New @ me @FDRLST✍️

Facebook, Reddit Ban Pro-Cop Comic That Broke No Platform Rules🚫

The largest #comics social media page on the net,

r/comics on Reddit banned @BloodyRedBaron & his new pro-cop superhero comic for racism & misinformation,

They also banned the @FDRLST citing my article for Baron's ban

Hat tip to @BleedingFool & @BoundingComics
In addition, Facebook has made it all but impossible for Baron & others for ads on Facebook for the Thin Blue Line @Indiegogo campaign,

Blocking ads under the "sensitive social issues that could influence public opinion" rubric
#comics #nerd #kickstarter #politics #conservatives
The ad, which is only a link to the IndieGoGo campaign shouldn't be put under the sensitive social issues framework🤔

Facebook allows much worse without such a tag,
such as the porn comic site @Toomics_EN 👇
#comics #manga #anime #comicsgate #nerd
On appeal Facebook says Baron needs prior authorization to post an ad
which hes submitted but never heard back from

Possible, though extremely unlikely,
he'll be allowed to post ads in the future
thefederalist.com/2022/01/28/fac… #comics #istandwithvic #SpiderMan #Batman #SupermanAndLois
From personal experience, non-media & journos have a much harder time getting authorized

Even if he gets past the first barrier,

nothing guarantees they will allow him to post an ad
Not only has Facebook denied ads, but they also locked them out from sending messages 🔒

😒

NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING

Sharing non-pornographic comics does not violate Facebook standards, there's nothing in the posts that that are worthy of being blocked & punished

thefederalist.com/2022/01/28/fac… @chadfelixg @VitoGesualdi @ComicBook @EthanVanSciver #comics
For conservatives, heterodox & ComicsGate creators,

social media giants made it clear again they're at best 2nd class citizens on the web

Whether by bans by policy (FB) or by control freaks in moderation (Reddit) non-lefty's are to be silenced & banned thefederalist.com/2022/01/28/fac…
As for me & @FDRLST ,
I dont have a racist bone in my body🦴

Not written about race,
neither have I knowingly printed misinformation

We ran an interview about a new comics project,
that doesn't make us bigots🗯️
#journalism @reddit @MetaNewsroom thefederalist.com/2021/11/17/thi…
The comic isn't even out yet & social media is trying to make it disappear🎩

Conservatives are allowed to create art,

if these platforms believe in the value of artistry & comic books🎨

They should undo these bans immediately 🔓

A little journalism lesson:

The problem in journalism is that unless your screw-up gets big, or your org forces you to face it

U can basically ignore requests to fix it or comment,
It didn't use to be that way, but that's how the news media works these days
But just cuz the industry is in a bit of a moment when it comes to rectifying bad reporting,

Be a good journalist cuz its the right thing to do not cuz U will get in trouble #journalism #news #writing
As a journalist you will inevitably screw up something, make a mistake, it happens

the right thing to do is fix it, acknowledge it & move on

Learn from your mistake & do better next time

hate sent @TheAtlantic way over this article is crazy,

the science just isn't there that cloth masks do all that much & there is nothing that suggests it helps kiddos

Have U tried to get kids to not mess around w/ their faces

makes whatever small potential positive pointless
Big part of the problem w/ kids masking in schools is that the rules are incomplete & change from day to day,

U cant have kids being told they have to wear the mask on Tuesday but not Wednesday

which happened in some states like Virginia & New York abcnews.go.com/Health/wireSto…
Iowa & Michigan have this problem as well

Pennsylvania

As different policy deciders at different levels & branches fight over it, kids can be moved from completely different rules during the school year

unpopular opinion,

I don't think clearing your Twitter timeline is always a bad idea
Honestly, the incentives to clean your timeline once a year or so, are wildly in favor of erasure,

My feeling is to use @threadreaderapp & archiving for important threads, or clear the timeline around the important stuff you want to keep around
Twitter is built on hot takes & @ moment observations,

but these age extremely poorly & doesn't make sense not to clear your timeline now & then

Many are happy to use reasonable statements at the time against U

I wish it wasnt like that, but Ur working against human nature

How 1 brave esports host sacrificed her multi-million dollar network, career & the careers of her associates to complain about imaginary misogyny🔦

OH.....& how she mentioned G4 hosts don't play the games they have to review😬 #gaming #G4TV #gamers
Gaming world spiraled into outrage earlier this month when Indiana @Froskurinn Black, host of Comcasts new gaming network @G4TV lectured viewers on finding her less “bangable” than previous hosts

Lecture so shrill & destructive,
Must be seen to be believed👀
@FDRLST #frosk #rant
Outburst racked up millions of views across social media & gaming outlets covering the story

Old fans of G4, unaware the network had relaunched, were blasted w/ the decadent state of their old favs 😵‍💫

The anxiety-intractable pain feedback mechanism is the worst,

You get anxiety, increases pain, which increases anxiety,

It makes trying to get, well, anything done that much more difficult
I don't tend to get writer's block,
I get ideas for writing fine,

it's more a problem of a pain block

If any of you have ideas on how to more easily overcome that difficulty I'd be happy to hear it #chronicpain #writing #WritingCommunity #writingtips #journalism
There was a certain scientist I respect that said the priority of pain care is to elevate function,

Which I think is good, but more often than not, pain severely impairs my ability to function & I'm not sure how you delineate the two sides of chronic pain

I have this re-occurring nightmare where the harm reductionist & patients rights side gets pushed back into obscurity as the prohibitionist's side takes over again
This comes from I think my subconscious mind clicking into the fact that harm reduction & patient freedom are at the moment associated with a certain political faction

& when this faction becomes incredibly unpopular again it will take harm reduction w/ it
At the moment harm reduction is libertarians, some classic liberals & progressives cheerleading this movement

& if the new-right pro-government movement takes control with say, a new Trump presidency, that this would be very bad for the support of these pro-freedom ideas
