It’s really disturbing seeing social media start leaning this way. It’s very obvious controlled fascist propaganda. Have you seen what Twitter is now? It’s actually creepy and insane.

Remove yourself from algo driven sites, set up an rss reader and hand pick your media, subcribe to newsletters of trustworthy media sites, delete useless apps from your phone or better jailbreak it and install graphene, get an e-reader secondhand and start reading etc etc.
This is how everything works under capitalism.
Capitalism? Are these paid services? This is bribery. They are getting something from the government for pushing their agenda.
They are paid services. The ad companies pay the services for access to the services resources.

Meta sucks
So what are you all going to do about it?
Move to mastodon and lemmy
Give the right the eyes and ears to everyone sounds like a great idea while we sink into the corner
Continue to not use Facebook/Instagram.
I switched to Lemmy when Reddit came out in support of people who abuse children. I don't even mean Trump, I just mean in general. I suggested abusers in general should face harsher penalties. They banned me for it. I said "holy shit you just did me a huge favor, apparently I was on the wrong site because our values are 100% incompatible."
I mean, there isn't even a debate. I'm not talking about people who find themselves attracted to kids. I'm talking about people who actually went out and hurt a real child facing longer, more meaningful sentences and they said nah, those people are people and need to be protected.
I've moved social networks on account of incompatible values and I think others will, too. Maybe not the majority but I think some others will. Especially as things get worse. There are networks for people who hate (like Truth Social), and networks for people who don't care (like Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp), but I think as things change, more people will care and will look elsewhere. Not everyone but some people.
I got banned for suggested someone stab a can with a knife to open it (they didn’t have a can opener). They said I was promoting violence. I appealed and a human still banned me for that. What a crock lol

Those who use Instagram will keep using it and forget all about this within 24 hours.
