My post was on the front page of Hacker News this morning before getting flagged for some reason. Comments are good there though, I appreciate that and it’s nice seeing it spread around after all the work that went into it.
"Biden", "Democrat", "VoteBlue", "MichelleObama", "JohnOliver" (?!), and 25 more hashtags that Instagram censored on Trump's inauguration day. Spoiler alert: "Republican" wasn't one of them.
Y’all, Instagram is currently censoring hashtags like “VoteBlue”, “Obama”, and any tags associated with Democrats... but they aren’t censoring tags like “Trump” or “Republican”. That’s fucking wild!
The People’s March is happening today and the neighborhood is packed with visiting crowds. A beautiful day for a march. #PeoplesMarch #SanFrancisco #MissionDistrict
I’ve been on the hunt for an easy way to carry my iPod around. I found this grave grenade pouch at the army surplus. It works, but looks a little silly. image

Meta is relocating their Trust and Safety teams to Texas. Considering the state’s restrictive laws on reproductive rights & gender-affirming care, this seems like an easy way to remove women & trans folks from the moderation team. Zuck says the move is to remove "concern about the bias of our teams." However, TX ranks second in the U.S. for censored books (behind Florida) and attempted to ban drag shows in 2023. IF perceptions of bias are an issue, why pick a state with such heavy censorship?

Yet, SF politicians seem more focused on property crime and other exaggerated threats than addressing the growing danger pedestrians face every time they cross the street.
