When I read the first 4 words I had a hope…
Fuck zuck. Of course a pathetic man like him would fight feminism as soon as he felt comfortable doing so
Lol. Feminism should be the standard. Everything else is simply sexism.
So would promoting a play about how great capitalism is get filtered out I wonder?
I’m fortunate to be of the age where I’ve grown out of Facebook so never bothered to setup Instagram.
Moving on from WhatsApp is hard though 😡
facebook has become such a sinister platform. i’ve witnessed several members of my family become radicalized by their algorithms pushing conspiratorial rhetoric. the worst part? they refuse to use anything else. there’s just something about facebook that has them convinced it’s reputable.
It creates the illusion of socializing while using the Fox News formula of alternating between titillation and fear. That and youtube idiots and podcast bros have ruined so many people’s lives.
This…
-
STOP.
-
USING.
-
FACEBOOK.
- Promote
- Viable
- Alternatives
“Let’s have tacos tonight.” “Nah Im not feeling tacos.” “OK let’s get Chinese food.” “Nah i don’t want Chinese food.” "…ok… let’s make soup. " “Nah I don’t want soup tonight.”
Facebook to Friendica
Twitter/Threads to Mastodon/Euclavd
Instagram to Pixelfed/Vernissage
Tiktok to Loops
YouTube to PeerTube
Anything else?
Edit:
Whatsapp to Signal/Delta Chat/Cwtch/Briar
Reddit to Lemmy/Piefed/Pylova
The viable alternative is nothing.
Because no one gives a shit about you (general you, not specific at BitsAndBites), or about what you say. You use it cause you’re addicted to performing for people you dont even talk to or like, because no one can actually maintain hundreds, if not thousands of connections like you collect on facebook, most of whom don’t even give a shit about you. its just a mutual masturbation session, only instead of jerking each others dicks off, your jerking eachother off with pointless likes.
All social media is, is a means of generating profit from mental illness, and manufacturing mental illness for profit.
the problem is people are so addicted to it, at least in my province. They don’t want to hear about any alternative that would require the smallest effort. In the 80’s, Dead Kennedys made an album called “Give me convenience or give me death”. I took me decades to realize how accurate this title was for depicting the world we live in.
Big liZard in my back yard! Heh thanks I haven’t thought of them in a while
You don’t have to tell this to me. You have to tell this to my entire extended elderly family.
And also Instagram and whatever other Zuck products are in your life. I’m happy they wasted so many billions of dollars setting of virtual Mii meetings lmao…

The production in question is an adaptation of “A Room of One’s Own,” a book by the legendary English author and feminist Virginia Woolf. According to the Teatre Raval, planned promotional posts about the show were blocked on both Instagram and Facebook, likely by an automated content moderation system.
After reaching out to Meta about why the promo campaign had been stomped out, the company replied that “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system,” and therefore rejected.
According to the Guardian, the company then cryptically recommended the Raval remove “key words” related to social activism, so the promo campaign can pass the automated censor — though the company failed to explain what, exactly, its content system objected to.
”We don’t know if the publicity has been rejected because of the name of Virginia Woolf or because of the word feminism, or both,” Clara Sanchis, who stars in the one-woman show told the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, per the Guardian, which translated the comments.
“In any case, it’s a way of erasing from the map advances that have taken centuries to achieve,” Sanchis continued. “We have given social media unlimited power and every day we can see how dangerous this is. It’s bias and manipulation.”
It’s not going to stop at Meta just like it did not stop at Roe v Wade being overturned.
I’m sick of men telling me that I’m overreacting about these issues.
Yepppp, where meta goes rightwards other social media sites follow. And many of them are run by misogynists
There is no over-reaction to actual censorship.
Absolutely. It’s not just the censorship though - it’s the attack on women’s rights that I’m referencing.
I’m sick of men telling me that I’m overreacting about these issues.
The ones telling you that you’re over reacting are the ones who have a vested interest in your downfall
The United States and its most powerful corporations now fully and openly embrace fascism. Revolution is our only hope now, there is no one coming to save us but ourselves. Join your local socialist group and start training now. Don’t wait for the mass arrests to begin.
It is always that deep.
what the actual fuck. almost every week I hear about Meta failing to remove scams, child porn or hateful shit from their platforms, and now this…?
enormous amounts of people are hanging in a Nazi bar everyday but they’re just too comfortably addicted to do otherwise. it’s sick
Meta wants to be the global town square, but apparently Virginia Woolf and feminism are too dangerous for its ad system. Meanwhile the company keeps asking us to trust its algorithms with billions of people’s speech. If Meta can’t distinguish feminist literature from prohibited content, maybe it shouldn’t be the internet’s self appointed censor.
But hardcore porn is perfectly fine.
hardcore child porn, to be exact.
I haven’t been on Facebook in years. And I plan to keep it that way. Last time I was on there it was filled with AI generated content and advertisements and I couldn’t even see my friends posts. What’s the point then?
Nobody needs meta. Just stop using any of their products.
I can’t think of the last time I used Facebook or anything related to it, my life is better for it.
Just leave them behind.
This is fine under section 230.
Be careful, we don’t want to get rid of section 230.
Best thing to do is get as many people off meta sites as possible.
Walk away.
