How is this gonna work in the EU or other places it's illegal?

mxwoermsin.gothgeek.org•44 days ago

At a guess we’re still covered by the old ToS so our posts would still be infringing and liable to being taken down, but US etc based users are free to abuse us.

woomy4.bsky.social•44 days ago

Who cares what's illegal in their eyes, it'll be shrugged off because money

keysmashing.bsky.social•44 days ago

The way these things usually work: they'll issue a fine that Meta will reject, slowly stall in the courts, and then never paid in full. Facebook will be able to continue operating as normal the whole time.

miqorems.bsky.social•43 days ago

for fucks sake, what DOES violate their policies now?

kodakazar.bsky.social•43 days ago

If it is like Twitter, probably calling a cisgender person cis or a white person cracker.

kktnc.bsky.social•39 days ago

these phrases are literally equally bad as one another, i genuinely do not understand what line they think theyre drawing here

good thing that i left facebook and instagram years before the change

taralynirl.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’ve already decided to delete over there. I’m just waiting til the weekend so I make sure I catch all the followers I can in the meantime who are also moving here, or to other places like Mastodon.

skronk.bsky.social•44 days ago

You can still moderate those spaces in private groups at least. We should never be relying on tech bros to cultivate our communities for us. They could never be trusted

shampoochan13.bsky.social•44 days ago

So adult cis white men are protected people on meta.

tmmtx.bsky.social•43 days ago

Always have been in every social media space.

mambosauce.bsky.social•43 days ago

It's also specifically that I don't believe these rules apply to people based on religion, etc., so a Christian can call me mentally ill, but I can't do the same to them, who believe that an invisible man in the sky told them trans people are evil (this is also not in the bible).

fracturedsky.bsky.social•44 days ago

Those in favor of the killstick treatment raise you hands

fireballdragon.bsky.social•43 days ago

Don't need to tell me twice.

davemaru.bsky.social•43 days ago

Dangit Messenger is like the only way I communicate with some folks, I never even check Facebook anymore… augh.

milkiesouris.bsky.social•43 days ago

Facebook has already become an endless cycle of toxicity and outrage engagement, and that's without the company giving its users the green light to abuse and cyber bully other users.

sovi1337.bsky.social•43 days ago

they're so cooked

mapugavalera.bsky.social•44 days ago

I'm quite scared about how they would talk about us autistic individuals.

matticusrexxor.bsky.social•44 days ago

It’s not great.

mapugavalera.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’m afraid the #neurodiversity movement is near a total collapse.

matticusrexxor.bsky.social•44 days ago

Among others. Just absolutely bleak all around.

ryuu-van-draco.bsky.social•43 days ago

Which would be quite the irony because Zuck is one himself...

classytart.bsky.social•44 days ago

And WhatsApp. Everyone forgets it's another Meta product

arinissa.bsky.social•44 days ago

Meta has gone full Maga, it is now officially not a safe space, it is just billionaire propaganda. Thank goodness for Bluesky. Meanwhile they pile up the resources while the world burns.

vrika.bsky.social•43 days ago

You'll get slapped for calling a republican a Nazi.

So fucking stupid. On Facebook I, as a man, said men are pigs and got hit with a 72hr post ban lol. But sure we can call OTHER human beings inhuman no problem?

tracykakes.bsky.social•43 days ago

totally agree though I keep thinking...wait, they are just allowing those statements now? I feel like I've been reading pretty much the exact same sentiments on FB for at least the last year if not longer. Clearly if they had higher standards before, no one was enforcing them.

xcalee.bsky.social•43 days ago

not to mention, I've seen a lot of people skirting around their flagged comments by screenshotting the statement and posting it as an image (at least for facebook, since at least Insta doesn't allow anything other than gifs in comments. I refused to join threads)🙄

radiodeadair.com•44 days ago

This is way past shrugging and saying "Eh, what can you do."

Zuckerberg has gone full Musk. There's nothing left now.

Even if you want to ignore it and stay, that's not going to be feasible when you can't stop this stuff from being in your nice, clean parts of Facebook.

You'll see.

radiodeadair.com•44 days ago

Remember when Facebook baldfaced lied to the publishing industry about video ads and utterly destroyed hundreds of publications?

Remember how they suffered no consequences?

They're going to do the same to you this time. Whatever you've built there is about to be wrecked.

samuraiko.bsky.social•44 days ago

Does deleting one delete all three? Or do you have to do them each individually?

innerlmnt.bsky.social•44 days ago

Deleting your Instagram deletes it and any attached Threads account. Deleting Facebook gets rid of only Facebook.

nawf4.bsky.social•44 days ago

No because I never joined Facebook beyond signing on when it was something employers checked to see existed.

n0s0ul.bsky.social•44 days ago

I want to murder everyone behind "pivot to video"
I've done analytics data governance. That whole thing is the most professionally insulting thing I've ever seen.
And the fact that it devastated news agencies... we don't yet even have a map to get out of the damage that did.

32mbit.bsky.social•43 days ago

even musk didn't put out a specific list of shit people are allowed to say specifically. YOU KNOW he knew it'd get leaked immediately

matticusrexxor.bsky.social•44 days ago

This is just confirmation of what’s been happening for a long time and making it official. Hell, the Sinfest guy posts literal blood libel and it’s allowed to stay.

