Because Facebook’s reach is global and it makes few (if any) distinctions about what appropriate content is based on the geographic location of the user, I don’t think it’s even possible for them to settle on a single editorial voice that won’t be out of step with some significant portion of their user base, regardless of where it lands on the socio-political ideology axis. And taking some kind of blind “bad language is bad” approach just leads to further entrenchment of “nice” nazis and white supremacists who call for genocide without using the word “fuck”, while the rest of the world gets banned for telling said people to shove their heads up their own asses.
Breaking the internet back into smaller communities that have the ability to connect with each other on their own terms (that is, managed federation) seems like the only functional way forward. With domain names selling for a few bucks a year and managed hosting solutions for protocols like Mastodon available for just a few bucks a month, I don’t think it’s ever been easier to go do your own thing. Carrying on with these corporate-owned mega-networks is just a recipe for further disaster.
