@pertho I wish I *could* do that.
Unfortunately a fair few of the activist groups I'm involved with use it extensively as their only means of organisation and communication.

@kitdarko That means law enforcement, political police, governments have full access to it. 🙁

@pertho Yup.

I mentioned that to the leader of the local branch of a group I'm in, and their response was basically "eh, I don't see the problem with that"

@pertho It's for this reason that I use signal for anything of substance where possible

@kingannoy apparently big platforms like facebook and twitter have blacklists of words like "white", "man", etc., and flag posts that have been assessed as containing those terms and having an angry tone.

It's bad enough that it silences legitimate anger from oppressed groups, in this case you're right, the metaphor is very literal and it's all calmly composed.

@kitdarko
Wow, that is messed up...

I guess that is what you get when you filter everything by algorithm.

If you do get a ""impartial"" algorithm to do your policing it would be weird to exclude a group from that, even if that one group is the only group that is not oppressed.
