MAGA Apologists Seize Control of Neighborhood Facebook Group
(yall.theatl.social)
Members of Atlanta’s Ormewood Park Facebook group, have recently found their discussions of:
- Organizing protests
- Requests for information regarding criminal activity
- Woman's Rights (Abuse, Reproduction, etc)
- Civil Rights topics
- Corruption, fraud, or maleficence by political persons or organizations
- General policies and actions by political persons or organizations
- Graphics (memes, infographics, etc) referencing any of the above
- Links to sites that may express any of the above
... and other community concerns increasingly censored by a small group of moderators shaping the conversation by blocking and removing any content they find objectionable or supportive of views deemed controversial to the growing authoritative regime.
In a move seen in similar online communities such as Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), communities are being deprived of long-standing means to coordinate resistance to increasing controls on speech, gathering and resistance.
It is been a slow rise, "moderating" content that they find objectionable by applying a rule against "controversy" and "policy". They get really upset if you point it out! When they get called out too much over it, they dial it back for a while, but are right back at it after they think enough time has passed.
