

Free Basics has been long abandoned, but the fact that these countries seem overrepresented in the comments is notable; Facebook allows you to see where a page admin is supposedly located. DiResta and Goldstein of Stanford found that many of the pages they analyzed had admins who were in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Armenia. Mong Palatino, a Manila-based activist and internet researcher, told me that a mandatory 2022 SIM registration law in the Philippines was intended to cut down on spam and clickfarms, “but fake accounts and bots remain in place. Phone-related scams persist.”

But I think that we can say that Facebook’s emphasis on injecting “recommendations” into people’s feeds means that Facebook no longer approximates anything like a “social” network. Instead of being a mix of popular text and image posts from people within your network and broader community, it is becoming a feed of content that is popular with people all over the world, who speak a whole lot of different languages. You do not need to speak English, or Thai, or Vietnamese, or Urdu to post an emoji responding to a fucked up Shrimp Jesus. In aggregate, across Facebook’s billions of users, this means purely visual content—AI generated or not—is going to have a larger potential audience than content that can only appeal to people who speak a specific language.

Bots and ‘Inauthentic Behavior’

DiResta and Goldstein found using a Facebook analysis tool called CrowdTangle—which Meta is turning off later this year—that at least some of the pages they analyzed for their paper showed obvious evidence of inauthentic behavior and clickfarming. DiResta and Goldstein did a huge amount of their own research which was detailed in their paper, but, because I had already written extensively about AI spam on Facebook, they also dug deeper into a few AI spam pages that I had found. 

One of them was a page called Life Nature, which had previously been owned by a metal music tour booking company called Continental Touring which had 9,400 followers. Stephan Mellul, the booking agent who ran the page, told me in December that the page was stolen from him: “No idea how it happened unfortunately, as I was the only admin and my personal profile is still intact.” After the page was hacked and was converted to AI content, DiResta and Goldstein found that it gained 328,000 followers in the week between December 31, 2023 and January 6. 

“We’ve seen some pages that get 80,000 followers overnight,” DiResta told me. “You can see demonstrably, there is no universe in which those are real people. That is absolutely, 100 percent a click farm. 

Because this page was hacked, and because I reached out to Meta for comment about this specific page, it is one of the few AI-focused pages that I have seen taken down by Facebook. A Facebook spokesperson told me in January that it was investigating this page under its spam/fake account policies, not under any AI policies. 

https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/DBAercm7eWwSVCiDQaZEPzm7E8JZso0GNekX8ZPMLhN9pTux93E65tJ5H4zl4-Rc8wfRfL6jGVSZOKzVTwpz1kJIk9J9Ty2yczn-hsbP9xO0OAwLryiyE8ref2di-01gOS9yBSMw7XG07yYimW3QByM

A figure from DiResta and Goldstein's paper, which showed 328,000 new followers for the "Life Nature" account in one week.

The researchers found that, of the 120 AI spam pages they had analyzed, “46 had changed their names, often from an entirely different subject, and some displayed a massive jump in followers after the name change.” 

The phenomenon is too large, however, to be fully explained by bots.

The Zombie Internet

It is reductive to call Facebook the “Dead Internet.” There are real people on Facebook, and real people are being fed this content. The images themselves are being made by AI at the direction of real humans who have learned that spam can be monetized. Real humans at Facebook the company are choosing not to or are not equipped to take action on these accounts or this type of content, which now makes up an unknown but significant portion of content on the site. AI spam, as well as the specter of AI content, is impacting how real people use Facebook and perceive reality more broadly. Facebook itself is shoving its own AI features down people’s throats, and has made clear that it is going to continue spending billions of dollars on AI features that it intends to make core to its products and business model. 

The biggest unanswered question from my many months of reporting on this is whether real people are actually being fooled by “shrimp Jesus” and other bizarre AI images, and why they are interacting with this content in the first place. 

