The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

“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.

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

Eat turds Zuck

His AI is picking from random internet phrases to see if it unlocks a reward function.

[–] kbal@fedia.io 22 points 3 days ago

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

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago
[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

As opposed to signalling that you have none.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

Yes, we are. You are still losing users.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 3 days ago

Even if they are, they still have fucking virtues, unlike your robotic ass, Zuck.

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

[–] LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 3 days ago

ROFL I’m signaling the virtue of my privacy kept safe by escaping Meta and not being on a platform hosted by a deranged billionaire. 🤣

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (4 children)

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.

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My mom moved away from meta because of this asshat. It seems now everything is possible. She went from WhatsApp to signal and Facebook to Bluesky.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Good for her I'm glad one person got away

That's the beauty of the fediverse. It cannot be bought anymore than someone can buy "the internet".

I'm not sure if this headline meets the criteria for not the onion.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 11 points 3 days ago

He whines, signalling his "virtues"

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

My virtues are signaling over here
