I wonder if people will finally leave things like xitter and FB. So many people that ARE politically aware are still using those fucking sites, giving all kinds of excuses (but my followers).
And I’m not just talking about corporate stooges working for the “liberal media”.
Right-Wingers were never anti-censorship look at how they handle books in school.
Let’s not forget to blast the assholes responsible for this (the individuals, not the company) as we all leave the crappy platforms so it doesn’t affect us personally.
Yes the correct answer is don’t be on facebook or anything it owns, but also nobody should be doing this, anywhere. Keep the heat on the bastards.
Also, use a good adblocker to prevent Facebook tracking you as a non-user. Ublock and Privacy Badger are useful.
Ugh. And they can do whatever they want. The vast majority of people, even if they care a little, won’t jump ship.
Social media is looking more like a religion these days.
To the surprise of no one, their accusations turned out to be a plan of action.
Deleted my fb account today. Instagram too. Hadn’t really used it other than to talk to my parents. My mom quit too, so I told my dad we can chat over sms and use other video platforms. Been a Facebook user since 2010, a little sad that the site has degraded so much
Justo tried the search, so I guess its working again?
closed my treads and instagram accounts today. unfortunately, I still need a FB. For now.
Was there a story of people automatically following Biden or Obama when they got sworn in?
I don’t remember a red tsunami of tears then.
Zuck…you’ve got orange…all over your face and throat…
The world weeps, however the US is the embodiment of the skinner meme.
The consequences: none
“Under fire”. Wake me up when someone actually does something about it.
I rarely use Instagram but am about to delete my account there. Will be ceasing to use Whatsapp too, and hopefully deleting my account. I’m otherwise off of meta products. Only problem I foresee is that when traveling out side the US, everyone tends to want to use Whatsapp
Signal is the best option. The only downside being that it relies on your cell number. Otherwise it’s the most secure platform/protocol.
What’s the best option if you don’t want to use your phone number?
Signal
Meta under fire …
… and not a single person stopped using it.
I did.
Naw there’s serious momentum for an exit. Most subreddits are banning X links. Anecdotally a lot of people who I would have never expected have reached out to me about Instagram alternatives. We have power here. Let’s not squander it by pretending we don’t.
