What I don't get is Nick saying he is proud of what he has achieved at Facebook. It remains trashy and still contains scammers!

mrriddle0.bsky.social•52 days ago

Nick Clegg the politician?

paulagoodale.bsky.social•52 days ago

Ex of Sheffield Hallam. It will be a long time before we have a LibDem MP again.

👉🏼 Do not obey in advance.

I guess CEOs should read more books...

zero-gravitas.bsky.social•52 days ago

Boycott Meta. Not for this (who gives a rat's arse about Clegg), but because Facebook is a dystopian, bot/AI-infested shithole, and Zuck is a cunt.

herrmckenzie.bsky.social•52 days ago

The wacos are taking over!

bunnylove403.bsky.social•51 days ago

I blocked and reported that account. Their whole page is dedicated to harassing people with different political views and transphobia.

run4cover.bsky.social•52 days ago

Zuckerberg is a total worm dick. I haven't used FB in a long time because it sucks as bad as X. Boycott the fuck out of those sites.

chrismo76.bsky.social•52 days ago

I hardly ever use Facebook as it’s an awful user experience, total mess and feels very dated, also full of crap. WhatsApp is the biggie for me. I’ll try texting/messaging more from now on.

👏👏👏👏👏

2015 all over again for NC...

malrog.bsky.social•52 days ago

Hanging around with the older boys doesn’t seem to do him any good.

jjbillyd.bsky.social•52 days ago

"expected to step back into [centre-left] UK politics"?
I don't doubt there's a space for him, but I do wonder what it is.

🤮

Nothing to see here move along. He will safeguard his empire.

ka7ma.bsky.social•52 days ago

there’s just not enough nazi echo chambers out there

sjsedmonds.bsky.social•52 days ago

Delicious!

areader55.bsky.social•52 days ago

Zuckerberg's only ideology is $$$.

radicalheaux.bsky.social•52 days ago

Nick Clegg was no friend to the people. He helped Zionist censor pro Palestinian voices while downplaying Conservative censorship.

Fuck him!

ballfire4321.bsky.social•52 days ago

Maybe he will advise the government on handling megalomaniac billionaires who post on X every 30secs

alan160755.bsky.social•52 days ago

Clegg could take over being Middle East Envoy from Blair? A non existent job for no longer relevant, failed & disgraced former politicians?
Or he could go and live in Dubai & sit in a bath whilst admiring the reflection of his chinless image in his gold plated taps.

philt602.bsky.social•52 days ago

Trump wins an obscene popularity contest & Zukerberg prostrates himself!!

joespizza2go.bsky.social•52 days ago

These are political positions so it makes operational and philosophical sense that big changes in Washington flows through to your team.

dirtequity.bsky.social•52 days ago

Let's just be honest.

Facebook was always an authoritarian instrument over the past decade regardless of recent happenings.

It's precisely why Mark let the platform become inundated with extremist AI meme generators & religious pro-fascist blurb bots.

nelgonde.bsky.social•52 days ago

Clegg can probably retire now. Be interesting to see where he goes now...

disqualified.bsky.social•52 days ago

He could afford to before… I’ve seen more recent estimates of up to $80 mil, the sources don’t seem that reliable and vary by more than $50 mil though.

His kids won't be worried about tuition fees.

Happy New Year favourite dog lady ❤️

cheshiredoglady.bsky.social•52 days ago

You too, lovely x

molynj.bsky.social•52 days ago

Exactly. I would be very surprised if he hasn't made so much money that he need never work again.

craigwalmsley.bsky.social•52 days ago

But yet I suspect he’ll be infecting public life with his unwanted pontifications for years to come

drawmycare.bsky.social•52 days ago

Oooof

woaxster.bsky.social•52 days ago

😆

adventurer27.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yeah and fuck meta.

stu31.bsky.social•52 days ago

And he thought he had a job for life. Strange how a Trump Presidency brings out the worst in these tech billionaires

a-californian.bsky.social•52 days ago

Could have been Liz Truss?

simplyrob76.bsky.social•52 days ago

Disturbing. I'm glad I've left Meta behind!

mysteryhour.bsky.social•52 days ago

Clegg sacked again?

edmalroy.bsky.social•52 days ago

Finding it difficult to care tbh.

The liberals opened the door to the alt-right.

Sleep with dogs...

stevecrowther.bsky.social•52 days ago

It's Sir Nick to you (and me) and I already assumed he was a Republican.

cwashington.bsky.social•52 days ago

He looks like Zoidberg in disguise.

robtayloradf.bsky.social•52 days ago

Good reason to leave that platform too!

mtkilpatrick.bsky.social•52 days ago

One of a minority of sensible comments focusing more on Zuckerberg's decision (was it to suck up to an incoming president?) rather than shitty ad hominen attacks on Clegg.

disqualified.bsky.social•52 days ago

Billionaires doing what billionaires do, hedging bets and killing people in the process.
