    I deleted my Facebook account in 2009. I started an IG account in 2021 that was 100% for comic book stuff. Deleted that one last night.

    Facebook has really taken the mask off, like X, and societies seem to care so little it might be time for them to get the Old Yeller treatment. I remember the old Deus Ex games, and some of the themes are so irrelevant nowadays simply because they have stopped being dystopian fiction.

      LOL what mask? Have you been living under a rock?

      This was 5 years ago, and plenty other regime plants like him in all social media companies.

    We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation

    “You’re a woman, that’s a mental illnessl” is apparently completely OK?

    Zuckerberg is such a coward.

    He bends over backwards for even the slightest change in wind, like VR or a fascist govt. He dropped open-weight llama at the first experimental stumble.

    Mark my words, if a mega liberals got into power, he’d fire this guy and act as woke as can be.

      It’s not cowardice, it’s intentional. He wants a timeline where techno-lords with divine authority oversee their vassal states and nations are a thing of the past. Bending over for a fascist party is the fastest way to get there.

        I honestly think Zuck is more of a coward than the Palantir CEO and that techno feudalism crowd. He’s just so obviously insecure in all his decision making it’s unreal.

          If he was a coward he would never have hired Joel Kaplan.

          Joel Kaplan was a Bush toady who participated in the Brooks Brothers riot.

    Delete your facebook accounts, and anything else related to this company. If your argument is that your family still uses one, then force them to get rid of it too.

    Don’t participate in the fascist echochamber

        I never started using it. It’s the cancer version of messaging.

        I sometimes get weird looks from people when I tell them I refuse to use it.

        Signal is the way to go.

        I quit everything except whatsapp, it’s virtually impossible without actually impacting my life negatively. Been trying and some friends have started using Signal, but most people don’t.

          I guess it’s all about choosing what each of us deems worse. “Do I want a saner life even if it means not having some convenience, or is this change going to mess with my life for little benefit?”.

          7 years ago I told everyone I was leaving WhatsApp and moving to Signal on day X. Some installed signal and we started using that exclusive, some others didn’t, and we stopped chatting, just did phone calls.

          Fast forward to today, most of the people in my life use Signal, some of them exclusively to use it with me, and the rest, I haven’t missed (they call every now and then though).

          It is a scary move, 100%, but well worth it, in my opinion.

            Yeah in my experience I’ve been able to use regular texts, discord or signal instead. People will accept at least one most of the time

      I really wish I could delete my Facebook and Instagram, but my late brother’s account is on both and I really miss him. I try to do my part by not making content for the machine nor interact with the platform and only go on when I really miss my brother
