I deleted my FB account in 2016 and never regretted it. My question is, can even enough people quit FB, Amazon, Twitter to make an impact? It feels like they’ve already amassed so much wealth that nothing will make a difference.
I kept an account bc a lot of businesses near me only have FB-not websites. Don’t care anymore. I’ll just miss out on some businesses. I will not give one second of my time to a horrid company that is responsible for so much hate and destructive lies.
Women should move away from META platforms. META is not going to be a safe space for women. I left META platforms a few years ago and I don't miss it at all.
JFC. So slurs are still a no-no unless it's against women or trans people. Cool. I don't know if the country will ever recover from the coming disaster of a second Trump administration.
Newsflash: obscenely rich people are awful EVERYWHERE.
Thats part of the reason some smart people who saw the consequences of that already a century ago, warned against a system that intentionally creates that class of people.
I just started deleting FB sites I follow. More to delete coming. Just like getting out of Twitter. Once something gets touched by trmp it turns to shit. Will soon be out of FB completely. Hope a Bluesky version comes along.
Why people are still on Facebook is totally beyond me. Being on FB is like being admitted to a perverse reverse asylum, which is designed to make you mad instead of curing you. Get out! Get out before they fuck with your brain!
@cnn.com, you helped this happen, you bent the knee and normalized his behavior, you continue to platform people who continue carrying water for MAGA. This is on you, and we won't forget it
Hey thanks for the note. I was just implying that the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome is in effect with CNN. They have lied and mislead so much previously about the election that they can no longer be trusted. Just make sure to check for accuracy with a couple of independant reports.
Women used to be objects,before they could enjoy sex with birth control. This gave them freedom to NOT marry, to have a career and credit to buy a house or car without a man. Some men hate it that women now can reject them. Don't have to have a loveless marriage or take abuse. FREE to make choices.
Men could literally buy a wife from her father who would pay the man to take her, I'm talking about Britain. Everything she owned would then be his property including herself.
Yeah mark is on his knees getting inline like the rest of the Johnson suckers bow down to the one they serve.. the orange shitstain! No reset they have made their beds…
To anyone that has a FB account. What more do you need to delete it? Meta had also ended any fact checking. Don’t bitch about the Oligarchs IF you continue to give them power. #DeleteFacebook
FB called Issac Bashevis Singer, the 1978 Nobel prize winner in literature....dangerous. Don't think the corporate media reaslly has a clue how bad FB already was WITH their 'fact checkers'....oppressive/suppressive/manipulative/controlling and over run with trolls
Their 'professional fact checking' was a joke already tho. 1 example...every single time I posted an Orwell quote they took it to be that quote often mis-attributed to Orwell...and put a warning label on it 'It is not true that Orwell said'....' but that wasn't even the quote I was posting.
The chattel upset? Hey Zuck stop lying your company claims you can’t verify my identity I gave you a copy of my drivers license and you can verify me by asking my FB friends who are also family members of mine or I met in Grade 1 or high school. I want a new password have had a FB account since 2010
Remember when The Social Network depicted the first incarnation of what would become Facebook as a misogynistic platform he built to spite a girl who rejected him?
On the footseps of x, meta seems to get corrupted to end itself! Actually they gave signs of this with EXTREMELY STUPID RULES they invented on Instagram mandatorily preventing DMs limiting to only one to be approved by receiver and preventing profile screenshot of even your gf in WHATSAPP!!
We haven't been able to talk about the peen owners with realistic language for years either for that matter. Some spaces on fb women have taken to mispelling 'men' or putting m*n as if it's a swear so they won't get banned for saying some man has treated them bad.
Yes. FB gives me a 24-hour suspension for telling an anti-vax idiot that he is an idiot for believing the Bill Gates put a microchip in the vax. Yet I have been called far worse names - reported them and see nothing done about those peen owners. Broligarchs are scared little boys with immense power.
OK, but if I speak on any aspect of my experience as a trans woman or clap back against any cishet male bigot zuckypoo puts me in the corner or suspends my account. at this point, our only recourse is really to use their own language against them.
This! He literally made it to mock the women that wouldn't sleep with him and brag about the ones who did. Which is so gross. Zuck is a twat, always was.
I keep saying that - it was only a matter of time. He’s basically only ever been capable of stalking, so what did people expect and why is he still allowed to run such a widespread service…? It’s baffling.
I got thrown off facebook for calling Zuckerburg a "Money grubbing Jew Prick!" Some said it was racist, I beg to differ. He's a Jew, and he's a prick!! I was only stating facts!!!
Zuck being Jewish has nothing to do with any of the rest. When you throw religion/ethnicity in with a pile of insults, then it seems like you're being a bigot, even if that wasn't your intent. What was your purpose in doing that?
Long story short. He banned me saying my post incited sexual activity. Yet, a corporate meme, bought and paid for, that also incited sexual activity, was fine and allowed. So yeah, I was pissed. Suddenly today, he's selling some B.S about freedom of speech and censorship!! I hope Facebook tanks!!
I've never had a Facebook account, but the Instagram just went bye-bye. I'm going to try my damnedest to get my family members and my employer to ditch their Meta-related and Twitter [I refuse to call it "(insert stupid name here)"] accounts too.
I was gonna say, my friend runs a feminist page that gets "time outs" regularly for even the slightest criticism of men. Bet money that will keep right on happening.
I'm still skeptical of that, mainly because I just did a search on Facebook for the phrase and I've come across a lot of accounts of that have it in their posts or in captions of their reels.
I have received a warning for simply saying “you had me at “men”. I don’t know why you are skeptical of people’s actual experiences especially when it comes to rampant misogyny and double standards. Which I’m pretty sure we’re all aware of… right.
“If you can anticipate these things. If you can recognize them as they’re happening, as they’re incipient, then sometimes you can put a stop to them. … “

