That's hard to do for me as there's an account called Spooked_memes_v5 that's REALLY funny

An ally just for the vibes, specifically.

Whatsapp was already very ingrained in alot of peoples communication way before Meta bought it.

I cannot for the life of me get Signal to work on my phone. It just crashes and locks everything up. So frustrating

Everyone was complaining about how politicians weren't doing enough to stop fascism, now when they have a chance to do something it's nothing but excuses 🙄

Just deleted Threads & Insta. Fuck Zuck.

Yeah, we live in harsh times. It’s only going to get more so.

To make it clear, I have zero activity on the platform in the last decade. But my mom loves to post her pictures there. It took her years to get comfortable with fb. As much as she cares for LGBT+ crowds, she's not going to ditch fb for bluesky or anything that is not a 1:1 copy of fb.

Looking forward to another round of "I Just Cant Quit The Shitty Chicken Sandwich, Please Understand" except about insta

I’ve started moving my stuff to MeWe as a Facebook replacement.

I was going to be talking with my parents in the next few days about getting them off there, but before I could even reach out, my dad e-mailed me asking about setting up an account/feeds on bluesky. He's looking to get alternative contacts sorted out with friends/family and drop facebook entirely.

I’d post the steps but the character limit won’t let me lol

Thank you!!

This. Look I get it we all wanna leave, I deleted my own original account back in 2017. However, I do have a small account I don't use to post but it's 100% necessary as a parent. My kid's school groups, district updates, it's ALL there, often in private groups.

I don't really care about Facebook or Insta, but in many parts of the world (not including the US, I guess), dropping WhatsApp is practically impossible. It's like forgoing, say, email. Would be *real* nice to see a non-Meta based alternative become a real option, though.

Yeah, I wish very much that complete f*ckwads didn't own nearly every social media platform and roll over for bigotry and fascism. Can has BSkyBook plz?

Been about a decade fb/meta free, for me. The hardest part is losing contact with that wider circle of people who are not in your daily orbit. But do I really need to know which HS classmates have gone full MAGA? For anyone else, my cell # hasn't changed in decades. They know where to find me.
