A small non-profit animal rescue I work with raises nearly all of their money on those platforms. They, and many other non-profits (especially small orgs), will be seriously up the creek without their social media presence. What do you suggest they do? Email doesn’t have the same reach.
This would hurt thousands of small businesses that rely on fb & insta completely for their online presence!
Is their another way to punish the oligarchs without harming regular folks?
Don't tell people on Bsky to delete their Twitter accounts. Tell them to use them to encourage people on Twitter to come here. That is one thing a Twitter account is still really useful for! If we want to get millions on Twitter to join the exodus, we will need those accounts! https://twitterexodus.org

Quit and deleted Twitter over a year ago. Never got into Facebook. All I have left is Instagram, and as much as I enjoy it (don't use it for politics; just keeping up with family/friends), I could lose it.
The only reason I am on ad book, I mean facebook, is to keep in touch with old friends who I might otherwise never ever have contact with. Then again, if that is the only way I ever have contact with them then it is time to go.
YES YES this is the kind of thing I’ve been saying, the only way we can send a message is by hitting them in their pockets, dump Facebook, X, Tesla and Amazon, you don’t need any of them, life before all of this was perfectly good and arguably better

Maybe I am wrong but it irritates me that people who say they oppose Trumpism continue to use Twitter or complaining about plutocrats continue to shop at Walmart for all their needs. If you use twitter you are supporting Musk. If you are shopping at Walmart you are making the Waltons richer.
Yes, that is true. I should have used a better example. The problem with Walmart is that it is a monopoly. When you stand in those long self-serve lines, you feel how much control the ultra-wealthy Waltons have over you. You are like a pawn on their chessboard.
I’m not going to lie. This will be impossible for me as I follow family on this social media platform also so many friends that are not political at all.
I’ve seen so many people afraid of leaving “those other megasites”. It really shows the hold they have on society.
Me? I’ve always wished for an alternative to them.
The problem with deleting your TwittereX account—if you used your real name or otherwise identified yourself—is that someone else can then create a bogus account under your identity, according what I recently heard on The Bob Cesca Show; so, you may want to keep your account inactive, instead.
No, I am not ready to leave FB yet. I left Threads. But FB is the only way for me to keep in touch with my friends around the world. It’s it gets as bad as Threads and X i will leave but not yet.
Can I add - flood these platforms with posts of appreciation for Biden, Harris, MLK, Carter and anyone else that will irritate the felon but do not mention the inauguration or him at all - no matter what. Then walkout at noon.
Post in BlueSky - flood it with anything but the inauguration.
I think we all need to agree to turn every device we own to watch something other than the Inauguration. How great would it be to have an episode of Law and Order beat the Inauguration in the ratings? It would bother him all the days of his life.
I’m not dumping FB. I already dumped everything else including, Twitter, Threads, and IG. BlueSky is what I will use mostly going forward. I like keeping in touch with old friends and family on FB so I’m not getting rid of it.
The other reason I’m keeping it for now is I’m in several Amputee groups and they are invaluable to me. I get instant information whenever I need it and it’s really helpful to me.
It’s not just that for me. The only place I can find Amputee groups where I can talk to like minded people is on FB. People in these groups have helped me immensely since I lost my foot 5 years ago. I can’t stand Zuckerberg like all of you but I’m keeping it for a while.
One thing I love about BlueSky is finding very specific niches here. I have my oceany groups. My birding groups. I hope you can find an amputee group here to provide support as well
can we also stop celebrating the failed politicians that got us here? even now they're punching aoc and katie porter harder than they ever punched a republican
The evening of Jan 20 honor MLK HOLIDAY and our VETERANS who fought for our rights and freedom of speech. Candles in windows. If able, a lantern outside to peacefully greet neighbors and respect each other’s diversity. We SHALL overcome. Be a candle in the wind

