You can make a good case for breaking up Facebook. Twitter is just twitter and is slowly eating itself. Eventually, the advertisers will see just how much of the userbase are bots and either pull or negotiate for lower rates.

But how does that help capitalists make more money by eliminating their competition?

I found out recently that lots of people here use and defend Meta because of things like the Quest and Facebook. Lots of Lemmy people use Meta and won't admit it. They will quickly ignore anti Meta comments to focus on other social media companies even though Meta is by far the most egregious.

As far as I'm concerned META ruined the Oculus. As soon as they bought them out, I bought a Vive (which has worked great for years).
