Note: Facebook WILL NOT ALLOW you to unfollow him. Only not get his posts.
If you unfollow Facebook refollows automatically.
@Dhmspector
Hey @404mediaco, are you tracking this?

@inthehands @Dhmspector @404mediaco

It should be noted that the facebook mobile UI caches heavily and can show you as following someone for some time after you've unfollowed.

Also the original is the wrong UI for unfollowing.

so yeah.

@indrora @Dhmspector @404mediaco
Yeah, it’s •probably• nothing worse than a UX fail. Hard to say without seeing exactly what they’re seeing.

But…we’re all on eggshells right now, and not without reason. It seems like the sort of thing that 404 does a good job of sussing out.

@inthehands @indrora @404mediaco doesn’t explain the fact many people reporting they’re suddenly following him, Melania, and JD Vance where they weren’t before.
@Dhmspector This is just insane
@stux @Dhmspector just another reason for people to start to look into switching to Friendica as soon as possible
@slowenough @stux @Dhmspector oh yeah. Let's try to convince as many people as possible to make the switch on that day

@stux @Dhmspector Is this for people in the US only? Because this is not the case for me. I am not forced to follow.

@matt @Dhmspector Good to know! I was wondering both in this case actually

It seems for ppl inside the US it;s manetory now

@stux @matt @Dhmspector this is not the same account as above though. Is the first one the official "Potus" account, and the second one the personal account of Trump?
#UsPol #Facebook

@elduvelle @stux @Dhmspector Ooof, well spotted! Here's the other one. I'm not forced to follow either (thank god!)

The only difference here is they seem to have re-ordered the menu items. 

@Dhmspector I wonder if this will be a “mistake” in the algorithm by tomorrow?

@Dhmspector

#Alt4You Video clip of someone unfollowing Trump's profile in the Facebook mobile app, then they scroll away to elsewhere in the app, then when they go back to Trump's profile it is showing them following Trump again.

@Dhmspector Are you from the US Dave?

@Dhmspector *SO* glad I dumped Facebook.

Fuck that noise.

@Dhmspector Apparently it's Donald, Melania, Vance, and what ever his other half is called. Twatwaffle is my favorite word for her.
I am not seeing that (yet?) on my account. 🤞
@Dhmspector LMFAO at anyone still on facebook, the cesspool of the internet that people cannot seem to walk away from no matter how much it rips at the fabric of society and enriches billionaries who are destroying us
@Dhmspector I'm in the US, and my FB doesn't follow him

@Dhmspector

Just reported this page as a fake person and blocked it. But I never followed.

@Dhmspector Zuckerberg need to practice the salutation in front of the mirror in order to be a part of the manly gang of men
@Dhmspector Are you sure? I'm not following, and FB hasn't made me.
@Dhmspector if you delete ypur facebook account it unfollows and never follows back.
@Dhmspector Facebook is a large platform, they have many databases to sync. That's probably why your subscription status is not updated immediately.
@Dhmspector I posted a message yesterday on Facebook saying I was going to delete my account and explaining why. In the night my account xas blocked and I can not access it anymore. Wonder what this is about...

@Dhmspector

My wife finally deleted her FB account as a result of this.
