        Me too, I tried just a few. On pc #antifascist , #fascist and #democracy didn’t work. On a mobile phone from my colleague #democracy worked though.

      Well fuck.

      presidentbiden (but not president harris)

      barackobama (but not presidentobama)

      votebiden (votekamala, votetrump works tho)

      presidentcarter

      libertarian (for some reason)

      These are some odd censorship choices. In America, libertarian is short for (not really anarcho) anarcho-capitalist and they tend to vote right wing. They’re the tea party essentially and trumps election is a culmination of the tea party’s power. I consider myself a left libertarian / anarcho-communist but we are not that common in America. Unfortunately.

      And why censor Carter? He’s dead. And why biden but not Harris? So odd.

      igcensorship

      This one’s funny. I wonder if they’ll go recursive and add “igcensorshipcensorship” next.
