If you’re still on those platforms, why would less censorship be the hill to die on?
Its less censorship AND an allowance of actual hate speech.
Ehh. While I don’t support Meta’s real name policy, with it being paired with this, I somewhat support allowing these people to put themselves. Let them face the societal consequences of hate speech.
It still has a real impact on the people being harmed. I dont know if bullies getting social consequences for their actions outweighs the pain they have already inflicted.
That said, hopefully better information dissemination will help anyone being targeted to find better places where bullies are defederated/moderated for being shitty humans rather than based on shareholder value and kissing the ring of a dictator.
Unfortunately, I’m keeping mine to make a pipeline from there to actual content on Mastodon or BlueSky. But I basically put a URL in my bio and push a photo once a week.
at least it was. my family had posted photos and tagged me in them. At that point I hadn’t had a FB for almost a decade. this was years ago now, but I doubt they changed it.
I only use it for messenger. And only then because it still has chat bubbles. There are many better messengers. But they don’t have chat bubbles that draw over other apps.
I haven’t posted on FB in years.
Signal has chat bubbles
On Android, all messaging apps have bubbles.
Virtue signaling 😁
Nah, Facebook and Instagram are the worst. Facebook is some ad riddled, AI slop, filled late stage capitalism hellscape. Worth not using just for mental health.
I quit all social media except for Lemmy, and I have to say it’s been great. Especially getting off of Twitter.
Real question is, how can I uninstall Zuckerberg…
That requires an adjuster
a special adjuster that andy has left at the office…
Don’t stop there:
sudo apt purge billionaires
Luigi isn’t a second rate character anymore.
Mario is the black sheep of the family now
Mario needs to step up
&& sudo apt autoremove
Where’s the article on how to profit off of racist idiots on Facebook?
Make a red bubble store and sell political slogan T shirts. You can easily make a couple hundred a month just doing that. “This is Trump Country” shirts have been doing insanely well since November.
Gizmodo’s post on this has the most honest title: A Lot of People Are Searching for How to Delete Facebook and Instagram, and We Would Like Their Clicks
LOL! They’re not even pretending to be a news outlet anymore.
Woosh
Do they have Facebook trackers embedded in their page? I’ll bet they do.
Remember to hit the gym and lawyer up next.
No, you hit the LAWYER and gym up.
This is a reference I haven’t seen in YEARS.
Damn that takes me back.
I had to look it up myself, but it appears to be divorce advice (hit the gym, lawyer up, delete facebook)
I think this started on reddit in like 2010 or something. Solid joke in this context.
I don’t think that most of the lemmy crowd needs this info to beginn with…
But we may have friends and family members asking about it
And surely we would be happy to help if asked.
Unfortunately it has been demonstrated through whitehat research that simply deleting your old account is relatively useless. They have shadow profiles of users based on probabilistic data. For example, say your spouse with her decades old account keeps making posts about what you ate on date night, your trip to Cabo, or worse yet she posts a bunch of pictures of her, you, and the kids. Facebook makes a shell profile based on this conception of “you” and begins aggregating all the info it can about this person.
More over, every time an acquaintance of yours gives their FB app permissions to access their contacts (to suggest Friends or whatever) if your contact info is on the list, FB now has your real name, your email, your mobile phone number, etc. You never opted in, but it doesnt matter - other people are opting you into FB data collection all the time, unless you literally don’t tell anyone your real phone number or email address.
Thanks, I Hate It
How to “delete” them? Words really have no meaning anymore.
It’s short for deleting your account, data, etc… People ommit those words for a long time now, like “Do you have Lemmy?” or “What is your Mastodon?”
Is the process different from it was in 2015?
Now you must sacrifice your first born.
Deleted everything Meta related in 2022. I have no regrets. Zuck can Suck it
Has he contacted you yet to schedule a time to suck it?
Oh hey, good reminder. The one upside to the fact that my FB account continually revived itself while I was using my Quest 2 is that now I can delete my account (for the last time, I hope) as part of a widespread protest instead of a one-off annoyance.
