Facebook was cancer, Meta is metastatic cancer.

Ooh, I finally understand their name change.

It was right there in front of us all along!

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....

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

hate and lies. trump summed up.

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

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months 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.

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

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

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No shock there, Musky just straight up announced his support for Trump after the assassination attempt last night.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

This is the Zuckerberg company. Easy to mistake, I know.