I’d have dropped it years ago if I didn’t have to have one for my work.

pupluca.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yeah, trans groups already get raided with laugh reacts and open death threats. Now, it's just publicly protected. Nothing has changed except the curtain is gone.

madmaudlin.bsky.social•43 days ago

Vice signaling

rexaura888.bsky.social•43 days ago

Before I shutter up on Insta, what’s the policy on deleted account usernames? Because if it’s like Twitter where the deactivated/deleted account name becomes usable again after enough time has passed, I’m better off going private than risk having someone falsely take my name & besmirch it with slurs

eis-kold.bsky.social•43 days ago

It is, in fact, like Twitter (unfortunately)

Also, I swear that every time fack-e-book enters the news cycle, I'm more and more confident in past me's decision to never make an account there.

vaporbelby.bsky.social•43 days ago

I stopped using Facebook back in 2013, 2014. Only signed on once more back in 2020 when I had to get a message to my ma when I was homeless in Birmingham as a last resort. Never looked back on leaving it since. Meta is and never was worth it.

meowbingus.bsky.social•43 days ago

Okay wait is that second row of stuff things that are unacceptable cuz they sound about as bad as the stuff above in a lot of cases??

alexbrior.bsky.social•43 days ago

It's all allowed

terminalsanity.bsky.social•44 days ago

I was never there, I never trusted those platforms... granted I don't have to publicly network for a living... yet.

wydua.bsky.social•43 days ago

Hello update now you can say "krill you shell" to a person. Just letting you know, we're not endorsing anything just letting you know for real.

madmaudlin.bsky.social•43 days ago

Protect trans people. This is insane.

snowbluehusky.bsky.social•43 days ago

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! The fucking chief marketing officer IS GAY and says "Actually, seeing your LGBTQ+ friends being harassed is GOOD for LGBTQ+ rights!"

BOOGIE2988 LOGIC

snowbluehusky.bsky.social•43 days ago

I vote in favour of disowning Alex Schultz from the LGBTQ+ community for being a backstabbing, traitorous cunt!

Alex Schultz should be persona non-grata in the LGBTQ+ community.

How fucking dare he.

joef-3.bsky.social•43 days ago

It is important to remember that the human mind is not inherently rational, it is inherently rationalizing.

shayesaintjohn.bsky.social•43 days ago

i was like “surely they put it more delicately than that” and then i read it ……. i’m actually in disbelief what 😭😭

kellswitch.bsky.social•44 days ago

I am waiting to hear from one friend that I only have access to there, and then by Saturday I'm deleting my account. 10 years of my art experience will be gone. I have the pieces and photos, but seeing my grown in chronological order was always inspiring. I hate people like him so very much.

wydua.bsky.social•43 days ago

You can save the page on wayback machine

And yea

fancyfairyangela.bsky.social•41 days ago

I don't think you can anymore actually. I went there the other day to save a url and there was no more option for it. I'm afraid Wayback Machine could possibly go under after losing that lawsuit.
I tried to save this page there and look, no option at all now to save it in their archive

markiwi.bsky.social•43 days ago

thats really fucked up omg

sharkbaitcreations.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yea, Metas owner is erirly close to being musk. He's been budying up to trump a lot. I hate this whole thing. I know I'll never get the following here I had before.

freilowe.bsky.social•43 days ago

Someone had a lot of fun writing these examples, you can tell 😭

eclectictastessa.bsky.social•44 days ago

You don't need to get off a platform you were never on to begin with.

tehsamantha.bsky.social•44 days ago

They’re taking back any kind of support the platforms might’ve shown too. No matter how small and vague it had been

haurchehaunt.bsky.social•43 days ago

the sheer contrast in the comments section of posts about this between here and twitter really goes to show just how far gone thar platform is too 😬

wesfox134.bsky.social•44 days ago

Thank god I deleted my Facebook account years and years ago.

kagayaki-hime.bsky.social•42 days ago

Just watch. Black content creators are next on the chopping block. And it’s going to be acceptable to be racist/colorist before MLKjr day or Black History Month.

kagayaki-hime.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’m considering leaving Threads, even though I have 600 followers. I’m reluctant to because I’m trying to get art commissions, and promote my own webcomic, but only a few of those 600 seem interested, and I have no requests. At all.

kagayaki-hime.bsky.social•42 days ago

The problem is, it’s really expensive to make and maintain a new social media platform. Cara is a great app for artists, but it’s purely community-funded and it’s in the red right now. And I think Mastodon is really confusing. And don’t do Amino. Just don’t. There’s always LiveJournal! 🤣

brian-the-fuzzy.bsky.social•44 days ago

I want to say jail words and do jail things.

sweetsoundp0n3.bsky.social•44 days ago

Will be deleting my Facebook pronto. This is insanity.

gayplushie.bsky.social•43 days ago

dont worry bud ive been off it for 12 years and i ain't about to come back now. jesus these are some cruel "rules" though. hatred is gaining speed and intensity, there should be no place for it in a free country.

dcharlie.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yup. I'm gone the second this and the "flood everywhere with AI" bs dropped.

The constant Trump, Musk, Tate on an infinite loop OK my feed was annoying. This though is a full on attack and he and anyone supporting it can go fuck themselves.

Zuch is an F**c-nt

audes-wisent.bsky.social•44 days ago

Not really surprised to see the company go full on fascist openly now. Good thing I never used the shit.

matticusrexxor.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’d have dropped it years ago if “maintaining the organization’s FB page” wasn’t literally part of my job description.

worstinshow.bsky.social•44 days ago

I hope all the people who were all "Guess I'm going to Threads" over the Jesse Singal thing feel real fuckin' stupid right now.

apophis426.bsky.social•43 days ago

Meta has always been this kind if not this degree of bad, i don't think those folks are capable of feeling stupid about anything

someautisticdev.bsky.social•43 days ago

Yet Zuck does fuck all about the monkey torture shit on facebook.
