like it's ABUNDANTLY CLEAR there's room for creativity on that site if you're a scammer

yeah I've had to teach relatives - don't click through their links and buy anything because it's really a scammer's marketplace
there's also romance and bitcoin scammers, people who pose as content creators and ask them to pay for services - it's insanity

I should also mention, if I wasn't so isolated from them right now, I wouldn't be using it at all. It's a scammer's paradise. I report them if I see them, and Facebook has never taken action.

I'm still on Facebook in a very limited way because it's how I keep my FB-entrenched family and friends updated on important things.
The sane ones are almost invisible - they turn on their security and privacy options to the max settings, then never interact with anyone else outside their circle.

people don't immediately get engagement and they're like why is it broken

I've been beholden to facebook because 1. I come from a smallish town, 2. my community very tight-knit, and 3. they got into fb when it first started, so they're entrenched
It's lonelier for *me*, but I still prefer bsky - and I wonder if that's a thing going on here

Exactly what I was thinking. They should not get a pass for enabling, participating in, and benefitting from the MAGA movement like this. This is a bad narrative in data visualization.

Interesting they're separating Republican and MAGA now. I haven't seen that before personally.

We need to get rid of the mainstream news media. It’s just another corrupt branch of this government that’s bought and paid for.

We need to fix these lines of communication. This is not following the will of the people. This is is the will of an ideological yes-man. Trump is gullible and easily influenced, and if you call him a warrior of god he will try to embody that, if his ego will be stroked.

Every single one of these entities need YOUR attention for sustenance. You have to starve them in between calling them out.
Misinformation is what’s killing us. So go after the source. Bend the hose to stop the flow. Choke their influence.
Yes, this includes much of “left-wing” MSM too.

The uniformity of the attendees is a nice, convincing touch.
