social media is what you make of it.
too many people cant accept the fact that others don't have their same mindset or view of things in the world and feel they must do anything to change them to their thinking. garbage in, garbage out..

since the onset of 2020 i made adjustments to my feed to see what i want to see. i also didn't let myself get caught up in the BS that's been going on. i started to use it more like this forum, just a wealth of information on vast subjects, finding different interest groups, pages that im interested in learning about, and finding positive things to follow and even share. FB marketplace is also where i spend a lot of my time on the platform. most of my stuff is car, camping, adventure travel, making things related.
That is exactly how I use it, I easily ignore the rest of the crap on there. The politics thing is funny, the idea of my changing some ones mind or them changing mine is laughable, aint going to happen....Like teaching a rock to fetch. :p

Good Riddance. Those platforms could be gone forever and it would only affect me (and the rest of the world) in a positive way.

Those social media platforms are the straight devil.

Of course this will all blow over and it’ll be back to the bull shit status quo before you know it.

Yep

And just like that you’re not a model anymore. 😂

Or an influencer or whatever the fuck name you give yourself

I just call myself Dave.. lol

Although I will say I had a weird experience over the weekend. Someone asked me what I do for a living, so I told them I own rdp. They said they didn’t believe me. 😳. Wasn’t quite sure how to respond to that.. lol.

Funny thing is post like this that people try to justify why it "ok" that they use these platforms. "But I just use it to talk to family.. or to buy/sale stuff!"

Whatever the reason you're still ultimately supporting, by using it, what you are against.

Goes back to the "ok for me, but not for thee"

Pretty simple, you either support it or you dont, making reasons/excuses why you support it/dont support it, but still use it is asinine..

JMO

If you have it an use it IN ANY MANNER you support it! Saying "I dont support it, I just use it for xxx!" Is laughable!

Just get tired of people bitching about facebook and other social medias and how they are the devil, but still have an active account that is most likely used daily.

If you have an account dont make excuses for why you use it, just step up and admit that you support it for whatever reason. Because that is what reality is!.

This 100%, about 9am my wife calls me and asked if I needed anything from Tractor Supply Co, and since I work across the street from TSC she asked if she could bring me lunch. On her days off she's never out of bed before 11. I asked her if this had anything to do with Facebook.

Facebook has been doing everything they denied doing. Apps are designed to be addictive, suppressing speech, targeting younger users to get them hooked.

WSJ ran a series of articles last week on the documents that were leaked.

that almost like tobacco companies telling everyone for decades their product was "not harmful", who would have thought another industry would do the same exact thing for profit?

Did you notice regardless of what she said, CBS put Trump Rally's and Jan 6th in the background? They're all in cahoots.

I did not but my mother questioned about the revenue to J6 and why they are not calling out the mostly peaceful protests. You are right they are in cahoots. They tell you just a little to make them look to be honest but no fundamental change is EVER made.

Tx for that overview. Will anything change now? Most likely not

For all you closet FB lovers, I just got notified about a POA board meeting, opened FB to locate the post for time and place and it's up and humming. 😁

The media is in on this shit. 60 minutes is just as complacent as FaceBook is. A year from now this will be the excuse they use to clamp down tighter on pro- conservative sites and posts even further. All these fucks have sold their souls to the devil.

I bet she place a bunch of Facebook put contracts, just before realizing the information she has, needed to be released.

Zuckerburg lost $6 billion today. 😉

I agree 1000% on this. Zuckerberg is worth $132 Billion and growing. Is this the guy you really want influencing our politics and policy? He will be the next Soros or Gates. A man who censored a sitting president and got away with influencing federal elections.
Here you have a rare opportunity to affect change by simply not using the site. Costs you nothing and with most likely improve your life.

Years ago I tried FB cuz our young adult children (4) were on it and so were friends. Did not want to miss out on the opportunity to be invested in their lives. I lasted about 6 months and said no more.

People still go to FB?

I never took them too serious even before they flushed their last shred of credibility down the drain. No one should take them too seriously either.

I only go there to see titties bounce and asses shake. All they are good for really

Years ago I was pressured by my friends to get on facebook so they can stay in touch with me, I never did. I guess they just wanted me to get with the new age / times. My reasoning was why can't I just drive over to your house or call you on the phone, that seemed to work well long before social media...

The scary part is that all these tech lords don't even care about the money! They all dress like slobs and marry mediocre women. Huge clucks that fiend on controlling the society that called them "nerds" their whole lives!

My sister set me up with that shit about 8 years ago. Why I did it, I don't know but it did nothing but come back to haunt me when a couple of fuctards used it against me on this site. They're long gone now and so is my FB account.
It doesn't matter who you are, sometime, somewhere, it will be used against you!!!! Mark MY words!!!!!

The ugly wives is just a front for their real desires, being friends with Jeffrey Epstein types.

I always told my clients to stay off social media. I can't tell you how many times I would use a person's social media posts and pictures to destroy them in custody battles. I just never could understand how a person could take the stand under oath and blatantly lie. " No, I never drank while taking the kids out on the boat!" Then you start pulling out the my space or FB pictures with them drinking and quotes about how much vodka they drank while boating with the kids.

Or the idiots who claimed they couldn't work and needed spousal support due to back injuries. Then we pull out the pictures of them riding and jumping quads at glamis etc.

I just don't get the attention whores. LAM!!!

Cheers, Steve
