lnxtx (xe/xem/xyr)In the UE we have the GDPR.
I often vpn into Europe to make gdpr request lol.
Real question is, how can I uninstall Zuckerberg…
That requires an adjuster
a special adjuster that andy has left at the office…
Don’t stop there:
sudo apt purge billionaires
BlackmistLuigi isn’t a second rate character anymore.
Mario is the black sheep of the family now
robocallMario needs to step up
&& sudo apt autoremove
OgmiosRemember to hit the gym and lawyer up next.
CosmicTurtle0 [he/him]This is a reference I haven’t seen in YEARS.
Damn that takes me back.
I had to look it up myself, but it appears to be divorce advice (hit the gym, lawyer up, delete facebook)
I think this started on reddit in like 2010 or something. Solid joke in this context.
I agree, good reference
No, you hit the LAWYER and gym up.
I don’t think that most of the lemmy crowd needs this info to beginn with…
OtterBut we may have friends and family members asking about it
And surely we would be happy to help if asked.
Where’s the article on how to profit off of racist idiots on Facebook?
PerogiBoiMake a red bubble store and sell political slogan T shirts. You can easily make a couple hundred a month just doing that. “This is Trump Country” shirts have been doing insanely well since November.
Gizmodo’s post on this has the most honest title: A Lot of People Are Searching for How to Delete Facebook and Instagram, and We Would Like Their Clicks
LOL! They’re not even pretending to be a news outlet anymore.
catsarebadpeopleDo they have Facebook trackers embedded in their page? I’ll bet they do.
Is this @technology?
tacosanonymousIs the process different from it was in 2015?
Now you must sacrifice your first born.
Oh hey, good reminder. The one upside to the fact that my FB account continually revived itself while I was using my Quest 2 is that now I can delete my account (for the last time, I hope) as part of a widespread protest instead of a one-off annoyance.
How to “delete” them? Words really have no meaning anymore.
It’s short for deleting your account, data, etc… People ommit those words for a long time now, like “Do you have Lemmy?” or “What is your Mastodon?”
Anyone that still has these accounts hasn’t been paying attention the last few years and is part of the problem. I doubt many CURRENT Fb, Ig, Threads users will change their habits.
Dumb fucks
Become a master hacker who can access their servers?
If you’re still on those platforms, why would less censorship be the hill to die on?
oddIt’s always good to leave them. It’s always good to remind and enable people to do so.
Sure, but why would less interference from the CIA or Mossad executives at fb be an incentive?
“It’s always good to remind and enable people to do so.”
Its less censorship AND an allowance of actual hate speech.
Meta’s New Content Policy Will Harm Vulnerable Users. If It Really Valued Free Speech, It Would Make These Changes
Earlier this week, when Meta announced changes to their content moderation processes, we were hopeful that some of those changes—which we will address in more detail in this post—would enable greater freedom of expression on the company’s platforms, something for which we have advocated for many...
Ehh. While I don’t support Meta’s real name policy, with it being paired with this, I somewhat support allowing these people to put themselves. Let them face the societal consequences of hate speech.
It still has a real impact on the people being harmed. I dont know if bullies getting social consequences for their actions outweighs the pain they have already inflicted.
That said, hopefully better information dissemination will help anyone being targeted to find better places where bullies are defederated/moderated for being shitty humans rather than based on shareholder value and kissing the ring of a dictator.
FelixDeleted everything Meta related in 2022. I have no regrets. Zuck can Suck it
Has he contacted you yet to schedule a time to suck it?
Sucky sucky
Pffft! This is soooo 2015.
nepenthesI turfed FB then as well (didn’t bother with the other stuff).
But now I’m worried I deactivated it and didn’t delete… I wonder if it’s better to just leave it a greyed out graveyard, than to reactivate it just to delete. I feel like reactivating would give it more information even, as I would be on a different device. It’s been dead a decade.
What do people suggest?
Its deleted by now. However since you didnt request your data deleted complying with EU and California laws, its still very much there.
rnerclefuck!
i made a filter with words “zuckerberg” and “meta” but not “facebook”
Good call.
MyOpinionDo it! Delete it.
How to delete is not the problem. That’s the trivial part. In fact, you don’t even need to delete your account. Just stop using it.
The problem is how to get your friends and acquintances out of there. Lots of things are there and only there. Like it’s my jujitsu club’s main place of information. If I quit FB, I will no longer know what’s happening there.
Put pressure on the group owners to pack it up and move the group elsewhere. Where the group goes, they’ll follow.
stebothey will never understand and ignore you since you’re the only one complaining anyways
sudoer777Also Facebook Groups for obscure things, Facebook Marketplace, and even a lot of local political organizations primarily use Instagram
i tried to avoid it and deny it forever but facebook marketplace has really destroyed craigslist. so lame
grysbokI just had a successful transaction on Craigslist today. Don’t give up the dream!
ThePowerOfGeekThis is the problem I’ve run into. I wanted to stay as part of a social group I’m nominally in, but that group’s only presence is on Facebook. And the group admins don’t want to move somewhere else because a) it’s change, and b) there aren’t many other options as good at managing such groups.
On a related topic, does anyone know of a good Federated alternative to Facebook. Or at least an alternative that’s less ad-riddled and more privacy-conscious)?
I looked around online last night and all the articles out there suggested things like Reddit, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter as Facebook alternatives, which are wrong on so many levels. I’m not that bothered about getting an alternative myself since I barely used FB anyway. But being my extended family’s tech support, I keep getting asked about what good alternatives are out there. I’m finding nothing, but I’m likely missing a good Federated option.
i deployed a Lemmy instance to use… not sure if there’s anything better