Real people are interacting with and are being fooled by “realistic” AI content

Here is an AI-altered image from a page called DIY & Crafts, which has 1,800 likes, 713 comments, and 84 shares. A quick glance at this image more or less scans as “real,” because it is a real image that has been taken from a website called Front Porch Ideas and More, which posted it in 2013, and run through an AI image generator to create various AI artifacting (like the garbled text, smoothed knots on the wood planks, and bending on the house’s siding) but not a wholly bizarre image. If you scroll through these comments, most of them are actually engaging with the content of the image.

The AI-altered image on Facebook on the left, and the real image on the right

https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/II37wmC0OSntBugnkVHHHvMWVqB2YsSXG2wNdXrB4H97hO8P6jG0fUm1DznQsHdW8t37ds5Hc83wzvn6shJmupHKjk4B5UCKpLh3z1llDrb70zP30P3WAj_vGjM4WLT_6MA9ELVOmO0muCZwwnge80Y

Comments include things like: “This wood looks awful yellow” and “the middle beam is a goner” and “it looks good so far. I hope you have some kind of waterproof membrane or copper sheet/flashing behind the ledger up under the siding a few inches above and a few inches below the top of the house foundation.” Others say things like “The center joist is not needed. It is taking 1/2 the load of the floor. It is undersized. Size the joists to span to the wall instead and run them from the wall to the outside” and “Hire a real carpenter to fix this. This is very unsafe.” Another comment is “wow, the AI is just in its warm-up stage. To see how many people are taking the time to pick this AI image apart is scary.” 

Lots of the comments have back-and-forths between people who do seem to be real because they are actively engaging with each other and discussing the specifics of the actual image that is being shown. 

I also clicked through to the profiles of people who are commenting on the images, and they largely appear to be profiles that are controlled by real people, and many of them claim to be contractors or carpenters. What I mean by this is that their Facebook profiles have a variety of different types of activity: They are posting images of their families and are tagging them in the posts, are posting about birthday parties, responding to posts on their walls, and are doing things like posting long updates about their children, a funeral they recently attended, politics, etc. This means that real people are interacting with AI-generated images that are being fed to them by Facebook’s recommendation algorithm, and they do not know that they are not real. In my experience, interacting with this type of content means you will see more of it, and more bizarre forms of it. 

It is impossible to calculate an exact number, but given the size of Facebook’s platform and the ubiquity and popularity of AI images on Facebook now, a non-trivial amount of human hours is being wasted thinking, commenting, and giving feedback on AI-altered joists in service of an engagement scheme that converts clicks into dollars via online ads. To be clear, I selected one random photo from one of the thousands of pages that are posting dozens of AI-generated or AI-altered photos every day, and spent a long time finding where the photo originally came from, analyzed the page that was posting it, and clicked through to the profiles of the people commenting on it and analyzed their behavior. This is a microcosm of what is happening constantly on AI-generated images all over Facebook all day every day.   

‘Shrimp Jesus’ and bizarre AI is being boosted by bots, but also by real people

This brings me to the “bizarre” AI images of Jesus, flight attendants, starving children, amputees, etc. I have endlessly tried to talk to the accounts who are commenting “Amen” and “happy birthday” and a series of gifs, emojis, etc on AI spam. I have thus far found nothing to suggest that any real portion of the comments on this type of content are “real.” Let’s look at this image of Uncle Sam Amputee Jesus and a soldier with machine gun:

https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/OUGun2-5T9KY8KSJqMaFeIEHv6jEu5OC6oTAV_k-5_oQSQdCp8ra0jFkYdektYXbbZ1lxzN5va5G4Oh9_tQX2RA9ovuWcQqBBsXytpGRwmYr5CnhrlOs65BMVHitBK2nXrpwn0OSZ_i8gZ0RSHRJAq4

The comments on this are things like “Amen,” “Amin,” “Happy birthday,” “Thank you Lord Amen happy birthday,” etc. On this specific image, the only post that comes from someone who I am sure is a human who is still in control of their own account is from someone who wrote “Same old AI garbage.” 

