"vote with your wallet and you can affect a corporation!"

Also:

"Fuck you, I'm entitled to your participation (your data) or you're a virtue signaler leftist baby."

I wish I wasn't an atheist, at least I'd have some comfort in knowing pieces of shit get what they deserve. Instead they just become billionaires and live amazing lives.

I don't know, sounds like he's just virtue signaling to me.

It's weird to realize I would wait in line for like 45 minutes up piss on Zuckerberg's grave, should the legal opportunity ever arise.

Just a thought for his next of kin to consider, in due time...

What Mark is really saying you will be back. if anyone is still on Facebook after all these years he is probably right. He also knows if anything that does take it out. He will just buy it up and once again those people will be back under meta's control. He has too much money. The only answer is to stop using identity based social media.

“Meta has us in a chokehold. They make money off our presence in order to continue to be in business and yet it’s too difficult for people to leave,” Makichen wrote.

Difficult? How? I'm pretty sure I still have an account on Facebook from it's early days, but I haven't logged in to it in more than a decade. Friends and family can reach me in other ways, like email or better yet a phone call.

They are talking about their business. The massage place I go to is primarily thru Facebook. They have their own site but it was easier to just request a appointment.

Many businesses have dead websites now, as all the visibility is just through Facebook and Google Maps.

It’s very different than Twitter, where most business use (outside of influencers and influence campaigns) amounts to status updates that can be given elsewhere.

Why would anyone quit adult daycare? Unless they are in the content moderation mines in Africa getting ptsd from seeing the horrors of humanity.

Sorry Zuck, but "virtue" is not the message all those people making hand gestures at you are trying to signal.

Mark Zuckerberg is a dork.

I quit Facebook and Instagram years ago, long before it was called Meta. Fuck that goon.

I wonder what he would say about me never having used Facebook. or any of his other "services"?

watson387 says Mark Zuckerberg can 'go fuck himself'.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 13 hours ago

He said that some users might leave as a form of virtue signaling, not that all who leave will be virtue signaling.

Have there been cases of community notes being ineffective or wrong? I assume that community notes probably have some kind of system that can be abused, but I haven't seen it happen.
