Fun fact: Zuckerberg loves having water poured over a cloth on his face
Zuck just realized that his main FB user base is older conservative people that he can either lose even more to X and Gab, or he can let FB turn into the wild west the users want.
His IG user base is stable, young, and left-leaning. So he still has those users in another segment of the business until some mass exodus to pixelfed that won't every really happen.
It wouldn’t be pixelfed anyway. It would be their loop product. The vast majority of instagram users give fuck all about photos and just endlessly swipe through stories nonstop for those 10 second dopamine video hits. It’s no different than reels on Facebook as you said, just geared toward a different generation. My grandmother is hopelessly addicted to FB reels, and my fiancé is hopelessly addicted to IG stories, but the behavior is identical.
Yeah, same with my dad. Best thing that ever happened to him was a Nigerian scammer tried to hijack his account and FB suspended the account for 6 months.
But then a week later he had some new account with no friends just for the reels. ಥ_ಥ

And although it isn't LGBTQ+, it definitely looks mentally ill. Hopefully it will shed and slither back to whatever hole it came from.
Do they have a No Homers sign too?