I don't post on facebook but marketplace is better than Craigslist and many local businesses use FB for their website which is irritating because that's the only way you can get info about them. Instagram can go bye bye. Even if I'll miss the accounts I made for my dogs lol. Never had Twitter
Being honest here… will there be a difference in deactivating my FB account instead of deleting it? Would that even make a noticeable difference? I ask bc it’s hard for me to delete my FB bc of family memories.
And this will accomplish what exactly, especially if people don't delete their accounts? It's like refusing to shop at Home Depot for a day. Nobody's even gonna notice, or care.
I don't use Instagram anymore. I don't believe I have a Threads account. I hardly use Facebook. Once in a while, I'll go on X to laugh at the MAGAs for being dumb. But it will be a super easy black out for me. I love Bluesky.
You’d be surprised. There are people hesitant to try something new. I posted a few days ago on FB that I’m leaving cuz I don’t want to be referred to as a “kitchen object” and many people asked “what’s BlueSky” so I mentioned how there are no ads or algorithms and many have jumped over here
Don't just post this here. Tell your friends still attached to those platforms. I need time to move off FB, but I am going dark on the 20th, and then linking only to off-platform content until deleting altogether. I always hated it, only used it for my lazy-ass friends. They're on a deadline now.
Malcolm. Facebook is how I communicate with my family scattered everywhere. I cancelled the others. Sorry no can do. Additionally animal rescue benefits greatly from groups. My cousin was found after posting on Facebook. 1000 shares and found in a day.
Live, vote, post your values. Small one-person actions count. Choose social media that reflect your values. Buy from companies that reflect your values. Be brave and committed to your values.
People just need to stop. I’m at the point where I am going to stop watching and listening anything or anyone that complains about Musk and Zuck and then still uses their platforms. So many commentators are still there. And complaining. Just stop using their products already. Done. Easy.

Will do. Starting to notify everybody on Facebook to find me on Bluesky. I never use Instagram so I will delete it also without having to give anybody a heads up.

I've closed all accounts w Meta (FB & Insta), X and Amazon too. I'm also not going to watch any coverage of the inauguration, including his "thank you" rally on the 19th 🙄
Have already deleted $hitter and IG. Never used Threads. It will be difficult to quit FB since that is how I keep up with family and Blue friends. Most of my family are supporters of the 🍊💩 and it will be impossible to get them to move to BlueSky.
I deactivated FB like 13 years ago, Twitter 8 years ago, rarely ever used Instagram but deactivated it last Summer and I just canceled my Amazon Prime.
Everyone has power to defund the fascists as a consumer in our consumer driven economy. Boycott the mega monopolies, reuse, recycle, repair and buy local when possible.

I dare say they would get much wider traction on BlueSky much faster

My problem with leaving Facebook is that I'm an admin on so many commercial and nonprofit pages.
I rarely use the site though. Any ideas anyone?

Don't put them back on.
We made it a long time without them, let's do it again.
If you’re running late and want to make this statement on the 20th, good for you. I already have and will be on strike that day.
Never give up and Never give in

will be on the departing tide
come the setting Sun
19th of the month
I no longer refer to Musk and Zuck by their names independently. They are “Muck”
Me? I’ve always wished for an alternative to them.
I’m thinking about going back to Flickr (?)
Post in BlueSky - flood it with anything but the inauguration.
Consider this my virtue signal.
Punch these fascist scum directly in their wallets.
Leaving hurts them and cleanses your soul
I’m quitting FB in 1/19
From here on out BlueSky will be my one and only social media account.
I’ve found my pod 🐬
we will NEVER get out of this ditch otherwise
WANT TO END SANE
WASHING?
BOYCOTT CNN
Start at 12:01 am Jan 19th and continue until 11:59 pm Jan 20. Gives people enough time in advance of inauguration to get comfortable

🤘🏼😆
It's seriously overdue, though. I'm down to here and Reddit for socials. My kudos and respect to all who help cut the lifeline from the oligarchy.
Friends Don’t Let Friends post on Shitter
