Facebook now allows attacks on immigrants and trans people, and posts like “Mexican immigrants are trash!” and “I’m a proud racist.”

Leaked Doc: New Rules Allow Slurs on Facebook, Meta Platforms

‘It’s Total Chaos Internally at Meta Right Now’: Employees Protest Zuckerberg’s Anti LGBTQ Changes

These examples are even worse than what I imagined, holy shit, Zuckerberg is fucking scum.

Tech billionaires as soon as Trump wins: "Lets become bigoted, fascist cunts!"

It's disgusting and I already deleted my alt FB account (should have done a long time ago)

Can't delete my main as FB messenger is how my family in The Netherlands contacts me. They use WhatsApp more but I have no smart phone and that's by Meta as well so no desire to sign up for that at all.

I prefer Discord nowadays, still independent for now although it has its own share of questionable issues.

Bring back AOL (AIM) or MSN Messenger. Social platforms are a fail.

Meta is the reason I avoided Threads and thankfully I don't have an Instagram either.

I do have a Facebook account but I never use it and sign in like once every few months, Lol. I'm more convinced than ever to delete it but it's my only link to a lot of family members and friends, I have WhatsApp too but in the UK it's hard not to have WhatsApp considering how practically everyone uses it for messaging now. But yeah Discord is like 90% of my social presence now, Lol.

All these unregulated social media platforms are going to doom us, humanity will become even more stupid, even more manipulated and they'll be nowhere to go to avoid all the disgusting hate which billionaires will not only look the other way on but actively encourage because as long as people are busy attacking each other for stupid shit, nobody is attacking the billionaires while they bleed the world dry.

I will say though I avoided deleted Twitter for months but when I finally did it was pretty damn easy to move on, to the point where, I think if Bluesky goes to shit I will just remember how easy it was to abandon Twitter and dump Bluesky too, I don't really feel the need to be on social media anymore. But nothing lasts forever, MSN was killed by Skype, Skype was killed by Discord, Myspace was killed by Facebook, Twitter is only being kept alive because Musk has other revenue streams and even unprofitable it's useful for the Republican Party, I hope Facebook one day dies.
