He did the same thing on spotify and a little while later all his songs (at least the ones I had in my playlists) were back.

The Almighty dollar always wins doesn't it Neil lol

I did the same earlier this year for exactly this reason. Glad to know I'm in such good company.

How are people still on Facebook, I dropped it the moment my parents made Facebook accounts and that was before all the horrible stuff about the cokpany even came out I think

I still cant understand how people got onto there in the first place. When it came out it was obviously a bad idea.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I only created an account out of social pressure and never understood what others get out of it, I don't even want to look at my own pics why would I care to look at my friends or any other posts they make for they matter and that was back when Facebook wasn't just a content feed and actually showed you your friends updates.

Friendica is the logical successor to facebook.

What's this about AI talking to kids?

Meta had put guidelines in place allowing romantic and sensual conversations with children, such as calling an 8 year olds body a work of art apparently. (I don't know much about it, so don't take my word for it)

Why did it take this long? Facebook and Instagram use signals support of fascism.

Edit: Are you downvoters defending Facebook and Instagram? How it helps enable a fascist regime? Controls the narrative and all that, allows fake news, etc? Nevermind Zucks personal goals.

This is what is so fucked. People will whine and complain that things are getting expensive, that government is not on their side, that billionaires have too much. But it would be too inconvenient to actually quit using their products. Like who can give up facebook and instagram? That would be too hard.

Everyone participating in them is contributing. Zuck just bought 11 homes to make another compound this time in Palo Alto. Make no mistake, you using these services are what paid for that. You are providing money to lobby and change rules. You provide for a platform.
