I don’t even think this is a joke. That’s what Facebook is like. The people spreading actual bigoted animosity are fine as long as they don’t use specific words. It’s pathetic. I got banned for calling blatant homophobes pieces of shit, pretty sure the homophobes got off scot free
I have reported so many horrible assholes and I’m guessing only 20% of the time has anything been done about them. It’s pathetic. Insult somebody though, it’s the worst crime imaginable, even if they’re hinting that Hitler was right or whatever…
Right, yeah fat white cops now have endured hundreds of years of oppression! /s
I’m implying that people who are actual victims of hatred and fear for their lives are treated as equal to power tripping assholes who beat the shit out of those aforementioned victims. Because that is the type of thing I’ve seen it play out on social media over and over. Apparently you are in favor of that disgusting intentionally context-blind application of rules that empowers racists and punishes victims. Maybe lemmy isn’t for you.

I reported a dude posting an image that said “shoot your local heroin dealer”
They didn’t do shit. I requested review. They still didn’t do shit.
Guarantee if I posted one that said “lynch your local kkk member” I’d get banned

Though there’s truth in your comment, it’s also troubling that you imply that the meme in the image isn’t actual bigotry.
It makes fun of a subset of people based on their race using a demeaning picture.
If someone posted one with a gorilla in a hat and said “this is what all black cops look like” would you still be here trying to defend it?
