I doubt Facebook even thinks of Mastodon as a competitor.


No doubt - but there was also a big move of Gab and some other more right wing communities to Mastodon I think at one point - be curious to know if the Mastodon links are all showing as high scoring in whatever generic facebook system is being used. Could easily imagine some involve links to stuff facebook isn't interested in pushing.


Gab and Torba are awesome. Crusaders against the tech hegemony


Well they already realised that early and so they built their own social networks and they are still up and running today. This 'censoring' should be unsurprising to everyone here.

I thought what happened to alternative social networks was a warning to show that not only they can do it to anyone but it shows how anti-competitive they really are.

What happened here to this person mentioning Mastodon is no different but was like 1% of what Facebook and many other private platforms can really do.
