    Oh yes, another ““accidental”” deployment of a feature that just got accidentally thought up, implemented and deployed.

      Whoops. Accidentally suppressed discussions regarding the accidental suppression of discussions. Those darned silly technical glitches are just so unpredictable.

    I mean… Yeah, it pretty obviously was a mistake from the beginning. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just as bad as the conspiracy theorists who think there’s a deep state controlling us with the 5g in the vaccines. Facebook don’t have any incentive to ban the word Linux, even they use it. It’s not like it’s a subject that would make their customers go away (like NSFW stuff for example). The shit I’ve seen people say “it’s probably Microsoft paying them to censor Linux users” as if 1. Linux is any threat to windows’s market share and 2. Microsoft didn’t intentionally keep Linux alive as a way to avoid antitrust lawsuits. Microsoft is big on Linux too with azure.

      It’s hilarious how people turn everything into conspiracies nowdays, while at the same time dismissing every narrative they don’t like as a conspiracy too. Just today, there’s another thread about Gemini “refusing to discuss Bernie Sanders” while at the same time it gives the exact same answer when asked about Trump.

    If you can’t clearly admit why it happened you are deliberately avoiding being held accountable, because if you can fix it you know the cause!

      Sorry guys. We made a mistake! We only meant to suppress things like human rights, democrats, and minorities. We didn’t mean to discriminate against linux. We don’t give a shit about linux. ~ Meta response team.

    We had a big backslash so we decided to act like it was an error
