    I quit facebook about 5 months ago, when I finally snapped at just how vapid people were. The keyboard warrior energy was too much to bear. and that was on top of the political news spam.

    news is actually banned from facebook in our country because of the rampant disinformation associated with it. so spammers got around it by disguising news as really shamless product advertisements, stuff like

    “NDP LEADER JAGMEET SINGH KILLED IN FATAL CAR ACCIDENT, ON LIVE TELEVISION” - and it’s an advertisement for some Chatgpt generated lifestyle blog. Advertisement posted by an unverified account in Hungary or some shit

    Well, he’s right, if they’re quitting over him removing the fact checkers. He’s also virtue signaling that he’s actually for free speech by removing them, just as he was virtue signalling that he was a good boi by hiring them in the first place. Zuckerberg is going to signal to whoever is currently in power that he’s going to do whatever they tell him to, no matter who it is, because it’s in the best interest of his position at fb.

    I think getting rid of fact checkers is a good thing, but I don’t think for a second that he wouldn’t immediately get them back if the next admin told him to.

    Reknown Dog Rapist and Facebook Founder Mark Fuckerberg goes hard right after relationship issue, sucks up to other small dick energy losers like Musk and Turmp to validate himself.

    He’s right, we are virtue signaling. Pretty hard, actually. We are signaling that Facebook has no virtues, we are fkin done with its exploitative ways, and we are leaving due to our own virtues.

      Eh, I’m not virtue signaling, I’m value signaling, but I guess that could be seen as a virtue. I left Meta around a decade ago, because it already didn’t fit my values back then.

    Criticizing something as virtue signaling is weird. The implication is that failing to quit signals a lack of virtue.

    Just so you all know the New York Post is a Rupert Murdoch (same person who owns Fox News) rag. According to Wikipedia it wasn’t profitable from 1976 to 2022 perhaps even loosing up to $70 million a year. The reason why he ran it at a loss for so long is for influence. Prior to Murdoch’s acquisition the “Post was seen to have liberal tilt, supporting trade unions and social welfare”. Now it’s a conservative trash rag.

    Please use another source if you can.

    People in the US care far too much about some possible badmouthing. Did Mark Zuckerberg call me a virtue signaller? I dont care. Zuckerberg is creepy as hell. Did some zionist genocider call me an anti-semite? yeah I dont care about their opinion on that either. Did some republican say democrats are weak on some issue? Who cares. All they do is lie and talk stupid all day long.

    We all need to stop caring about what people we dont respect think or say about us.

    I quit a long time ago without even meaning to.

    There was just less and less content to keep me interested while more ads and “recommendations” kept taking their place. At some point I was just forcing myself to open the app each day and just stopped.

    If an app, website, or game won’t respect my time, why should I give it any?

      Im so thankful I have been off of it for over 10 years. I had a username that was not my real name and they blocked my account and asked for a photo of my drivers license….

      So glad that happened, I don’t even miss it.
