Heard about the trump shooting first here. Jumped to X, not much current stuff to see there.

We already know for a fact that Meta’s platforms throttle news and political content in multiple ways. Obviously, the algorithm.

But there was an incident a couple weeks ago in which Instagram had a “bug” in settings that was auto muting political content. Meta said it was rapidly fixed.

I got on Facebook to see what anyone might be saying, not that i would see it anyway. I immediately fat thumbed a friend’s post and got sucked into an AI DM abyss. Best part? It was a journalist friend’s non-news status 🤣

On X, you may see that a former POTUS was shot.

On Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram) you will likely see no content about Trump being shot. If anyone is scrolling there now, they could be completely unaware.

It’s already happening. Nostr is already serving its purpose.

Because no matter what country you live in, what you think or believe, whether you even like the U.S. political candidates or not—whether you’re even registered to vote—you deserve to have this information find you. In real time. On the device in your hand.

my normie family found the news on Instagram so it's not a complete blackout

Wonder if they already follow politics or manually changed the setting to ensure they can?

yeah, they already follow politics

It’s all over Instagram now because everyone is sharing it. And people are still self-censoring by using words about it like “unalive,” which we don’t have to do here. We can say kill, shoot, etc.

Nostr is still a cut above.

So now you understand how data is being curated to manipulate reality. Vote for Trump!

I am not voting 🗳️ I have better things to do with my time. Today proves votes don’t matter anyway. Trump has won. Everything will pump.

No doubt about it but now he will really have to drain the swamp.

My Xitter feed showed me the news about Trump.

FB shows me lots of memes because that's what I focus on there, but a couple of memes about the incident showed up. Guess the algo didn't filter them out.

Still they are nothing compared to Nostr. No algo, no censorship. This is where it's at.

Amen

Traditional social media is a sham.
