Facebook was cancer, Meta is metastatic cancer.

Ooh, I finally understand their name change.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago

It was right there in front of us all along!

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 142 points 8 months ago

and this is why anti-meta fedipact was necessary

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 96 points 8 months ago

Booooooooooo

That's all. I'm too drunk for a nuanced thought. So just booooooooooo.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 72 points 8 months ago (11 children)

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.

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

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

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

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

[–] Psycoder@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (3 children)

They would be stupid not to. At this point it's almost guaranteed he will win the presidency. Nobody would like to make an enemy of POTUS.

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You get the downvotes, but in a way you're right. With scotus ruling the next president could do whatever they want as an official act and there would be little to no recourse. Sure they could sue but that would almost definitely get tied up in courts for a long time. Mr. Robot is just covering his own ass. That ruling by scotus will be the downfall of the wrong people are able to take advantage of it.

"Just covering his ass" this attitude is why our country is fucked. Well as long as it benefits the millionaire personally to be a coward and sell us out, then that's okay

These millionaires want all the power but refuse accountability. Why give him an out?

Luckily very few people use Facebook.

[–] Untitled4774@sh.itjust.works 23 points 8 months ago

Unfortunately that’s a very subjective and naive point of view

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What the fucking fuck? Yeah only the most vulnerable billions use it. Not a big deal.