When I clicked through to the profiles of the people who commented on the unfinished deck, I was able to see all sorts of “real” Facebook activity. But when I clicked through to the profiles of people who commented on bizarre AI, very few of them had any recent public activity (some—but very few—of the accounts do follow normal patterns I would associate with human accounts). 

This was not universally the case, but lots of the profiles didn’t have any posts I could see from the last few years. If they did have recent activity, it was often just an endless number of memes, videos, and AI content reshared to their walls with no additional comment. I was also able to find a few accounts where, when I searched for the person’s name, I was able to find three or more accounts with the same name and profile picture, suggesting that the person had been locked out of their account and had created a new account. To be clear, I have done this same research on hundreds of photos posted by hundreds of different pages, so my assessments in this section are based on that research and not the comments on any single photo. 

Facebook’s AI Spam Isn’t the ‘Dead Internet’: It’s the Zombie Internet by PanzersGhost in Facebook

[–]Drewski 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Over the last few months, many have proposed that the AI spam taking over Facebook is a great example of the “Dead Internet Theory,” which posits that large portions of the internet are made up of bots talking to bots, filtered through the lens of recommendation and engagement algorithms. Facebook is undeniably cooked, a decaying, depressing hall of horrors full of viral AI-generated content that seemingly gets worse every day.

But I do not think Facebook is the dead internet. Instead, I think it is something worse. Facebook is the zombie internet, where a mix of bots, humans, and accounts that were once humans but aren’t anymore mix together to form a disastrous website where there is little social connection at all.

I have spent more time than anyone I know endlessly scrolling through AI spam on Facebook. I have watched the evolution of Facebook’s AI spam go from slightly uncanny modifications of real images to the completely bizarre and obviously fake. I have done this from my own Facebook account, which I have had since 2005, as well as from two burner accounts I created specifically to track how AI-generated content is recommended on the platform and to see whether Facebook would put AI-generated images into my feed organically. I now use Facebook exclusively to see what kinds of bizarre AI content is going viral, and to attempt to figure out who is making it, why they are making it, and who is interacting with it.

Over the last few months, I have messaged roughly 300 people who have commented on AI-generated posts to try to ascertain if they are real, which has been an arduous task because Facebook keeps rate-limiting me. I have studied the profiles and activity of hundreds of Facebook users who are commenting on these images. I have also asked my friends and family, as well as 404 Media readers, to send me examples of AI-generated images they’ve seen on Facebook. I have spoken to Stanford University researchers who attempted to systematically study this phenomenon, talked to Facebook users who have been closely tracking the spread of AI since last year, and I have scanned through tens of thousands of viral AI-generated images on the platform. Definitively saying what’s happening across the entire platform is impossible, because Facebook remains a gigantic social network with billions of active users. But I have now seen enough to make some educated guesses about what is happening.

Facebook’s Recommendation Algorithm is Injecting AI Into People’s Feeds

On Meta’s first quarter earnings call last week, Mark Zuckerberg said that “right now, about 30 percent of the posts on Facebook feed are delivered by our AI recommendation system. That’s up 2x over the last couple of years.” Zuckerberg is referring to a TikTok-like “For You” system on the News Feed where content is being recommended that is not content from pages or groups that users have specifically liked, nor is it content that people’s friends have interacted with. As Stanford researchers Renee DiResta and Josh A. Goldstein found, AI spam is being recommended using this system and is showing up in people’s feeds. I have seen this on my own feed, but I have also seen it on two brand new, burner Facebook accounts I created to research this story.

On one of those accounts, I specifically sought out AI-generated content and “liked” it and left comments on it. Within a few hours, the vast majority of all content being recommended to me was the same bizarre AI spam that has been repeatedly going viral both on Facebook and off of Facebook.

