Ahem. Break up with Meta. Stop making excuses. Just do it. I deleted my 20 year old account a year or so ago after largely not using it. Stop being the product! #deletefacebook #DeleteMeta #deleteinstagram https://mastodon.social/@ricmac/114829346822972007

Enjoy!

Zucky and Co sure were smart to choose the name Meta for their dumb company. Every "meta analysis" has folks wondering if it's the OG definition, or if maybe it's shoddy research conducted by spoiled tech bros. Free advertisement, even if you hate the company. Well played, shortie.

PS: Mark Zucky is short and that really bothers him tell a friend

It is done! … #deletewhatsapp #deletemeta

TBH, I wish MPOW would delete the FB page already instead of the current waffling, but it is not up to me (and that is another story).

BTW, not just Meta; Meta just happens to be the biggest shithole.

I’ll just keep saying it. Delete your meta profiles. Get numbers and emails of any friends who you’re staying for and delete it. The only thing your post history is serving is AI, and spies of both governmental and corporate varieties.

"Meta promised parents it would automatically shield teens from harmful content. Tests by young users and our tech columnist found it fails spectacularly on some important dimensions."

I haven't used Facebook in about 10 years. I initially kept my account alive because I stupidly thought people there might care I was gone and want to contact me. Spoiler alert: they pretty much didn't.

Anyway, I've tried to delete it many, many times, and it's always given me a "temporary error." On a hunch today, I went in and deleted some old apps from the developer area, tried again, and lo and behold, account deleted.

So BYE AGAIN META, YOU SUCK.

I believe today is the day that @meljoann is saying BYE to Meta.

I wish I'd been around a little more in recent days to hype it some more and get others on board but it's never too late!

Happy BYEday, Mel and anyone else who is celebrating!

Finished Careless People last night. It’s a really compelling read, continually surprising and horrifying. The author is certainly complicit by her involvement and naïveté, but at least she gave us this view from the inside. Definitely recommend.

In the event you missed it... John Oliver has instructions (via @eff) on how you can make your Meta accounts less valuable to them.

Obviously the best way is to delete your accounts outright, but I understand not everyone can do that. So at least take away some of the revenue they earn on you, and reclaim a tiny bit of privacy.

LOL at this URL, the gift that keeps on giving.

Last night we caught John Oliver’s brutal takedown of Meta and Zucky. If you haven’t seen it, it’s on YouTube; a great 30-minute watch, with some great zingers, like “lil broccoli.”
