      I recently commented somewhere that the more Elon Musk leans into MAGA the more he looks like a Sith lord and the affliction appears to be hitting Mark Zuckerberg too lately.

      What I love most about the phrase “virtue signaling” is that when people accuse you of it they are themselves virtue signaling.

    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…

    “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’m not “virtue signaling” I’m tired. I’m tired of the ads.

    I’m tired of the algorithm intentionally fueling flame wars.

    I’m tired of INESCAPABLE “meme pages,” run by spam bots, that just recycle the same tired shit over and over and over again.

    I’m tired of the THREE different video systems that are inexplicably not interoperable. Reels, Facebook Live, and video Instagram posts all showing up in my timeline but all are part of separate systems. Meanwhile, if I share a link to a YouTube video, it gets suppressed by the almighty algorithm. Because how dare I show my followers/friends something they’d might like to see if it takes their eyeballs away from Facebook.

    Finally, I’m tired of companies selling people like me down the river to score political points with chuds.

      Right? Wasn’t he super busy with “de-lizarding” and trying to be the cool friendly billionaire? That took a turn quickly lmao.

      “It seems free speech is back on the menu.” - paraphrased, but that’s basically what he said. The Democrats were keeping free speech down!

    “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.
