When I read the first 4 words I had a hope…
Fuck zuck. Of course a pathetic man like him would fight feminism as soon as he felt comfortable doing so
Lol. Feminism should be the standard. Everything else is simply sexism.
So would promoting a play about how great capitalism is get filtered out I wonder?
I’m fortunate to be of the age where I’ve grown out of Facebook so never bothered to setup Instagram.
Moving on from WhatsApp is hard though 😡
Use Signal instead.
I forced my family and all my friends onto it many many years ago. Fuck Zuck.
Did you know, if you use uBlock origin, you can add these to your “My Filters” custom filter list:
||facebook.com^ ||instagram.com^And you’ll never accidentally surf to one of those again?
What kind of Feminism?
A Virginia Woolf play
it’s very easy to find out by reading the article you decided to comment on
facebook has become such a sinister platform. i’ve witnessed several members of my family become radicalized by their algorithms pushing conspiratorial rhetoric. the worst part? they refuse to use anything else. there’s just something about facebook that has them convinced it’s reputable.
It creates the illusion of socializing while using the Fox News formula of alternating between titillation and fear. That and youtube idiots and podcast bros have ruined so many people’s lives.
Walk away.
As shitty as Meta is, I really don’t like the reductive nature of this headline. Here is the original Guardian article:
“Meta bans ads for Virginia Woolf play in Spain because they relate to feminism”
This turned into “Meta Now Banning Ads That Promote Feminism”, with a quote from the showrunner to make it sound even more scary. Frankly, either of them can barely be called journalism, because they can’t be bothered to write more than a page on the subject.
They literally said that “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system,” and therefore rejected.
So how the fuck is it reductive?
Look at that. Someone claiming that people are overreacting to this clear censorship of feminism.
What a surprise.
I don’t think the headline is reductive at all, in fact, you could take it a step further and say Facefuck has banned all social activism in advertising.
Thank GOD! The ONLY Ads I want to see on Meta are Child Porn Apps and Political Ads!
-Facebook users apparently!
"Quit shoving your woke agenda down our throats!
And let me get back to deep-throating all the fascist right-wing propaganda you have!!!"
Lol, lmao even. What about all the russian bots spewing political propaganda 24/7, just to name one of the millions of glaring examples?
Obvious to anyone with two braincells to rub together that this is further capiulation to the american fascist pants-shitter in chief. And money. Same thing anyways.
When do we put zuckyberg through the hague?
-
STOP.
-
USING.
-
FACEBOOK.
the problem is people are so addicted to it, at least in my province. They don’t want to hear about any alternative that would require the smallest effort. In the 80’s, Dead Kennedys made an album called “Give me convenience or give me death”. I took me decades to realize how accurate this title was for depicting the world we live in.
Big liZard in my back yard! Heh thanks I haven’t thought of them in a while
- Promote
- Viable
- Alternatives
The problem is that this isn’t like Microsoft Office > LibreOffice/OnlyOffice/whatever. You’re not on Facebook for Facebook, you’re on Facebook for the people there. It’s why I have a lot of issues getting off of YouTube. I’m not on YouTube because their interface is nice, I’m on YouTube because the people I want to watch don’t post shit elsewhere. It’s a cycle, to get users we need stuff, and for stuff we need creators, and for creators we need users. When it comes to online platforms we don’t need an alternative to YouTube, we need an alternative to Markiplier, which is harder to come up with.
If you can get your friends, and family onto Friendica that would help quite a bit. The problem is that using a new server is hard for the end user (I would know, all of my fediverse presence is on servers I host), and telling someone “Use Friendica” is like telling someone to “Use email”. Get a Friendica/Mastodon/Whatever server, and keep it in your back pocket. Give them a link to that server, not to Friendica/Mastodon/Whatever as a whole.
Admittedly I don’t know how hard it is to stop using Facebook because I stopped using Facebook right after they took away the chronological timeline, and stopped using Messenger a few years ago. But spending some time to get a timeline together that you can boost will help any new users you recruit. Crucially, to promote viable alternatives, you need to be part of the viable alternatives, otherwise you’re just someone telling someone to jump into something new with 0 guidance, which is a good way to have them leave.
The viable alternative is nothing.
Because no one gives a shit about you (general you, not specific at BitsAndBites), or about what you say. You use it cause you’re addicted to performing for people you dont even talk to or like, because no one can actually maintain hundreds, if not thousands of connections like you collect on facebook, most of whom don’t even give a shit about you. its just a mutual masturbation session, only instead of jerking each others dicks off, your jerking eachother off with pointless likes.
All social media is, is a means of generating profit from mental illness, and manufacturing mental illness for profit.
You use it cause ~you’re addicted to performing for people you dont even talk to or like~ it’s the only place to get and share updates from your extended family
Facebook to Friendica
Twitter/Threads to Mastodon/Euclavd
Instagram to Pixelfed/Vernissage
Tiktok to Loops
YouTube to PeerTube
Anything else?
Reddit to Lemmy / PieFed / PyLova
Now do whatsapp, the default messaging platform for the majority of the world.
Signal or threema i got both never used WhatsApp ever. There’s also sms, samsung and apple chat which are about as secure as WhatsApp is
Now which of those is available worldwide?
There are parts of the world where you can get online and on Facebook/whatsapp without even having “internet”. If you pay for Internet, you get access to other websites as well.
Not one of those but XMPP (once upon a time called Jabber) is available worldwide.
So is Matrix.
And also Instagram and whatever other Zuck products are in your life. I’m happy they wasted so many billions of dollars setting of virtual Mii meetings lmao…
You don’t have to tell this to me. You have to tell this to my entire extended elderly family.
No, you have to tell them. And then not be on facebook for them to reach you there.
How do I tell them if I’m not on Facebook? That’s where they are.

I haven’t been on Facebook in years. And I plan to keep it that way. Last time I was on there it was filled with AI generated content and advertisements and I couldn’t even see my friends posts. What’s the point then?
Feminism is failed slop.
awesome, censorship on lemmy, and they have the gall to get mad at the censorship on other platforms. 😂
First and second wave are decent.
Third wave is where things went off the rails.
Oh man, your comments history. Are you a parasitic NEET troll, or are you just insufferable?
Oh - are you one of THOSE people?
certainly
I’m not even remotely shocked. Make no mistake, I’m still very mad about it.
