Summary
Meta’s recent shift to right-leaning policies, including ending fact-checking in the U.S., scaling back content moderation, and allowing anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, has sparked boycotts and a user exodus.
The company also disbanded its diversity, equity, and inclusion team, drawing criticism.
Prominent users like director Cord Jefferson and nonprofits like Equal Access Public Media have left or reduced activity on Meta platforms.
Many are migrating to alternatives such as Bluesky, Amigahood, and Tumblr, while some remain trapped due to Meta’s dominance in communication and business.
I’m still frustrated that everything people sell is just on Facebook marketplace now. No one uses stuff like Craigslist anymore, and it’s super frustrating cause I periodically wanna get something used but really hate that everything is just listed on facebook
There’s also Nextdoor app if you’re looking for local stuff that’s free and for sale. It’s full of old people posting random shit just like Facebook tho.
I dunno man, I didn’t like my time on Nextdoor. Those people were some of the NIMBYest and casually racist people I’ve seen.

The company that still fights to pay disabled people less than minimum wage? Probably better than suggesting Amazon, but still not that great an alternative.