Ironically, those want to censor free speech claim free speech to further minority views against an open discussion. You cannot have it both ways. This is pure hypocrisy.
There are a lot of words I dislike. I get so much hate from men. And? I show them their place but I would never censor them. I prefer to know who is against me. If I am so affected, I should not leave the house. It's getting ridiculous.
Welcome to reality: If words hurt you, log off. Not the government's job to protect your feelings or police thought. Don't like what people say on Meta? Leave. Freedom matters more than your hurt feelings. I simply don't care.
Its worse than that... that would make it pure selfish opportunism.
But they are collaborating. They dream about a world where they can control everything and everyone... that isnt just dystopian sci fi, its sick twisted logic. From their pov it just makes sense to want that and strive for it.
No they THINK it won't affect them. Look at handmaids tale when the wife started to read from the Bible, then proceeded to get her finger chopped off for reading. She thought she'd be fine bc her husband was the head
Except they will be affected, but people with cult mentality don't see the warnings until it's too late. I mean, women join literal cults were they themselves or their own daughters are sexually abused. Many of them don't get out. Being affected doesn't always make you change your mind.
I think the LLM here was doing classification of the horrible things 45 said against their rules, that's what I would do. Then they adapt the rules so more of Trumpspeech can qualify.
@wikisteff.bsky.social Sounds like they’re bending the rules to accommodate certain narratives. It’s troubling when policies shift to fit controversial speech instead of holding it accountable. We need clearer standards that prioritize safety over popularity.
😳 😳 😳 Just when my elderly Mom was starting to feel like someone equal to a man with the hope that her grandchildren would never have to feel like property
trump didn't rent to black people, was held liable for sexual abuse, has lied about basically everything in existence, and was convicted on several counts of fraud.
I don't think pointing out the actions of a bad person is equal to treating women as objects, but I guess magats disagree.

I stand corrected there's actually 3.7 billion Facebook users. Largest platform worldwide. Most aren't on there for politics or current events like Twitter Bluesky etc. Most are grandmothers keeping track of their kids, grandkids and extended family, they pay no attention to politics.
Not quite as bad, Facebook users can't just post on anyone's posts. You have to friend/friend request to expose what you post and you can control who if anyone can post on your timeline (account page). Only posting on public (NBC News etc) posts exposes you to others but disinfo will florish
so I can refer to men as draft horses, only good for doing heavy work under strict supervision by women carrying whips - end of the day put them in a stall with a bag of oats strapped to their faces. when they get old, its off to the glue factory. Sure, we'll keep a few stallions, the rest we geld
All of these rich assholes stand to get immeasurably richer under Trump, which was the net result of Elon Musk buying Twitter and poisoning the information environment. Stockholders will absolutely approve of a lurch to the far right because more than anything, it's a money making scam.

I am not a refrigerator.
I am not a fork.
And for damn sure not a rug to be trod upon.
Not even a fine piece of art.
No one owns me.
So yeah, I’ve got issues with that policy change.
If you don't like what's someone said, ignore it or block them.
We don't need constant policing of everything people could possibly be offended by.
Thats part of the reason some smart people who saw the consequences of that already a century ago, warned against a system that intentionally creates that class of people.
i’m considering closing my Facebook, Instagram and Threads accounts. Bluesky it is.

As long as they get richer.

media channels.
Reading the changes, it seems like maybe someone used an LLM on Yrump's rally speech corpus, and made edits to conform to the President's speech.

#CNN is no different that meta/facebook. Distributors of propaganda and omitter’s of truth. 🤔

Cool. 😅
Facebook is misogyny based
Like an addictive drug they know their hook is there's no better platform for families and old schoolmates to stay connected.
If you haven't already left Musk's far right xwitter Nazi propaganda, do it now.
"Aunt Marsha, can you please get your ottoman off of my, er, ottoman?"
"Uncle Joey, I'm gonna loveseat you into next week if you don't shut the hell up!"
While simultaneously making sure they get the balls as well as the shaft of glorious leader…
