Advertisers Aren’t Thrilled With Zuckerberg’s Embrace Of Hate Speech

[xtr0n@sh.itjust.works]

I remember back when Elmo took over Twitter and advertisers could be shamed into quitting. But slowly they all crawled back. Hopefully it will stick this time.

Elmo has had a toxic influence in the modern world.

Hopefully some will still leave in time. I should have left reddit years before I did.

I'm having this discussion with friends. We created a new signal group but some refuse to install signal, because having another app is "too distracting", and using Meta is OK because we also all use Google/Apple products and some people are on instagram.

God damn it these fucking techbro loligarchs and their dipshit nerd humor.

Hurr hurr we're making a fork of the US government code hurr durr.

What a bunch of juvenile fucking delinquents.

Everyone I know that would have left Facebook over this already left years ago during other scares/changes/security issues.

I dropped it cold Turkey about 9yrs ago and never looked back.

[tonytins@pawb.social]

Who knew, these tech bros would drive consumers and advertisers together to fight a common enemy.

[ilovethebomb@lemm.ee]

Just leave them behind if they can't be arsed.

[duamerthrax@lemmy.world]

How rude am I allowed to be to my friends who have facebook accounts? Cause I want to ask them how different it is from Stromfront.

[takeda@lemm.ee]

That doesn't matter, his current customers are governments and oligarchs who want people to have certain opinion.

[kolanaki@yiffit.net]

No. They only get "Want You Gone" from the Portal 2 soundtrack.

[slopppyengineer@lemmy.world]

The Facebook algorithm doesn't show posts from the people you follow only in homeopathic quantities anyway. The rest is junk.

[sunshine@lemmy.ca]

They need to check out Friendica to make it stick.

I logged in a few months ago to deal with something with my Quest, and holy shit.

I didn't follow many people, but every post was some AI generated sexy-single-in-my-area nonsense trying to convince me that I need to call them right now for the hot sex, or something.

It was fucking bizarre and I'm utterly confused as to what in the hell is going on, since if they're showing me that shit, you know they're shoveling it at everyone too? Like, I cannot fathom why anyone would willingly put up with that shit for cat pictures or whtaever the hell boomers use it for.

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

Go make some new disaster

That's what I'm counting on

You're someone else's problem

Now I only want you gone

I was the last of my immediate family on Facebook, and I only stuck around to keep in touch with a couple hobby groups. I decided to cut the cord once Zuck went mask-off, and honestly I haven't regretted it. The family group text is still chugging along fine, and most of the people I actually want to talk to are on other platforms at this point.

I don't blame anybody who feels like they have to keep Facebook to stay in touch with loved ones... but man, it feels good not to have that spammy time suck on my phone anymore.

[hominine@lemmy.world]

Seems reasonable. Probably not that different to boot.

[viking@infosec.pub]

Never bothered with the app to begin with, the mobile website works just fine.
