Ten years ago I dumped facebook because of toxic stalkery behavior and I just now deactivated my instagram because too many people people were telling me to commit suicide on threads. What a wonderful contribution to society Meta has been.

Geez. I thought Reddit was bad. I never went anywhere else for the same reason I never took up smoking. I always felt those platforms were evil and repellent. Guess I was right. I do not feel that vibe here.
I know why people turn off replies… that cuts you off from new cool people though. We’re headed for Mordor anyway, maybe it’s a good time to deactivate all socials 😂
FB was a great idea that has gone horribly wrong. It still has purpose, reaching out to many for positivity or personal news, but like any such platform it remains open to & full of those who will use it for the wrong reasons, to harm, to cause ill and to push misinformation that becomes the norm.
Seriously. I had to block 164+ accounts of dudes (mostly bots I’m sure) telling my “Your body my choice” or worse the week of my birthday, early November. I left.
Threads was good but like a toxic bf, it started off great just to trap all the girlies in a toxic game. I hope people leave for good.
I am so encouraged by the number of people ditching anything owned by Meta....the company contributes nothing positive to the world and its time needs to be over.
😱 so sorry that was going on. Thanks for being here. I’m trying to do my small part. It feels kinda challenging to connect with real people here (for me) compared to threads, but, going through your comments and following people has been working pretty well. 🫶🏽
People are such assholes. I'm sorry 🫂 fwiw I think you are amazing and one of the first people I found on Threads that I resonated with. I admire your wit and tenacity.
My FB is gone. Deleting the other two by the 20th. I can't in good conscience stay there.
Welcome a more sane world. Beware of trolls - block without compassion is the rule. Remember, you don't have to follow everyone that follows you. Sometimes you just have to mute some people if you feel blocking is too harsh. Eventually, you'll see that it's just not worth tolerating fools.
Just posted across all metas platforms that I was no longer using it and for people to find me here, gonna lock my profiles down and delete the apps, I already rarely use them, but yeah I'm done using them for personal stuff
Because we aren’t regulating and policing it like the extension of our society that it is. Put a huge group of people together in any room anywhere without safeguards and it will eventually devolve into chaotic anarchy every time
It started out as a way for male Harvard students to publicly judge the appearance of female Harvard students, so it hasn't really drifted that far from its philosophical roots.
I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure such cruelty. No one should face that kind of treatment. It takes strength to protect your peace, and stepping away was a brave and necessary choice. You deserve kindness and respect—always. Just gave you a follow 👍
And you certainly didn't need to be "talking" to bots. Mark Z is getting his ideas from Vladimir Putin, who flooded Facebook with bots to help DJTraitor win in 2016.

i am sorry you keep getting these death threats wtf
People can be horrible.
Threads was good but like a toxic bf, it started off great just to trap all the girlies in a toxic game. I hope people leave for good.
And now we're here.
I'll give it a chance but it's a little too Twitterish.
Facebook
Instagram
Tiktok
Threads
Twitter
All of these turned to shit.
Every social media app has been destroyed by human error or turned into a propaganda machine...
It will happen to Bluesky.
Matter of time ⏳
My FB is gone. Deleting the other two by the 20th. I can't in good conscience stay there.
