FUN WITH FACEBOOK

Facebook has long had a reputation for censoring all non approved content. During the covidhoax (2020-2024) this censorship was particularly bad, and if you wanted to post anything that questioned the deep state narratives, you had to misspell key words, blur parts of images, and run multiple accounts to work around the constant 30 day account suspensions.

But in 2025 (essentially since Trump was selected), FB seems to have reprogrammed their censorship AI, and told it to back off. Most people on FB are now used to the old censorship restrictions, and like sheep avoiding an electric fence, they have no idea the power to the fence is no longer turned on.

We can now post all sorts of stuff that would have caused an account suspension in 2024 - vaccinations, eugenics, trannies, jews, globalist pedos - most of this stuff is no longer a problem on FB. There are still a few things that can trigger the censors, but they are often quite hard to anticipate.

For example any deep reveals on jewish ownership and control of "alternative" gatekeeper shill influencers may be deleted, while discussing butthole sex practise manuals written for children's school sex education classes may be fine. It's hard to pick, but in general you can get away with a lot more stuff now than you could at any time over the previous decade.

Rather than suspending your account, now the bots are more likely to just grey list it so everything you post comes up low in the AI algorithms. By always remembering to click on "Feeds" rather than just looking at a timeline of whatever approved popular shit the FB AI chooses for you, can see a chronological feed and bypass the effects of most of the grey listings anyway.

This uncertainty about censorship lead me to do an "AUGUST EXPERIMENT". Throughout August 2025 I tested what we can get away with on Facebook, and what, if anything, we can't. I had my fingers crossed, hoping that my account wouldn't get suspended, because that would have hindered the experiment. But I have other accounts... And no, I didn't end up getting suspended!

Over the month I did over 180 posts, many chosen to trigger AI or offend normies. Some of them were images that I've previously had account suspensions for posting.
Only three posts were censored, all of which I've later edited and slipped past the AI on the second try. I didn't get any suspensions, and there was no mention of "fact checkers".

About 25 people unfriended me, (mainly American fans of Trump) but that was partly offset by about 10 new friend requests. There is no accounting for taste!

There is now a page on this blog with most of the content collected up in one big festering heap: FACEBOOK UNCENSORED

TRYING OUT WIMKIN

Yesterday I got an email from a free speech social media platform called Wimkin. I had no idea what it was but clearly I had signed up for an account at some point because they had my email. So I logged in and checked it out.

https://wimkin.com/profile-31457

It turns out I had last looked at Wimkin in September 2020, so nearly five years ago. I set up an account, but never posted anything or made any friends. At that point the deep state was just starting the covidhoax, and the posting I was doing about germ theory and the vaccine scam was getting me a lot of account suspensions on Facebook.

So in 2020 I was certainly looking for uncensored social media alternatives, but Wimkin was very new, and there wasn't much content on there. I put it in the check back later basket and promptly forgot all about it.

It was interesting to revisit the platform in 2025. It works pretty well, with a well designed website, and it's probably most similar to Facebook of all the alternative platforms. It is pretty much uncensored, apart from pornography, nudity, and violence, which is fair enough.

But it still seems very small compared to Facebook, with a limited amount of content. Watching the entire feed (rather than just my friends posts, as on FB), if someone rapidly does half a dozen posts in a row, they will all come up at once because new posts are being added that slowly.

On Facebook, just the posts from my own friends (about 1300) and the groups I follow (about 200) provide a vastly larger flow of new content. I would never try to view all the posts on Facebook even if that was possible, because there would be thousands of posts every minute.

And the other issue is that almost all the content on Wimkin is American, with a particular focus on American politics. Not being an American, for me this is a big drawback. My Facebook feed is global, with a about half the content being from New Zealand, so is of much more interest to me. But I gather Facebook was very much American only for the first few years, so this could well change over time if Wimkin takes off.

