Remember myspace Tom? Tom was everyone’s friend. But I don’t remember him ever doing anything just for attention or overtly needy, ever playing fast & loose with truth, or really doing anything at all to disturb the world with his social media dominate position. I miss Tom.
Well here is my take.
I deleted X some time ago, saved content from META then promptly deleted Facebook, Instagram, Threads & WhatsApp. Stopped buying from Amazon & Walmart years ago.
Companies listen to profits, your time & wallet are powerful. Spend them wisely.
Great. I'm leaving FB because it's a garbage pit and about to get 1000% worse. I have warned all my contacts. If they choose to not follow me and/or lose touch, they were not really that close to me then. I am not supporting anything that scumbag touches going forward.
As far as ADS I go to Amazon(NO not to buy)to C if it's there & how much it is. SURPRISE 100%of the time it IS on Amazon & for instance a electricity"$$ saving"Musk plug into the wall heater on FB selling for $89.95 is $29.95 on Amazon.DO NOT BUY FROM FB ADS do your research if you want an item.
Without any of us Cuckerberg has no buisness. I started the process of downloading accounts and data before I kill my instant accounts that I havent used in a long time. We should all leave like people left Twitter.
I appreciate his decision, but I also feel that Meta does not pay its content creators fairly. Meta needs to do better by way of artists and respecting copyright.
I don’t really understand why more people don’t get off of Facebook and onto discord. It could serve the same purpose for family groups or community groups.
A high-powered lawyer such as Mark Lemley is, fires a client for 1 reason and 1 reason only—that lawyer knows his client is going to lose Big Time. Kudos to Lemley for speaking out against the toxic masculinity. He must have “woke” women around him he respects.
This week Meta announced a change to Facebook’s Messenger App. Users who want to customize their wallpaper can still do so, but they will no longer have the option to use themes with colors of the transgender and nonbinary flag.
That has been my approach as well. Well.... except for firing Meta as my client. :) I did delete my Threads account and won't purchase anything through Facebook or Insta. I do agree that Bluesky is a great alternative to Threads. I just wish more of the non-political contents was on here.
OMG, my daughter is in the thick of college sports recruiting so I have to be over on the other place for that. I hate it. I'm fine waiting though, it's worth it.
I left the other place right after the election, but I understand. I still have Facebook because my son is in the military and I haven’t found a group elsewhere yet. Good luck to your daughter! How exciting for her and you.

I'd never take them as a client, especially since I'm not a lawyer 😂
State Run Media
If that happens…. Gods help us all!
