Summary
Meta’s recent shift to right-leaning policies, including ending fact-checking in the U.S., scaling back content moderation, and allowing anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, has sparked boycotts and a user exodus.
The company also disbanded its diversity, equity, and inclusion team, drawing criticism.
Prominent users like director Cord Jefferson and nonprofits like Equal Access Public Media have left or reduced activity on Meta platforms.
Many are migrating to alternatives such as Bluesky, Amigahood, and Tumblr, while some remain trapped due to Meta’s dominance in communication and business.
I’m still frustrated that everything people sell is just on Facebook marketplace now. No one uses stuff like Craigslist anymore, and it’s super frustrating cause I periodically wanna get something used but really hate that everything is just listed on facebook
There’s also Nextdoor app if you’re looking for local stuff that’s free and for sale. It’s full of old people posting random shit just like Facebook tho.
I dunno man, I didn’t like my time on Nextdoor. Those people were some of the NIMBYest and casually racist people I’ve seen.
That’s what it is in SF. Angry elderly racists. No more, no less.
Honestly, it’s between the UI and the chat feature. And the fact it’s at least slightly tied to your identity. And selling on Craigslist being kind of clunky still. They could probably make up the difference if they tried.

And people wonder why tiktokers aren’t moving to Instagram after the app ban
Same thing as Harris trying to cater to MAGA with anti-immigrant rhetoric and all that. They already hate her, so it doesn’t win them over, but alienates the followers.
Good, fuck’em
Zuck wanted Trump to fuck him after the whole shooting thing in Butler, PA. Zuck is a Hitler fanboy.
Took them long enough. I left that place over 10 years ago.
If you stay on facebook/whatsapp/instagram/threads you’re kind of complicit… It might be convenient, fun or profitable to be complicit, but you’re the product that they sell; you’re the social network keeping other people there; you’re the reach for the ads and misinformation.
Either you leave, or you’re helping zuck.
Tell people how to reach you. Contact them once in a while if you actually want to stay in touch.
Oh holy fuck, that’s a must watch every time I’m led to it LMAO
What is the alternative that people are going to, and how is their moderation?
I don’t use any of that stuff, but I saw this here about Pixelfed the other day:
