Facebook was cancer, Meta is metastatic cancer.

Ooh, I finally understand their name change.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

It was right there in front of us all along!

[-] cupcakezealot 143 points 1 year ago

and this is why anti-meta fedipact was necessary

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 93 points 1 year ago

Booooooooooo

That's all. I'm too drunk for a nuanced thought. So just booooooooooo.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 83 points 1 year ago

I mean I see the sensibility after reading the article, especially when applied to every other politician and the like. But... Trump is hate... Its all he spews everywhere....

[-] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

hate and lies. trump summed up.

[-] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This doesn't really matter anyways, he started his own social network, he doesn't really want to participate in the social networks he can't control

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 72 points 1 year ago

i don't know if that changes anything. Facebook is already 30% his voters and 70% bots

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Just like Google, the fixation is far more on engagement farming than content quality management.

Trump stuff gets the clicks, so you're going to see a lot more of it. Also, expect to see an increasing wave of ☯👺 𝐏ᑌSşƳ ιᑎ вι𝕠 🐤🐧 tier posts.

Don't forget about the soldiers with huge boots over their prosthetic legs. It's their birthday, all 10,000 of them. So sad. Did you see the young man who made an impressive sculpture of a dog? Or how about the other 7 million of them? Dog sculpting is really taking off I hear.

[-] tehfishman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Is this the latest wave of nonsense? I haven't been on FB in a while

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Idk about latest. I deleted my FB account a while ago, but every time I see anything from there it's bizarre AI generated crap.

never forget. never forgive

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Please reply to my post with any random emoji if you had tangible relief and improved relationships when trump was kicked off Twitter.

I noticed an immediate and drastic difference in my work environment, for example. I could elaborate but would ramble

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I agree that tech companies should stay out of politics. I still hate Facebook and Meta in general...

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

This is because Trump was attacking Zuck, he can't keep getting away with this shit. I hate this fucking reality

[-] oakey66@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Luckily very few people use Facebook.

[-] Untitled4774@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately that’s a very subjective and naive point of view

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

What the fucking fuck? Yeah only the most vulnerable billions use it. Not a big deal.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The zuck suck. It's like a blowjob with all the pleasure but none of the release.

[-] Psycoder@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They would be stupid not to. At this point it's almost guaranteed he will win the presidency. Nobody would like to make an enemy of POTUS.

[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You get the downvotes, but in a way you're right. With scotus ruling the next president could do whatever they want as an official act and there would be little to no recourse. Sure they could sue but that would almost definitely get tied up in courts for a long time. Mr. Robot is just covering his own ass. That ruling by scotus will be the downfall of the wrong people are able to take advantage of it.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

"Just covering his ass" this attitude is why our country is fucked. Well as long as it benefits the millionaire personally to be a coward and sell us out, then that's okay

These millionaires want all the power but refuse accountability. Why give him an out?

[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I never once said it was ok. You know I should personally ring him up and tell him that his choices aren't so chill.

[-] Psycoder@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just explained the reasoning behind Facebook’s actions. Now everyone is calling me a fascist. I’m a progressive FFS. You guys are out of your minds.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Then why don't you edit your post to make your meaning clearer? Because if everyone is misunderstanding, then it's probably not all our fault.

[-] Miyabi@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hell yea! I can't wait to see all the downvotes and backlash for this comment lol.

[-] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
