I deleted all meta when he ended fact checking and a noticeable presence of suspicious right leaning content moderation, bending the knee to trump, inauguration donation, etc.
No thanks. Loving bluesky.
I spend most of my screen time on Bluesky. Left Threads and my FB privacy settings are buttoned up tight. I'm only there for friends and family but I sense many people have backed off. Follow YOU on substack too.
I am deleting Facebook as soon as I have recovered my photos. Figured out the process. It will be sad to lose the easy connection with acquaintances but I will find other methods for maintaining relationships with friends and family.
It's a good read. I hope ..well, maybe I can't any longer hope that this is as much conspiracy as they are spewing. If it looks like a duck, it's probably a duck?
I struggled with leaving Facebook bec I thought I would miss all the friendly info but when I took off all the ads there was literally only about 10 people that were some kinda friends or but few family members. it wasn’t enuf to keep me there! All I miss is to have something to do when I’m bored
I deleted my account and the app Wed evening. Also Amazon. I can't and won't support fascism. I wish I didn't feel like keeping abreast of current events here wasn't like watching a train wreck, but I can't bury my head in the sand either.
With me has become personal last July...
Cancelled personal and professional accounts due to their crap automated censorship and non reviewed denounce system...
From that on, after losing 17 years of memories and thousands of contacts it has lost it's propose...! Has become a shit even for business
I left Facebook last week. I've been methodically deleting posts, before I delete my account. They've made it very hard and tedious to delete posts. Bugged on top of that. I removed all content from Instagram, Threads, quit those accounts, and un-installed, including WhatsApp. Not rage quitting.
At this time, I belong to a couple of FaceBook groups for support for specifically how to get through these dark times and how to fight what we can fight…
Participated in a full week black out. Deactivated all Meta, uninstalled them from all devices.
Little over a week later I try to get back in just FB & can't because it doesn't send the texts it's says it's sending. So just laughed & uninstalled again!
Andy,
Thank You posting about fuckerberg's NAZISM(my words).
I dumped the apps on my phone a week ago. Am not on meta at all.
Yrs back, fuckerberg censored my posts.
I went to Twitter.
But fuckerberg also stole my photos and made it so I can't access them at all to remove.
Stranger In a Strange Land will scare the heck out of you. Glimpse of Mysogenistic dystopia. Their view of life is shaped by games and science fiction.
Facebook Founder & Convicted Pedophile Mark Zuckerberg, dead at 36, says Social Media Should Not Fact-Check Posts
Zuckerberg died of coronavirus & complications from syphilis at his home near Facebook headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska, says it is not Facebook's role to be the arbiter of truth.
The day Zuckerberg declared he had no problem with referring to certain people as “It”, and women as property, I let everyone who was following me know that I was done and why. Since then, I’ve heard from three friends on FB that they’ve done the same thing. Keep spreading the word.
Just a few days ago I joined BlueSky for many of the reasons you listed. Nixing the DEI and fact-checking policy were huge for me, along with the buddying up to Trump with financial funding. I still have a Facebook account but will be leaving as soon as I figure out how to best delete my account.
I stopped using it for my photography after receiving a warning that I need to disclose when I use AI to create an image. They’re my own photographs. 😡 We’re not all phony fakers, Zuck.
I quite Facebook a week ago. I really didn’t want to leave my friends. But it’s the best decision I made. I have their phone numbers and emails and…hitting Zuck in the wallet is at least action.
I packed up and left fb, threads, and everything else meta somewhere between 11 pm 11/5/24 and 1 am 11/6/24. Deleted Amazon app/account, haven’t watched the news…it’s been heavenly.
If family and friends and colleagues were nearby and not spread around the world… That said I am waiting for an alternative to migrate. In the meantime my feed is ok because I do not use it for news or public posts. I block when necessary.
I had deactivated my Facebook account about three years ago. In these three years it turned out that the friendships meant to be can easily survive without FB. Closed my account yesterday, 20 years after I signed up for it while in university. No regrets.

Hopefully it will be permanent.
Twitter/X is long in my rear view mirror.
Thankfully, more good people like Andy are migrating to Blue Sky.
