Walled gardens, man…

Beauty! Spring can’t come soon enough.

The sooner people get off Meta platforms, the better. Like many of us, I’ve had to keep my Facebook and Instagram accounts because it’s the only way I can contact some people and it fucking sucks; they won’t email, or use a messenger like Signal or Telegram, or even SMS. As someone who saw firsthand the rather quick implosion of multiple early social media sites, like MySpace, it is bloody annoying how Meta not only won’t die, but is still popular. The lack of news sharing on Facebook did, however, get a few people I know to branch out from the Meta bubble so, anecdotally, I don’t think it’s wise negotiating to make Facebook more usable.
