To be more clear, if you’re still using Meta products after this, I reserve the right as a queer person to call you a asshole.

New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill" www.404media.co/meta-deletes...

Yes, I know it’s hard to cold-turkey Meta products immediately, I’ve heard every rationale, but I would sure like to see some goddamn movement away from giving that demonic man and his genocidal website the attention it needs to survive.

Another way to put this is “if you call yourself an ally to LGTBQ people but can’t be arsed to distance yourself from Meta, you’re a pretty pathetic-ass ally.”

One more way to phrase this: far harder choices than “leaving Meta” are likely to come over the next four years if you claim to be a true ally of the people that Trump will persecute. If you can’t even pull this off, I do question your commitment to the cause in the dark days to come.

That's just really harsh.. I understand you're mad, but to my knowledge, no social media platform has taken advantage of collective outrage in order to actually try to dethrone FB. Your priorities may be different, but I like to have my family know that I care about what's going on in their lives

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.
