Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Personally, I don't interact with Meta's/Facebook's AI (and I never will) but this looks like a data leak waiting to happen.

Assume everything you say to an "AI" is being recorded.

Unless it's fully local, where you can control such things.

Even then, it is advisable to remember that probably everything is recorded in the logs on the disk. :)

Not to sound too mean here, but... not a single day goes by without someone complaining about Facebook/Meta and refusing to not use their shitty (dis-)services.

To a degree, I get why people were or are using Facebook, etc, but how much more does need to happen, until they finally don't anymore?

That's true... If there was a FOSS-based alternative (like how Lemmy and its instances are alternatives to Reddit, or how Bluesky/Mastodon are alternatives to Xitter) I can see myself jumping ship and using that instead of Facebook/Messenger, with the only obstacle being that I kinda need Messenger for checking college announcements and communicating with professors and classmates, since that's what everybody uses.

Isn't Signal user friendly enough? Depending on the country, public services need to uphold a certain privacy standard anyway.

I recently wanted to watch a video online, that, it turned out, was hosted by facebook. It said I needed to sign up to watch it. I really wanted to watch it so decided to make a facebook account, but as part of the process, it said

"Confirm your identity with a video selfie To make sure that you're a real person, we need you to record a video selfie. We'll ask you to move your head during the recording to help us capture your face at different angles."

And no way am I doing that, I mean what on earth are they going to use that for? So I didn't sign up and didn't get to watch the video.

People who use Facebook or Instagram deserve every bad thing that happens to them as a result
