Meta is cancer

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 174 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Facebook was cancer, Meta is metastatic cancer.

Ooh, I finally understand their name change.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

It was right there in front of us all along!

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 142 points 3 months ago

and this is why anti-meta fedipact was necessary

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 93 points 3 months ago

Booooooooooo

That's all. I'm too drunk for a nuanced thought. So just booooooooooo.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 79 points 3 months ago

I mean I see the sensibility after reading the article, especially when applied to every other politician and the like. But... Trump is hate... Its all he spews everywhere....

Most of us. Project 2025 will turn the entire nation into a hell hole if it doesn't rip it apart first.

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts says the planned transformation of American governance will be bloodless, ‘if the left allows it to be’.”

See? It won’t rip the country apart just as long as ‘the left’ let them implement it without putting up a fuss! (sarcasm tag folks)

SO GO VOTE AND NEVER GIVE THEM A CHANCE!

I was at a Pride event and a long time activist said this (about gay rights and what happened with ‘Roe v. Wade’):

If you take it for granted, they’ll take it away!

Paste this up in elderly neighborhoods with "Trump wants to take your social security away!" in big letters. Thats the shit that scares them the most.

Trump is a worldender

He's just blowing the trumpet to signal the end. A symptom of a diseased system.

Come down to Houston where a relatively mild hurricane has knocked out power for half the city going on nearly a week. This isn't just a Trump thing. The rot goes deep.

i don't know if that changes anything. Facebook is already 30% his voters and 70% bots

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Just like Google, the fixation is far more on engagement farming than content quality management.

Trump stuff gets the clicks, so you're going to see a lot more of it. Also, expect to see an increasing wave of ☯👺 𝐏ᑌＳşƳ ιᑎ вι𝕠 🐤🐧 tier posts.

Don't forget about the soldiers with huge boots over their prosthetic legs. It's their birthday, all 10,000 of them. So sad. Did you see the young man who made an impressive sculpture of a dog? Or how about the other 7 million of them? Dog sculpting is really taking off I hear.

Is this the latest wave of nonsense? I haven't been on FB in a while

Please reply to my post with any random emoji if you had tangible relief and improved relationships when trump was kicked off Twitter.

I noticed an immediate and drastic difference in my work environment, for example. I could elaborate but would ramble

This is because Trump was attacking Zuck, he can't keep getting away with this shit. I hate this fucking reality

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I agree that tech companies should stay out of politics. I still hate Facebook and Meta in general...

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The zuck suck. It's like a blowjob with all the pleasure but none of the release.