When I first started reporting on AI spam on Facebook, I had to specifically seek it out by joining groups like “Um, isn’t that AI?,” whose members have been tracking AI spam for the last year. I soon realized that the best way to find bizarre viral spam was by simply logging into this alt account, where my feed was quickly taken over by “Shrimp Jesus,” celebrities who had been altered to have their limbs amputated, images of poor African kids who had built something, AI-generated log cabins, etc. With just a few likes, I was able to turn my feed into one where at least 80 percent percent of the content is AI generated, and where the only content I’m being shown is already incredibly viral elsewhere on the platform.

The news feed on a burner account after liking several AI images

While writing this article, I created another Facebook account with the intention of trying to find out if anyone would try to hack my account if I interacted with AI spam. The first image I saw on Facebook after creating this account was an AI-generated log cabin. Six of the first 10 posts I saw were AI-generated spam, which included an entire page full of AI-altered images of Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber. One image was of an AI-generated starving, mutilated child asking for birthday wishes. When I clicked through to the page that posted the image, I saw dozens of AI-generated children, some of whom were seemingly dead, drowning, starving, had amputations, or were some combination of all of those. (Facebook deleted these accounts after I wrote an article about them but did not respond to my email requesting comment and an interview about how it tracks and takes action on this type of content). Another image I saw within seconds of joining Facebook was an AI-generated image of Jesus with an amputated leg, wearing an Uncle Sam hat, sitting in a wheelchair and holding a birthday cake while sitting next to an American soldier holding a machine gun in a war zone.

https://www.404media.co/content/images/2024/05/CleanShot-2024-05-02-at-06.44.25@2x.png

As I began to interact with pages, I was quickly friended by random accounts. I do not think my account has been hacked, but I noticed that the accounts friending me were primarily sharing AI-generated content on their pages and on their Facebook Stories.

The Meta Is Constantly Changing

In online video games, the “meta” is what players generally agree is the best strategy in a given game. Over time, everyone shifts to using this overpowered strategy, creating a new level playing field, until a new meta is discovered. The meta on Facebook is constantly shifting, too.

At first, previously viral (but real) images were being run through image-to-image AI generators to create a variety of different but plausibly believable AI images. These images repeatedly went viral, and seemingly tricked real people into believing they were real. I was able to identify a handful of the “source” or “seed” images that formed the basis for this type of content. Over time, however, most AI images on Facebook have gotten a lot easier to identify as AI and a lot more bizarre. This is presumably happening because people will interact with the images anyway, or the people running these pages have realized they don’t need actual human interaction to go viral on Facebook.

As many people have pointed out, AI images on Facebook have gone from feeling “slightly off” but based on reality to being utterly deranged.

The types of content I have seen go viral have ranged from AI generated log cabins and kitchens and nature scenes and AI-filtered celebrities to shrimp Jesus, Jesus with hot flight attendants, deformed children, deformed celebrities, hot soldiers, African children who “built” something, and variations of all of the above. Some images have begun to use Facebook’s 3D image uploading capabilities, which might help the content perform in the algorithm in some way. In my own internal categorization, I have put images into two categories: “Realistic” AI images and “Bizarre” AI images.

What seems obvious to me is that real people are being fooled by “realistic” AI images, and bots are propping up “bizarre” AI images. Both types are getting injected into real people’s feeds.

It's probably pretty close on political speech (Post Musk takeover, obviously old Twitter was a lot worse). Saidit might be slightly better on that category still, but Saidit also has a blanket ban on porn, so I'd say Twitter wins over all.

The emergence of RustDoor malware, disguised as a Visual Studio update, unveils a sophisticated threat landscape.

Cuba sentences 22-year-old mother to 15 years in prison for publishing videos of protests by Cancelthis in InternationalNews

That's, of course, awful.

However, Cuba is sitting right next to and under embargo by a hostile military hyperpower, actually the most hostile, militarised and aggressive power in the world, which seems to be in the business of constantly (directly or by proxy) attacking some-or-other country. It is, and has been for a while, controlled by a permanent deep-state 'Neocon' regime, always looking for excuses for the next attack, bombing, invasion, regime-replacement, ... These Neocons would love to use 'just helping the poor Cuban protesters' to then install some Zelensky-type ('friendly to US interests') puppet-government in Cuba.

