“Leaving Facebook or Twitter means leaving behind the people who comfort and support you when you are subject to abuse. The more abuse and discrimination you face, the more that support matters, and the harder it is to leave that community behind. You love your community more than you hate Zuck or Musk, so you stay” @pluralistic

Pluralistic: The cost of doing business (25 Mar 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

@johnpaulflintoff @pluralistic This certainly described me until recently, but this week I'm finally getting off FB. I sent messages to the people that matter with where they can reach me, and now I'm just going to unceremoniously delete it. I'm fortunate enough to have a strong support network offline now, and I'm starting to join local community activities as an alternative. So I no longer have any justifiable reason to participate in Zuckerberg's evil, data-hoarding behemoth.
