Good god WHY are poeple still using FB???
Most people don’t care about things. They just want the convenience. Eat the marshmallows now. Getting a stomach ache later is some future problem.
where else am i supposed to humblebrag to everyone i know?
LinkedIn
Ah yes, corporate Facebook.
Don’t forget WhatsApp, that seems even harder to quit.
I don’t miss it tbh
They’re stupid. That’s why. They stand on fake moral high grounds shouting down at everyone for supporting oppressive buisnessses, while addicted to their sweet sweet Facebook because [STUPID FUCKING REASON].
Anyone that would leave Facebook already has. The rest are just people that want you to think they give a shit about the people being hurt by it.
they like to fistfight in zucky’s prison
zuck is android that knows BJJ, he would probably try to “study” thier brains about humans.
FB is useful propaganda tool to promote right wing, usually russian backed to the conservatives. that so happens to be the largest blocs of r voters.
My family uses it, and i value access to my family over having to be on the site. The expectation of making everyone switch to something else for my sake is unreasonable. I only use the desktop site and IA mostly because that’s how my family plans birthday parties. I’ve asked them to let me know directly and that hasn’t changed so rather than miss out on my nieces’ birthday parties I suck or up.
I bet your nieces would use something other than FB to invite you to their BD party. Assuming they’re not three, or something.
They are.
I have this discussion with a lot of people from the left, who often say they need to occupy those spaces and not let them be only a cesspool for conservative spiel. However, what they don’t seem to understand no matter how fucking much I tell them, is that you cannot win a game your opponent controls the rules. The only solution to traditional social media is to pressure the government to ban it. Not regulation, bans are the only way.
How do you pressure government if theu controls the rules though?
I am not from the USA, so that’s a problem for y’all to figure it out. However, the answer is usually quite simple: hit them where it hurts. Here where I live the government has not yet been fully controlled by the fascist right, so we still have a chance to use legal and civil devices. But if not, just remember what the french did.
