It’s time for Pixelfed!
Yeah, everyone should stop using Instagram, Facebook, threads, reddit, tik tok. But the FOMO is too strong. It's too bad, if they did it would fix most of their problems in like a week.
Exactly.
Okay, now do religion.
Everyone should stop going to churches, synagogues, mosques, the church of latter day saints, and scientology. But the FOMO and fear of eternal damnation is too strong. It's too bad, if they could just realize that everything is god including themselves, they could live happier more fulfilling lives in like a week.
Instagram is Facebook so no surprise there.
When will we get over the corpo social media
I asked that before it started.
Here we are.
My wife is very progressive and believes in human rights. Her Facebook feed went conservative about a week ago now with constant right wing propaganda.
Big tech has gone full fascist for a bit now
It’s really disturbing seeing social media start leaning this way. It’s very obvious controlled fascist propaganda. Have you seen what Twitter is now? It’s actually creepy and insane.
This is how everything works under capitalism.
Yep. Has been since before I was born. I don’t know if it’s ever been this blatantly obvious before. But I guess it always seems that way when you’re living through it.
Welcome to China.
Facebook is a privately owned company that is responsible for their own actions.
"We use technology or a review team to identify content that should be covered," a notice obscuring the post reads. "This post doesn't go against our Community Standards, but may contain images that some people might find upsetting."
Yeah, I bet.
"What the f**k, Instagram?" a Bluesky user wrote.
k.
So what are you all going to do about it?
Continue to not use Facebook/Instagram.
I switched to Lemmy when Reddit came out in support of people who abuse children. I don't even mean Trump, I just mean in general. I suggested abusers in general should face harsher penalties. They banned me for it. I said "holy shit you just did me a huge favor, apparently I was on the wrong site because our values are 100% incompatible."
I mean, there isn't even a debate. I'm not talking about people who find themselves attracted to kids. I'm talking about people who actually went out and hurt a real child facing longer, more meaningful sentences and they said nah, those people are people and need to be protected.
I've moved social networks on account of incompatible values and I think others will, too. Maybe not the majority but I think some others will. Especially as things get worse. There are networks for people who hate (like Truth Social), and networks for people who don't care (like Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp), but I think as things change, more people will care and will look elsewhere. Not everyone but some people.
I got banned for suggested someone stab a can with a knife to open it (they didn’t have a can opener). They said I was promoting violence. I appealed and a human still banned me for that. What a crock lol
I mean, there isn't even a debate.
Just like anything else an argument could be made for rehabilitation, but yeah banning for this is insane.
Most people will continue and have continued to use the same big name social media, and expecting different from gen x and older is foolish. And these are still massive blocks of politically important people. Never mind the swarths of people in younger generations who will and are falling for the same dumb shit.
So nothing
Those who use Instagram will keep using it and forget all about this within 24 hours.
Why do you ask?
I already don't use Instagram so not really much more I can do but I guess it doesn't impact me because of that
Meta sucks
You mean the app that's run by a fascist and that promotes genocide? I'm shocked. SHOCKER!!! \s
(Seriously use Pixelfed instead, even if only partially for support.)