It also has a lot of ads for controlled news sites like Fox News, and worship of Donald Trump, with seemingly very little understanding of "play both sides".

Something not many people seem to be aware of is that as of 2025 Facebook has backed right off all it's censorship - it's bordering on anything goes at this point. To demonstrate this I've been doing an experiment on one of my alt accounts to show just how much controversial content we can now get away with posting on Facebook.

So I've revisited Wimkin, done half a dozen quick posts and found a dozen new friends. I have an account set up, and if Facebook ever returns to being heavily censored, Wimkin could be my backup plan. But at this point I'll put it on hold again for now.

Thanks to everyone involved with Wimkin for yesterday's entertainment!

UNCENSORED ON FACEBOOK

It's often said that Facebook keep censoring everything - but to tell the truth I hardly ever seem to be censored any more - here are some recent posts on my #2 account - TOM ANDERSON:

The sort of content that FB is censoring is not obscenity (that is mostly fine) or even exposing "vaccines" or the Covidhoax (that is no longer a problem, and the AI now doesn't give a toss if you say viruses don't exist or that all vaccines are death jabs), but just try discussing BLACKC0CK, or LARRY PINK, or anything to do with ISRAHELL or the JUICE, and you are playing with fire.

But I seem to get away with posting about most of the sacred cows these days

TRYING TO BE POPULAR

BACK IN THE OLD DAYS I USED PAWN TAGS

My first Blogger SIFT blog that I set up in 2007 and stopped updating in 2015 is still online here.

Apart from being purple, this blog is very similar to that first SIFT Blogger Blog, except it's missing two of the original features - there is no "HOT RETRO BIKER CHICK" picture (I have no idea where that picture originally came from), and there are also no massive lists of pawn search tagwords.

The big collections of tag words were in the footer. They were popular searches of their time, with lots of misspellings of Britteny Speers (over 600 of them!) and lots of other celebs who were engaged in scandals around 2007, but those tags all look pretty deranged now.

I would have done a post with a copy of the list here, just in case they still work as a hit magnet, but I tried doing that and the post was immediately blocked. It seems Goosle has much more stringent AI censorship now. If you would like to view the original list it can be seen HERE on my WordPress.org blog, and it still remains there uncensored in the footer of my original Blogger blog.

If I can't get away with using pawn tags any more I'll try this tactic instead. Apparently having lots of posts, at least one every day - gets a Blogger blog boosted up higher in some algorithm or other.

I don't understand how this works, so I'm going to try an experiment - I'm going to try posting more frequently, more than once a day, and see what happens. What I expect to happen is for the hits to go up for a while, but then for some libturd gimp or bot to complain, and for the hits to then go down again.

So I'm going to try it and see what happens!

THE HONEYMOON IS OVER

Just two weeks ago I said I was going to stop blogging about blogging. But I never really stopped doing it, and here I go again!

OK, I thought I was being quite cunning setting up a blog on Blogger, Google's own blogging platform, as a work around for the fact that Google were grey listing search results on my www.frot.co.nz blog.

But no sooner had I done a post boasting about having 66,666 hits here on this blog when www.sift.co.nz seems to have been grey listed as well, and this week the hits have dropped from over 500 a day to under 100.

I have seven Blogger blogs, (no, I'm not actually using most of them, but this morning three had been completely locked, and although this one wasn't locked, it wasn't working properly. This evening all seven are working OK again. Are Google just pissing me around?. As long as it's working, I'll keep using this purple Blogger blog, because it's all set up now, and I can't be arsed changing again at the moment

Continuing to post on evil Google's platform could turn out to be a bit of a waste of time, and if they keep "freezing" (censoring) my blogs, I may end up going back to using WordPress again, although for now I'll just leave things as they are.

It seems that every time my hits start climbing I start getting complaints, then I get grey listed and my hits go right down again. Until they next start climbing, and I start getting banned again. This is a bit of a no win situation isn't it? I suspect my hits are never going to grow for long.
