It is almost like meta is a terrible company.
It is important to note that if you followed the official VP Harris or POTUS Biden, those accounts were turned over to Vance and Trump yesterday. It’s not actually an auto-follow because you were already following them.
Great context
Friend of mine showed a screenshot that the official FLOTUS was just renamed to add “archive”
I wonder if trump is now paying people to comb back through previous posts to look for things he can delete or edit to rewrite history. Now that I’ve said I feel fairly sure he’s doing exactly that because he does anything dishonest that he can which is tolerated
I don’t think so. My understanding is NARA actually owns those accounts. He’ll disable NARA and then go back and change posts made during Obama and Biden’s presidencies.
Nara?
National Archives and Records Administration
Thanks. Makes sense
Yeah, except he’ll never pay them.
That just sounds like a dumb way to do it.
That’s the way they do it, these accounts belong to the current potus and vp
Lol not even a fuckin full day.
Do your service and convince your parents to leave every Meta product.
My mom wouldn’t leave Facebook if you paid her. She treats it like it’s the entirety of the Internet
I thought Facebook was dying a few years back and I only became more convinced when an older family member was trying to convince me that it wasn’t.
A social media app that targets old people can’t last.
Block it at their router and blacklist it on her phone
Lol I don’t live at home but if I did that it would just make my brother’s life hell as he had to try and troubleshoot
Better yet, have it redirect to a fake Facebook that pisses them off so much they change platforms
I don’t think that would work in the iOS app even if I wanted it to
Thankfully, mine are too old to ever give a shit about anything on the internet. Sadly, my mother watches fox 24/7… my father doesn’t care for any of it at least and also pokes fun at her for watching that garbage. He still thinks Trump is good because, in his views, he made his stock the highest it ever was, and that’s all that matters. I’m only grateful we never talk about any of it when they see my kids or on holidays.
Ditch the apps.
You are not married to apps.
Anyone on Lemmy should understand that. We came here from elsewhere.
DITCH THE APPS.
Me thinks you’re preaching to the choir 😅
I need for my job, in my country everyone uses What’sApp, this includes the company I work for, I work on the street and that app it’s how they chose to handle communication between co-workers, clients, my boss. It’s the only thing from meta that I have an account. It sucks.
If you search #trans, or #transgender, or #lgbt absolutely no results lol. Searching just #lgb works fine though. Awesome
Searching just #lgb works fine though

“What are you going to do? Leave? Hahaha.”
–Marky Mark, probably
“Yes, if I could, please. Would that be okay?” — more people than you’d like to imagine
Right-Wingers were never anti-censorship look at how they handle books in school.
Can you see how Zuckerberg’s face is turning orange?
Are you suggesting that zuckgöring wasn’t always cheeto orange? News to me.
I’ve just sent messages to my elderly relatives that they’ll no longer find me on Facebook.
That was my only remaining reason for using it. I’ve never had a use for Instagram, or Xitter for that matter.
Deleted my fb account today. Instagram too. Hadn’t really used it other than to talk to my parents. My mom quit too, so I told my dad we can chat over sms and use other video platforms. Been a Facebook user since 2010, a little sad that the site has degraded so much
“Under fire”. Wake me up when someone actually does something about it.
I wonder if people will finally leave things like xitter and FB. So many people that ARE politically aware are still using those fucking sites, giving all kinds of excuses (but my followers).
And I’m not just talking about corporate stooges working for the “liberal media”.
Let’s not forget to blast the assholes responsible for this (the individuals, not the company) as we all leave the crappy platforms so it doesn’t affect us personally.
Yes the correct answer is don’t be on facebook or anything it owns, but also nobody should be doing this, anywhere. Keep the heat on the bastards.
Also, use a good adblocker to prevent Facebook tracking you as a non-user. Ublock and Privacy Badger are useful.
I rarely use Instagram but am about to delete my account there. Will be ceasing to use Whatsapp too, and hopefully deleting my account. I’m otherwise off of meta products. Only problem I foresee is that when traveling outside the US, everyone tends to want to use WhatsApp.
Edit: anyone recommend a WhatsApp alternative? Privacy and widespread adoption are the top concerns. I’m defaulting back to Signal, but I know there have been some issues with it
Signal is the best option. The only downside being that it relies on your cell number. Otherwise it’s the most secure platform/protocol.
What’s the best option if you don’t want to use your phone number?
Signal
Unless they just rolled back the change, #democrat hashtag is definitely working on Instagram:
I wouldn’t put it past them to hastily roll back the change, say “Sorry, we just had a glitch”, and blame Trans people somehow.
They won’t blame anyone. They’ll passive-voice it and do it more subtly.
