Today I posted a picture of a stamp with an animal in it and they said the picture contained nudity and made me take it down, but I reported a photo of a guy with a fully visible swastika tattoo and they said that’s fine.
I’d like to start a Lemmy community with photos of stuff that they refuse to remove called FacebookSaysItsFine.
Just delete your account, stop using it.
but what other honest and trustworthy corporation do I give all this valuable personally-identifiable information to?
I promise if you give it to me it will be secure since I am such a failure of a person I will lose it.
Can you send me page after page of ads and sprinkle in people in third world countries making street food or doing some jank trade work?
I find it hard because of my Livejournal friends, it’s the way we’re still in touch.
Exchange your email with your fb friends and toss your fb account in the trash.
I made a Facebook account a few months ago, not to post on it, but to access Facebook Marketplace because it’s sometimes cheaper than Craigslist
Livejournal is still there. I have a permanent account from back when they allowed you to purchase an account for like $100 USD. I mailed them a check and everything.
All my photos and everything are still up. I see other people blogging there too. I still get email notifications from there too.
Just go back to using Livejournal. It’s a fine platform honestly.
Hell I went back to using just tumblr and nothing else really aside from Lemmy as a message board.
I gave it up because it’s basically a Russian government propaganda machine now. Did you listen to the Reply All episode about it? I too mailed a check for a permanent account but it stopped feeling safe in about 2015 so I shut down, nobody posts or reads there anyway that I know anymore. I miss it terribly. It was the absolute golden age of social media and I am closer to those friends than I am to anyone else.
i hope it takes linkedin with it
“I’d like to say thank you to [company name] for hiring me. To the unemployed, get fucked.”
I’ve never understood why people use it for socials. Jobs! That’s where it fits in my life. Last two have been through there. That’s all it is.
using it as a social media will drive you insane.
Especially if you use the mobile app as it is riddled with ads and there are no mods available as far as I know
There is a person I work with who has the unofficial job of LinkedIn stalking our competition. You can get some ideas of what they are doing this way. Are they looking for someone with this particular skill set? Maybe they are trying to get into another sector. I got a bio on my counterpart over there.
I’m not very active on linkedin, but it seems fine. The job listings are a bit shitty. There’s other platforms that offer better job listings. Also there’s a couple peopke who treat linkedin as facebook2.0, but I can mostly ignore those. I use it to keep a professional network and linkedin seems to be doing an okay job at that.
I remember I made a Kurt Cobain reference as a joke, and Facebook said I was breaking the rules against suicide or whatever.
Yeah, the same Facebook that was totally fine with an actual violent video I reported
They removed one of my posts for saying I was going to fight a person that doesn’t exist. It was completely obvious that the entire thing was a joke, and again, the person doesn’t even exist, but I guess that’s a more credible threat than all the actual violence that shows up on that dumpster fire of a site.
The good people left Facebook a long time ago. I would even argue before the place was taken over by boomers.
I think ultimately, it was the share functionality that ruined Facebook, because it was once the place where you keep up with your friends, but then the genuineness of it is gone after you realize they only see their friends as a captive audience to get likes and get a boost for their Farmvilles.
It’s a dehumanizing place, which is why it became a wasteland.
I distinctly remember back in 2010 right before I deleted my Facebook, everytime I logged in I would get depressed and sad.
Almost everyone I know still has Facebook, but no one actually posts on it. Personally I only really use messenger (which they just killed, coincidentally).
What’s this about messenger? I still have it because of that one friend who won’t move.
They are getting rid of the android app at least, presumably to force people back to facebook as they slowly starve. Website still works
Do it, make the community. I’d subscribe. This post got lots of traction. There’s an audience.
