Jokes on him, I quit before it was Meta.
Suck my French-canadian balls Mark. Actually nevermind, just get fucked .
He’ll zuck em
I believe in “free speech” but if you leave my platforms you’re virtue signalling.
Or it could be your social media sites are full of death of the internet AI garbage and bullshit.
I wish I could quit Whatsapp but my fucking country (Brazil) depends on it for everything
Well then I’m virtue signalling, fuckface. I deleted all the Meta platforms I used, save for my fake white supremacist Facebook account because I use that to tell the employers of Nazis that a Nazi works for them. I am done with my personal accounts though.
Man, Zuck the cuck Fuckerberg is really virtue signalling saying something like that damn
It’s not virtue signalling if you truly mean it.
Our feeds should be our own.
I quit Crackbook a decade ago over the algorithm forcing shit at me I had no interest in.
That’s when I learned what a dark pattern was. I started seeing it pop up nearly everywhere that used algorithms.
Did the same with Twatter a few years ago. Again, I was over being forced to see shit I had zero interest in. This time I removed my footprint, leaving a handful of posts.
No one noticed either time I’d left. (No one ever does. That’s a whole other rant about the state of anti social media.)
Never used Threads. Won’t even click on the ones that are shoved at me through Insta.
Kept Insta for patterns and recipes, and over time I’ve stopped engaging on the platform. It’s just as bad as the others for the algorithm and ads. Staying is on me, I know. Sunk cost fallacy or whatever. I didn’t want to lose my collection of patterns that exist no where else.
I started the process of removing what little remains of my presence on IG. Discovered I’m not allowed to remove likes ‘to protect the community’. Deleting my own content bugs out often. Removing saved bookmarks bugs out often. No way to keep the videos I refer to often to make things.
Damned straight I mean it when I say I will cease using Meta products. I am tired of being told how to use something, or how I should think and what I should believe.
Zuck can fuck all the way off.
What about a self driven network, would you be interested in that?
I would certainly check one out. Federated instances are a good start, being able to curate my own feeds and interests (tags being hijacked is a PITA) but I hold concern of the eventual crap creep.
I think I am in my Old Person Yells At Internet era.
I’m working on a decentralised (FOSS) sharing protocol and implementation. Some information here
Like have your protected free web page and share it, or make a chat program on top of it (demo exists for both).
I just ironed out some last showstoppers before Christmas, and I’ll soon try to get it out for testing, will post on [email protected] for the curious!
Anyone who quits Meta says Mark Zuckerberg is a colossal dick.
so he admits it’s virtuous… just that he thinks some people are doing it disingenuously…?
“Everyone is a psychopath like me therefore anything virtuous is disingenuous.”
I kind of think a certain amount of money makes you… Inhuman for a lack of a better word. Not only not playing the same game as the rest of us, but so far removed that they don’t remember the rules.
Like we’re all a part of something together, but when you get to a certain point of wealth (or more likely in order to get to a certain point of wealth) the rest of humanity are just things that give you wealth and not beings such as yourself.
Are Rich People OK?
You know, some people actually try to be good people.
Fuckerberg.
I quit facebook during the obama administration lol
If quitting your site can be taken as virtue signaling against misinformation and bigotry, your site may have some systemic issues.
I’m not “virtue signaling” I’m tired. I’m tired of the ads.
I’m tired of the algorithm intentionally fueling flame wars.
I’m tired of INESCAPABLE “meme pages,” run by spam bots, that just recycle the same tired shit over and over and over again.
I’m tired of the THREE different video systems that are inexplicably not interoperable. Reels, Facebook Live, and video Instagram posts all showing up in my timeline but all are part of separate systems. Meanwhile, if I share a link to a YouTube video, it gets suppressed by the almighty algorithm. Because how dare I show my followers/friends something they’d might like to see if it takes their eyeballs away from Facebook.
Finally, I’m tired of companies selling people like me down the river to score political points with chuds.
I literally cannot stop getting “support our troops” or other “MAGA” style shit right now. Also random Zionist pages. I’ve never “liked” any of them, I’ve hit “hide posts like this” a million times, nothing fixes it. And if you actually tried to contradict people on those posts, I mean, the ones that get sent to you have 10,000 comments, you’re just shouting into the void.
The phrase “virtue signalling” is itself a form of virtue signalling 😏
My app is failing to load this media :(
It’s a scene from The Simpsons with Lisa telling Linguo, “‘Sentence fragment’ is also a sentence fragment.”
Looks like he is starting to follow Elon down into the rabbit hole off asshattery.
He’s been an asshat at least as far back as when he was enrolled at Harvard. Facebook was originally called Facemash, a “hot or not” clone for guys at Harvard to rate the attractiveness of their female classmates (without consent).
Starting to? He’s been on that road at least as long as musk of not before.
Yeah, Zuckerberg is a leading alt-right figure since, like, what is it, January 15th now, so I think that was January 11th.
