Migration or filter: the community switching off
Today at 12:00, a digital community with years of history faces its migration. The announcement, however, has not dispelled suspicions: some believe that behind the technical change lies a sarracena filter that will delete inconvenient messages.

According to the messages, the migration was scheduled for today; another source points to July. And it is warned that «some» messages might disappear. The alternative theory holds that there is no migration at all, but a filter that will remove content against certain groups and anti-feminist or sensual explicit messages.

Amid farewells and apocalyptic prophecies —«the burbujos will take to the streets like zombies»—, the community is split between those who accept the technical change and those who denounce a disguised purge. Time will tell whether the black swan was the migration or the filter.