Under these circumstances, trying to widen through social media anti-government protests (even non-CIA-funded ones) may be argued to present a real national danger to an independent Cuba.

That's probably the calculus behind that terrible Cuban Law that restricts the use of information 'through telecommunication/ICT infrastructures, platforms or services, of content that threatens the constitutional, social, and economic precepts of the State.'

Let's just hope that this kind of law does not become a thing everywhere.

[–]ssslae [score hidden] 6 hours ago What American idiots (western idiots in fact) don't understand (suffer from an extreme cognitive-discordance) is that north America and western European countries are empires. The nature of all empires require slaves (free) and low costs labor to maintain the status-quo. As empires, they stole non-whites' lands and import other non-whites to work their industries. Many Asians are successful in the U.S., but who's in charge and why do Asians work in a gilded cage or under a bamboo ceiling? China hasn't stalled, not according the professor Richard Wolff. What the U.S. wants from China is similar to what they wanted and got from Japan, and that is for China to be another of America satellites. Japan's lost decade was a result of the U.S. monetary policies directed at weakening the Japanese's Yen. I would go as far as suggesting that the Covid Lock down might be part of trying to weaken China. I don't know anything about India so won't get into it. I have no doubt many Asian countries are Xenophobic, but it has more to do with lack of experience rather than some grand racist eugenic bullshit. I will give credit to North Americans for their tolerance of multiculturalism. It's not perfect.

[–]TheWiseSquid884 [score hidden] 2 hours ago By quoting Richard Wolff on China you have basically said you do not know what you are talking about. He's a deluded Marxist when he speaks on China (as well as on a bunch of other topics, so basically, a deluded Marxist). He buys the official stats published by the CCP, which anyone who actually knows a thing or two about them knows that they are garbage. The real estate sector in China is in essence their main financial sector, because most mainland Chinese don't invest in the stock market. Now that Xi has shut down the real estate sector fearing a future even greater real estate collapse that was bound to happen and potentially be the catalyst for the CCP's downfall, hence he did what he did, on top of that most of the money was tied to his political opponents in the Shanghai gang, weakening the real estate sector on his terms was a way to weaken his opponents within China and have a real estate meltdown on his terms. But anyways given that the Chinese financial system is in meltdown, GDP growth, let alone around 4-5%, is absurd. Dr. Richard Wolff is either lying or an ignoramus on this topic if he believes that China is still growing. Reality does not match the absurd claims from Beijing on current Chinese growth. China probably has a large youth unemployment crisis. It fits what's going on. Japan benefited immensely from economic ties to the US during the Cold War. It grew a ton with US help (their own culture and society being the most essential aspects but the US was a very important extra to get to even higher places), but that made Japan more dependent on the US. Economics has trade offs. China's economy since a few decades ago depends immensely on exports to maintain the level of prosperity they have, and the largest consumer market in the world is the US. Like Japan, it has a dependency on the US economically. Its just the way things work. Majority of Asian countries are relatively xenophobic, and East Asian cultures historically have been very xenophobic, with a strong emphasis of their own nation versus the "foreign barbarians". America, while having a very racist past, is at its heart a country that has a long history of absorbing tens and tens of millions of foreigners into the American nation, including Asian Americans for the past number of decades. China instituted its own covid lockdown, which was far harsher and more stringent than in America or anywhere else in the West, especially for the duration it lasted. Was that also part of a conspiracy to weaken China? The US wants China to weaken, and one of its main strategies is to let the Chinese shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly, which they have been showing tremendous ability in doing so over the years.

[–]Mcheetah 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Why do you think SaidIt has more free speech?

