Seriously. I tried to delete my Threads account after logging in. It asked to confirm my password after hitting delete. Then naturally, it does not recognize the password that I just used to log in as the correct password. Those m’er f’ers.
I'm worried about the hate that will fester on there towards my trans daughters. I'm disabled and all my disability support groups are there not to mention my only source of income through my craft page. And my few remaining irl friends. Fuck meta.
Yeah deleted my threads and am gonna delete facebook as well (though very annoyed that’ll affect my Quest 3), gotta figure out what im doing with instagram since i have a lot of photos organized neatly there that i dont have elsewhere
What I've decided to do is cause i don't have any other online platform, and I also want a place for normal people in my life to follow me (and not see me horny post constantly), is I made a new account, gave it the @emmamb.com handle, and I'm gonna do the thing where you post in the past via atpro
Roll back protections for LGBTQIA+ people among other things, like remove fact checking. Also used the term "transgenderism" within their TOS, so it's safe to say how they overall feel about trans people at this point.
It isn't really rolling back protections though, but adding an explicit allowance for discussions about lgbtqia+ people to not be restricted because they bring up mental illness in that context. It's not a blanket allowance to insult people.
Honestly, this story makes me question the whole "trans programmer" stereotype because there's no way transphobic techbros are just going around hiring trans women at a higher proportional rate than other groups. It doesn't add up IMO.
This article is a helpful guide to getting off FB, if you haven't yet. Note that when you retrieve your posts, you need to save them before you delete your FB account.https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics/social-media/how-to-quit-facebook-a7830117290/?msockid=0f0a29ce4448673a01793cf4458f66ec
I'm not deleting my FB account, I have too many things there.
But I'll use it sparingly. And handle the fake news and right wingers with ease. And I'll criticize wyte people there in other ways. Calling them "Leucistic people"
not-so-fun fact: I got scouted by Meta and offered a well-paying position a few days ago. I really wanted to accept because it would pay for my upcoming MA. Had to decline due to this as I can’t rationalize paying for my education with gay and trans people’s dignity and lives.
And yes, I know the company sucked already. But I was able to rationalize it as a short term fix that would allow me to do what I really wanted. Oh well. Gotta face the facts now.
