Combo of terrible moderation rules changes by meta, the release of the pixelfed app on Android and iOS, and coverage of that app by major tech news outlets.
Meta has changed their ToS. Prior, you could not accuse someone of being mentally ill without consequence. Now there is an exception allowing shitty people to accuse someone of being mentally ill if they are gay or trans. It’s seriously fucked up.
Also, Mark Zuckerberg, the ostrich fucker, removed the fact checker from Meta services.
does anyone know why this sudden uptick?

Streisand effect. There’s a news story going around about Meta intentionally deleting links to Pixelfed: https://www.404media.co/meta-is-blocking-links-to-decentralized-instagram-competitor-pixelfed/
I’m sure Zuckerberg’s recent comments are helping as well.
Along with people being unhappy with Meta, and the looming TikTok ban, Pixelfed just now released apps for it.

In this, the worst timeline, I am glad that there is no need to add “allegedly”, as Zuck is clearly an alpha degen.
Meta recently decided to viciously lick Trump’s ass by, among other things, allowing hate speech on their platforms.
Not everyone is impressed.