Because of all of the unironic use of "nigger," "shitskins," "kill Jews," and actual unhinged threats to people's lives I used to see on the front page all the time on this site when first joining. (Only time I've ever suggested someone should die on here was directed towards pedophiles and others harming children and I stand by that argument.) And like I said; I'm not against free speech, but it doesn't mean I should have to look at insane ramblings and insults all the time, either. Let these people post their unhinged psychotic shit all they want, but also let me block them so I don't have to see it and can interact with the slightly less insane people on here.

But no; the Block feature pretty much just hides their comments from view (though you can still see them if you peek them open) but still allows them to follow you around and post crazy shit non-stop. I have like six people on here who do that, though I think one of them just has three alt accounts. Which as I said, I also used to get from burner accounts from far-leftists on Reddit too. But the difference is, Reddit actually fully bans communication from these people to where they can't even see you on the website after blocking them. Where as Saidit still lets them be part of my Fan Club.

And I honestly wouldn't even care if they didn't post so much shit at once. I did one post that had like 22 comments on it, with only four of them visible to me. And it's all the same old childish "I hate you" and generic slur/insult here and there, along with a lot of projection. There's legitimate Mcheetah Derangement Syndrome on Saidit, as if I'm someone famous or special. I guess I never imagined some people can have dicks that small to waste their finite time on a total stranger on the internet who's opinions are pretty tame compared to a lot of the out-there, unhinged extremist shit you see on this site.

Like I said, free speech is fine, but no one's entitled to free attention.

Saidit has more free speech, but the same type of shitty, judgmental assholes on it just like Reddit, only they're on the other political extreme; being white nationalist retards instead of woke retards. I don't use Twitter, but I'm pretty sure it's garbage and doesn't even allow you to say "retard" on there.


Free speech does come with a price and that includes having to deal with a lot of horrendously immoral people who should've probably been aborted (including numerous unemployed, no-life stalkers who literally have nothing better to do than follow you around every single post and project their personal failures in life onto you as some kind of twisted therapy, as others have shown me through screenshots in DM's), but I do remember the late 2000s and early 2010s when we had the best of both worlds: Free speech and not that many psychopaths exiled into one corner of the internet. 2012 is when everything became corporate and the "Enshittification" started happening. Twitter, for the longest time, was only used and ran by far-woke idiots, so nothing was really lost there.

But by far the biggest example of enshitting is YouTube, where you now can't even say or type "dead," "killed," "suicide," or "retarded" on there, creating an entire generation of Zoomers and Gen Alpha people who will grow up being normalized to use self-censor baby-words like "bubble" (kill/killed), "unalived" (dead/suicide), "bundle of sticks" (faggots/fags), or "KYS" (kill yourself.) It's not even for Monetization anymore; you literally cannot type these words in anymore without getting 24-hour bans or having your comment insta-removed.

Meanwhile, they have literal porn and Elsagate pedo-bait that they leave up on there, as I showed in another post here on Saidit. YouTube does nothing to remove that content, even if you report it and flag it, but will ban you for saying "retard" or "fag." (Not even in the slur sense to attack others, but in the general "that's stupid or lame" sense.) Shows where their priorities lie and it's not in "protecting people."


The only real problem with Saidit, other than it's userbase of actual alt-right cartoonish stereotypes of conservative "Nazis," and autistic woke leftists spewing sexually degenerate filth to everyone unprovoked, is that the Block feature doesn't work properly and I still get waste-of-sperm stalkers following me around on every single post. I mean, I also had stalkers on Reddit and GaG as well, but I never actually knew of their existence since blocking meant actual blocking and not just shadow-banning them.

So /u/magnora7, when are you eventually going to fix the Block function considering some of the psychopaths on here? Please improve the Block function so these people can't still see us or interact with us on here, adding useless trash to our posts. Even if they'll just create dummy accounts and mirror-troll accounts. It would be greatly appreciated to limit the people on here calling us these words, even if they're allowed to say them. Not trying to mute anyone's mouths; just trying to block my ears from listening to some of these jobless nutters and psychopaths. Thank you.

