I wrote a blog post about Meta's announcements this week.

Fool Me Once…

Meta’s recent policy changes reveal a complete lack of integrity within its leadership, prompting me to uninstall Threads and scale back my use of Instagram as a stand for values and against corporate hypocrisy.

@ryanashcraft Considering some changes, too. Like you, I sympathize with the keep in touch aspect. Facebook is more a way to stay in touch with folks older than me at this point. But I think some scaling back, if not outright stops, are in store.

@patrickokeefe one argument for scaling back instead of completely disengaging is it allows you to remain visible and advocate, while minimizing value you are bringing to their platforms

@ryanashcraft It's funny, at about the same time as you were probably writing this, I was talking to my wife about it, and I said "I might just make my account private and use it for family and *antagonistically*." 😄 My FB and IG accounts are public, so making them private could be a way of minimizing value.
