    Why would anyone quit adult daycare? Unless they are in the content moderation mines in Africa getting ptsd from seeing the horrors of humanity.

    This is the same guy who has called people ‘dumbasses’ at one point for trusting him.

    Which is it, Asspuckerberg? Is everyone a ‘dumbass’ for having joined you and your shitty platforms in the first place or is everyone ‘virtue signaling’ because they’ve finally grown tired of it? Sounds to me, one of these paths has the high road, so yes, I’ll gladly do it in the name of virtue-signaling. A signaling of how that there’s mountains of your bullshit that can’t be withstood anymore.

    Well then I’m virtue signalling, fuckface. I deleted all the Meta platforms I used, save for my fake white supremacist Facebook account because I use that to tell the employers of Nazis that a Nazi works for them. I am done with my personal accounts though.

    It’s not virtue signalling if you truly mean it.

    Our feeds should be our own.

    I quit Crackbook a decade ago over the algorithm forcing shit at me I had no interest in.

    That’s when I learned what a dark pattern was. I started seeing it pop up nearly everywhere that used algorithms.

    Did the same with Twatter a few years ago. Again, I was over being forced to see shit I had zero interest in. This time I removed my footprint, leaving a handful of posts.

    No one noticed either time I’d left. (No one ever does. That’s a whole other rant about the state of anti social media.)

    Never used Threads. Won’t even click on the ones that are shoved at me through Insta.

    Kept Insta for patterns and recipes, and over time I’ve stopped engaging on the platform. It’s just as bad as the others for the algorithm and ads. Staying is on me, I know. Sunk cost fallacy or whatever. I didn’t want to lose my collection of patterns that exist no where else.

    I started the process of removing what little remains of my presence on IG. Discovered I’m not allowed to remove likes ‘to protect the community’. Deleting my own content bugs out often. Removing saved bookmarks bugs out often. No way to keep the videos I refer to often to make things.

    Damned straight I mean it when I say I will cease using Meta products. I am tired of being told how to use something, or how I should think and what I should believe.

    Zuck can fuck all the way off.

        I would certainly check one out. Federated instances are a good start, being able to curate my own feeds and interests (tags being hijacked is a PITA) but I hold concern of the eventual crap creep.

        I think I am in my Old Person Yells At Internet era.

    What Mark is really saying you will be back. if anyone is still on Facebook after all these years he is probably right. He also knows if anything that does take it out. He will just buy it up and once again those people will be back under meta’s control. He has too much money. The only answer is to stop using identity based social media.

      My mom moved away from meta because of this asshat. It seems now everything is possible. She went from WhatsApp to signal and Facebook to Bluesky.

      That’s the beauty of the fediverse. It cannot be bought anymore than someone can buy “the internet”.

      My queer friends have flooded away from FB after the change in moderation standards. There seems to be a critical mass now. I’m just a tad disappointed they went to Bluesky instead of following me to Mastodon.

        Yeah that’s my point if it gets critical mass that starts to impact Facebook he will just buy it. It’s not the first time Jack Dorsey has sold out to a fascist asshat.
