Weev and Anglin are irritated about some shadowbanning / NSFW filter they say is filtering out their posts. I don't understand this, but I suppose it has to do with mobile. I only do Gab off desktop. Seems like 90% these days do stuff on their phones, and I don't even have a phone, because I'm one of the )))chosen((( lol.

SHADOW BAN


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shadow banning (also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment ghosting) is the act of blocking a user from an online community such that the user does not realize that they have been banned.

By making a problem user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other members of the service, the hope is that in the absence of reactions to their comments, the problematic user will become bored or frustrated and leave the site. If the user never becomes aware that they were banned, it will not occur to them to attempt to circumvent that ban.

History

Michael Pryor of Fog Creek Software described stealth banning for online forums in 2006, saying how such a system was in place in the project management system FogBugz, "to solve the problem of how do you get the person to go away and leave you alone".

As well as preventing problem users from engaging in flame wars, the system also discouraged spammers, who if they returned to the site would be under the false impression that their spam was still in place. The Verge describes it as "one of the oldest moderation tricks in the book", noting that early versions of vBulletin had a global ignore list known as "Tachy goes to Coventry", as in the British expression "to send someone to Coventry", meaning to ignore them and pretend they don't exist.

A 2012 update to Hacker News introduced a system of "hellbanning" for spamming and abusive behavior. Craigslist has also been known to "ghost" a user's individual ads; and reportedly entire accounts. Reportedly, an ad is placed and confirmation is sent that it has been posted; the ad may be viewed in the user's account, but, if ghosted, will fail to show up in the live listings.

In a study that looked at tweets from 2014 to early 2015, over a quarter million tweets were found during the one year period in Turkey to have been censored via shadowbanning. Twitter was also found, in 2015, to shadowban tweets containing leaked documents in the US.

In 2017 Twitter implemented a similar "timeout" feature where accounts could be temporarily restricted such that only their followers could read their message, although this restriction was announced to the user.

MDK, why no updates on when (or whether) Stormfront is coming back online? As an SF moderator, I would think you would be privy to such updates via Don Black or another mod.

Just wondering.

Well, all I do is writing, so I don't want a phone. But laptops are great. I just don't like talking to people lol. A phone is a device that lets people make noise near you even when they are far away. That's like the definition of horror device.

Judging from Anglin's posts it appears gab.ai filters out posts containing the word 'nigger' from search results unless you have NSFW (Not Safe For Work) enabled.

Anglin says he doesn't want to enable NSFW because then he also gets porn in his search results.

I wouldn't be surprised if 'nigger' is a trigger word that companies look for when monitoring the traffic of their employees.

Gab is starting to take off. I had 600-700 followers for a long time, then it has recently shot up, in a couple weeks, to over 1100.

Well, 'nigger' is a foul word describing a foul race. I don't necessarily disagree with soft-censoring foul language. It depends on where it is. In a place like this forum or on /pol/ or somewhere similar, it's ridiculous. If you found this site, you know what you're getting before even coming here. But what yahoo does with their comment section is automatically censor it foul words with '$%#@' is acceptable, IMO. You don't need foul language to express yourself.

I can definitely see why they would want to implement an NSFW filter. If they want to put it in the mainstream there has to be some sort of content filter.

Welp.

There goes that.

I just became the first person to be censored on Gab.

https://gab.ai/a/posts/11607086

I'm not deleting the post.

Myself and other investors were promised free speech. This was apparently a lie.

When I get banned, meet me on the DS BBS.

Man, I'm with you. The idea of being reached anywhere, anytime is hellish. I have a cheap phone that I carry around only for calling 911 after a car breakdown or other road emergency. I have relatives (female) in other states who say "Why don't you call me?!" I would, but I don't want to have the damn phone glued to my head for 3 hours, sweetie....

NEWS FLASH: Men are not women; we don't live to talk like the gals do - unless the subject is racial politics, then I can make them roll their eyes & look at their watches....

Any platform which is free speech will eventually (if it gets big enough) be destroyed by the jews. There really is no way out of this short of a few thousand Robert Bowers' acting at once.

These "smart" phones make people slaves, they watch all day like zombies on that thing. Real life passes them,last time when i travel with the metro i saw a old woman read a book.At the stop i give here a cup of coffy,she ask me why i do that.I tell her what i think about these phones,we talk for a hour.When i go my direction i greet hear with the message,thank you for your time and atention.She give me her addrres and some info,i thank her for that.Since that moment we have several talks,she turned out as a WN/NS.From now on i go weekly with some comrades to her house to discus subjets,on a phone i will never ever meet this woman only in real life you can look people in the eyes.

Over on GAB Torba is posting tons of nature pics and quotes from the Bible when he's not purging people for anti-Jewish remarks. I don't know if he has the usual Christian guilt complex or is doing all this virtue signaling to protect himself from civil suits and from that kike AG in Pennsylvania who would have no qualms if a black man used twitter to spew anti-white hatred then murdered a bunch in cold blood.

I totally agree about "smart phones." I have one: however, I only use it to call my wife or if she calls me, at least 99.9 percent of the time. I have an app on mine which locates my car anywhere in the U. S. if it got stolen, which would be hard to do with the security systems on it. Otherwise, I had to get used to phones at an early age because my parents had their own business and I was working in it. And, of course I had to have them when I was in medical practice.

I do envy you that you have some real life WNs you can meet with and talk to face to face. I'd give a lot if some were in my general area, even miles from where we reside. I wish you lots of good times with your WN friends.

The NEW ORDER has (or had) a Gab account, which we intend to continue after Torba finds a new server.

And of course we will continue to participate here on VNN, as we have for years.

Fight & no surrender!
