I got kicked off Facebook because I clicked onto an article showing how "Big Mac's" were served originally with a thin cardboard sleeve . According to Facebook I was in violations of their "community standards" WTF ? My message to Zuckerberg " Go Fuck Yourself" & your "Community Standards" !

Inertia. When you've got a decade of pictures uploaded there, a bunch of social groups, etc, it's hard to make a jump to a fresh platform. On the other end, this means they're definitely not going to regain lost users if they decide to turn their policies around

"3.71 billion people in the world use at least one app owned by Meta every month. That represents 70% of all internet users. " Let's see if the Facebook boycotters have an effect. Thank Gawd for Bluesky. Maybe we should thank the developers.

Pro tip: you have to delete them all. Your deleted Facebook account is effectively reactivated if you continue to post on Instagram or Threads. You can’t see it, but it’s still sucking up your data. Get rid of all of it. You’ll survive, trust and believe.

Since Z stopped fact-checking on FB, people are posting that he was a pedo who died of syphilis, had the first rat to human penis transplant and more. I can't post on FB but I think I have one worthy of sharing. Zberg not only eats his own boogers, he eats other people's. Can someone share on FB?

Can someone please buy Instagram from Meta. There takeover of Instagram was the most vile thing ever. So, sick of big companies buying small companies and destroying everything beautiful in America.

I would argue that their purchase of WhatsApp is even more vile. WhatsApp is arguably the most used text messaging app in the world, and Meta owns it. Instagram people can live without, but Latin America and Europe run on WhatsApp.

Oh I'd love that.. but there's little chance of that happening. I've had Signal on my phone for years and I only talk with one person on it, who is also in IT, and I really only talk to him once in a while so it's barely being used.

I have LINE on my phone to talk to one friend that lives in Taiwan, but that's it. No one else on my contact list uses LINE. For everyone else it's a mix if SMS/iMessage and Discord. No Meta apps for me.

Whatsapp got me and millions of others needed communication with family, friends, and employers all over the world. Hope to use both these platforms. Since I m leaving all other social media due to lack of comfort, safety, and privacy.

Coming soon to Facebook Neo-Nazis, Incels, MAGA, foreign bots, crypto scammers, porn advertisers, false merchants, foreign agents, automated feeds, misogynists, racists, shit posters, far right influencers, edge lords, guerilla marketers, 4channers, Gamergaters, Zuckerberg and Musk propagandists

Migrating from Meta and X lowers their Daily Average Users (DAU), cutting into their ad revenue. Each new Bluesky member reduces their influence and strengthens our community, amplifying our voices and reshaping the social media landscape.

👉 Friends still on Threads, FB, or X? 🦋 Show them what they’re missing! Share your profile & why you switched 1️⃣ Powerful Moderation tools 2️⃣ Meaningful Conversations 3️⃣ Transparency 4️⃣ A Future built on Truth 5️⃣ #StrongerTogether #BlueCrew Let’s grow this community TODAY!

A Facebook deactivation lowers DAU, reducing their ad revenue, but it doesn’t fully cut their influence—they may still track you. The best move? Bring your friends to Bluesky and build a community where transparency replaces exploitation.

Add me to that list. I just requested my information download last night. I hope that it doesn’t take longer because of higher demands. Frankly, I’ve been meaning to get off Facebook for some time. This was the great push that did it. I’m going… but not completely gone yet!

Requested lifetime information, but I pretty much limited my participation to basic posts and albums. I don’t care about most of the other “stuff”. I was never became “Facebook of everything”, which is just insane! And I could just abandon or delete pages and groups… became useless years ago!!

I just moved to Bluesky this week because of the influx of bots on FB. I've had to leave groups I love because they've been flooded with unrelated posts and no one was doing anything about it. Also, FB is garbage.

Wanting to, and feeling in position to, are very different things. I want to cancel WhatsApp, tried previously (to move primarily to Signal), but not enough people did the same. If I stop using WhatsApp, it'll isolate me further. Stopping the social media sites isn't the same though.

Ayup, that was me. I deleted Threads (Instagram) just after it was announced. Not that they ever had any real fact-checking, just because it signals fealty to the new government. Still on Facebook because that's were my moron friends are.

Why should this guy or Elon Musk be able to manipulate us or have any say in our lives? BlueSky, Wikipedia, Youtube and Substack prove that we don't need oligarchs, their bad software, and their political agendas.

He can call it virtue signalling if he wants but the BS, conflict is tiring and boring. I have better things to do in my life than at to the echo chamber. LinkedIn is getting the same now

I didn’t need to Google, but it was enough to light a fire under me to finally start transitioning over here. Haven’t had Facebook for more than a decade, and don’t plan on being on Instagram any longer than I have to. Please encourage your followers to come to this platform!

Why? Call people on the phone, write letters, start entertaining at home, host a game nite, join community groups, play a sport, read a book, make something, create something. Listen to NPR while doing something constructive. Help someone (every day in ways big and small)...Bake/share

I have my email saying my account will be deleted in 30 days. Over a decade gone like that. Multiple million-dollar ideas given away for free. Evil=Greed*Intelligence^Choices. I am owed debts from those wealthy and powerful enough to kick down.
