I've never used facebook, instagram or any meta adjacent site and neither does my family. I have no intention of ever doing so. People that visit my house can't access it if they're using my wifi (it's blocked by my firewall). Zuckerberg is, and has always been evil incarnate and a thief.

I have hundreds of people (classmates, former colleagues, acquaintances, shared interest groups) on facebook that I would have no other way to stay in touch with if I deleted my account. I make every effort not to be monetized by meta and to avoid the cesspools, but that's enough for me.

I’m starting to see a pattern of who refuses to be inconvenienced under posts like this... I too have excuses to stay and left anyway. That’s kinda the whole point. if we can’t even get off social media how can we ever stop this fascist uprising.

tartanskull.bsky.social•25 minutes ago

Apologise that your presence there makes them vulnerable to be identified as dissenters and ripe to be micro-targeted with propoganda (a la Cambridge Analytica).

Support everyone to move to safer community places.

The more of us who leave, the less Meta makes $, the less control they have.

I'm a Digital Director for a large media company. I deleted my Insta & Threads but cannot delete FB as it's connected to the many pages I manage. I'm required to use it as part of my livelihood. America allowed Meta to become woven into its fabric. For business purposes, it has become essential.

Only because you are choosing money over morals and ethics.

azguyxguy.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Then stop acting like you don't have a choice. My industry is deeply tied to META. I told the companies and clientsI work with if you want to work with me then you will figure out a way of working with me without META. They all did without issue.

barrydawson.bsky.social•3 hours ago

So, I should go to the President of the company I work for on Monday and tell her I'm refusing to do my job... and be fired??? WTF are you talking about? It's not MY company. It's a large publicly traded company. I don't make the decisions. Stock holders do.

Have you removed it from your personal phone? You can use it on laptop for work while also removing it from your personal life. That's the goal. No more personal life on Meta. Stop feeding the machine.

barrydawson.bsky.social•3 hours ago

You don't know me. You don't know the job that I do. You don't know where I do it. And you don't know HOW I do it. But, sure i'll answer to you. I STOPPED using it for personal the day they joined the cult. I cannot remove it from my phone because I need to access accounts from my phone.

A lot of boomers were programming in codes you have never heard of and without icons to tap, we created the icons. We stay on FB to remain connected to friends and family across the country and abroad and don't want to lose the years of memories. Also, you can upload longer videos and edit posts.

Bluesky is missing features like events and pages as well as privacy settings that only allow some people to see content. I'd love to see an alternative to FB that has all these critical features because as a Vegan it's the only place I can access information about Vegan meetups.

No, complete isolation is not deadly. Honestly, when you break free of it, it is freeing. You will be amazed at the change in you own personality and will discover you have time for - life. Trust me because I did it.

tidepooltraipse.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Importantly, we must factor in and include that many house and bed bound people rely on these platforms to have a social life. Many people have built up networks and social circles on these apps and don't have the energy to start over somewhere else.

You’re over thinking.

Can you explain more about why you feel I'm over thinking? I don't think that including disabled people in the conversation is necessarily overthinking if that's what you're getting at?

dwayne0314.bsky.social•1 hour ago

I am off both FB and X and have never looked back.

I agree 100%. Believe it or not, you don’t need them. At all.

Make a phone call, send a text, mail a letter, or even stop by and say hello. There are alternatives.

Listen, I get the sentiment. But the people who need to hear it the most are on Facebook.

I’m literally only keeping my FB alive just to post the horrible shit Trump has done in hopes that SOMEONE who follows me can change their mind. X is a lost cause though. I don’t even bother

orphanannie1958.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Canadians are doing everything in their power to eliminate American influence in their lives. Canada represented the largest group of tourists, no more. $20 billion annually. They are putting their money where their mouths are. Canada doesn’t need the US. Canadians are mad as hell and showing it.

My husband is a vet and keeps his fb to actively troll Maga folks. They hate it, he brings facts, Maga calls him stupid, but he does get people on the thread that interact with him in a positive way. And he brings facts, so they are available for anyone who isn't too far down the rabbit hole yet
