I am still on Facebook and post on it a lot because that is where a lot of rural organizing happens.
But every time I login, I have to be exposed to four or five extreme right accounts spreading disinformation before it will let me get back to my regular algorithm.
Every. Time.

I left because the anti Ukrainian propaganda targeting me.
LinkedIn surprised me (I don't know why) by sending right wing suggestions to follow daily - this morning was Vivek, so I followed Obama
I only use it for a group that I started years ago that would be deleted without an admin
FB
Anymore

Think I finally straightened it out, but have to admit I'm paranoid now that it'll happen again.

If it weren't for local groups that there isn't a good substitute platform for (yet!) I'd be out of there.
You really don't need Facebook
Do It
I really want these groups to migrate to non-state run media.
It's why I dropped anything Meta related. My feed slowly just became little more then far right propaganda. Waste of time.

Back when I used it my account was 100% private; the only randos I'd see in my feed were meta-equivalent bluechecks who pathetically paid money to fb to get their whole ass dragged out. I'd always report them for terrorism ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's become a cesspool of hate and bigotry.
I really liked it before, but that seems long gone now.
If you are calling Musk, Zuck or any Oligarch out… how do you then use their services, agree to their terms & allow them to profit off you?
It’s a choice.
We need to choose carefully where we spend our dollars and time.
I’ve found myself happier off those social media sites and spending more time off screen.
The propaganda push is overwhelming.
