The Facebook Community Bot has put me in jail for 29 days for posting a photo of Eve Babitz and Marcel Duchamp playing chess. The Facebook Community Algorithm has also pushed me lower down the feed for posting a meme claiming that corporate profits have gone through the roof during the pandemic. Basically, Facebook is hostile to harmful people like me and Hitler, especially me.
This is sort of a relief, because while I have the classiest bunch of Facebook friends ever and I love you all dearly, Facebook is a deadly timesuck and I will now have time to do more meaningful things.
NOTE: Recently Counterpunch published my piece on Adam Kotsko’s Neoliberalism’s Demons, a book which deserves much more attention than it’s gotten so far.
LH: My old comments remain up, but I can’t make new ones. And I can still message.
Ah, good to know. I’m pretty ignorant about FB (obviously).
Hey, I thought you were banned, but I’m still seeing you on FB! Fake news!!
Leaving a comment on a blog, after Languagehat no less, makes me feel 20 years younger…
You should have known that chess is a Bad Thing.