I hope you didn't ban him over this. Dudes a little different but he's a solid user and there aren't a whole lot of users anymore to be banning them for having opinions on this super annoying CF bullshit.

I remember when when the anti-Trump protesters blocking traffic in Chicago made the news because they blocked an Ambulance. They media quickly lied and said they were BLM protesters.

He still got off with a slap on the wrist and they completely botched the case, likely purposely. They didn't even address the campaign financing fraud.

They pretend he had something to do with crypto, but the fraud he did was simple and common banker tricks. All of our banks are fractional reserves, whom gamble their customers' cash. That is why the dying economy is hurting banks; they gambled wrong with their customers' funds.

We also ignore that regulators were all over him, but not saying a word. They let this happen.

Solid counselling to help them understand why their minds disagree with their biological reality and learning to accept themselves for what they are would help more than medical experimentation with drugs and surgery.

Kind of remarkable. But it makes me wonder if a white guy with an American flag would have been allowed in. The protesters need to prove they're not antisemitic.

Since we all know the majority of modern women are entitled and narcissistic beyond belief, and the majority of modern men lack any amount of masculinity or courage, and neither one of them want to have children, are we literally living in the early extinction days of mankind right now? by Mcheetah in AskSaidIt

[–]SoCo 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

We are being exterminated with hormone disrupting pollution. It is in our foods, our cloths, our furniture, our housing material, our water, and just everything. Everything is flooded with endocrine disrupting chemicals; microplastics, BPA, and tons tons more.

It reminds me of the earlier Batman plot, where the joker was manufacturing many products and poisoning them. Yet, it was only if you used the wrong combinations of those products, did the serious impact hit.

In our situation, all of our products are so poisoned that you have avoid it.

When you pollute the population so much that they start mutilating their genitals and becoming undeniably afflicted with other signs of long term poisoning, your first low-effort attempt to dodge liability is to pretend they chose this and this is just who they are.

We tend to forget that endocrine disruption doesn't just bend your gender, cause people to have emotional instabilities, violent outbursts, and struggle to function in society and learning difficulties. These disruptions to our fundamental hormone balances cause serious medical problems and health problems. Loosing your masculinity is the least of your problems. This impacts your blood sugar your thyroid, cause serious organ problems and large increases in cancer risks.

Yet, this is clearly a long term plan. We are being systematically exterminated. They activated the last steps of whatever this plan is. We have only to worry what the end of the plan is, while we frogs slowly boil.

Some things might just be a well intention mistake, or simple greed, such as corners cut, but somethings are very obvious attacks on the public.

The spike protein was well known to cause infertility, since we've been growing them from the old SARS-2 in bovine liver cells. These proteins after being modified for Covid, bind readily to ACE2. The most plentiful of which are male hormones. This means that Covid and the vaccine are likely to reduce testosterone in men, long term. The flaws in CRISPR that make it too dangerous to use on humans, creating random DNA scaffolding trash and flawed RNA transcriptions, which are well known for generational infertility in test animals. We've known this for decades, but this and similar techniques were used to create covid vaccines. We were told they had solved this problem, but they lied and simply used all the under-tested new techniques thought to slightly help against this. They crammed every one they could find together blindly and just crossed their fingers.

Ukrainian men abroad angry at returning home to fight. by Dune1032 in WorldNews

Although their feelings are understandable, they have no choice unless they want their relatives in Ukraine to live under Putin. If Putin conquers Ukraine, he will continue his aggression and the countries these men are in would be forced to fight. If Ukraine asks, countries these men are in will return them. What country wants men who refuses to fight? See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv9XNFpRdhg&t=27s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZGSfFFuujw

Since the number admitted would be small not much will change. This is the way to peace. Egypt will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. The Sinai is inhospitable, and Egypt doesn’t have the technology to develop it, but Israel does. With its new land, Egypt can give it to the Palestinians, make it a state within Egypt, or whatever it wants.
