"Meta bet that threading the political needle and protecting its brand from controversy would help Threads grow safely, but instead it alienated the very users it needed most. Meta sent a clear message from the start: user input came second."
absolutely correct. Meta ignored us ... so we left.

because I did not want to support the Zuckster.
When it became clear that Blue Sky was taking off, I stopped looking at Twitter and came here.
Don’t trust Zuckerberg with anything. He’s a slimy as Trump.
I replaced Audible with Libro, a much friendlier option.
facebook was pretty awesome at first - connecting with old friends and family, even finding work in my field.
It's toxic. And so dangerous.
Yep!
People who have short memories of 2016 and Cambridge Analytic I guess.

Still on IG - for now - but I scrub it of advertising permissions on the regular and don’t allow location access. Best I can manage at the moment…
I frequently forget they exist.
But with pseudo knowledge, aka lies.
They try to now use fact checking to spread their disinformation.

I got many bans & warnings on the shit I posted of vids from Musk & Trump. Like his salute & their queerphobia, misogyny, ableism, etc.
#Mosseri inflated things by not addressing issues with content moderation and saying it was an “internal issue” rather than an AI issue.
When the users felt the #communities were not being represented, they left!
Reporting them did nothing, Threads saw “nothing wrong”, & countless other women said the same thing. I blocked 168+ accounts.
I’m not surprised, only disappointed in Meta per usual. 🫶🏼
Also, Zuckerberg is a tool. Trying not to give too much support to the billionaires
I saw The Social Network. I knew that Zuck was a morally bankrupt capitalist. He stabbed his partners in the back. I shouldn't be surprised or angry that he turned out to be the exact same snake he told us he was. 🤦🏻♀️
I don’t use Threads much at all.
My Instagram had dropped too. Just about done with FB
Bsky, TT & Substack are my go toos

@goldengateblond.bsky.social . We refer to this play as the Build-A-Maher in my household.Shake their hand & watch them regurgitate “neutral” propaganda.
It's now just a Temu version of twitter.
