    Billionaires have mental illness and have negatively affected me and society as a whole more than any gay or trans person ever could.

      Immense wealth is not compatible with the moral life. It’s also not compatible with Christianity, but I don’t think any of them truly care about religion. The drive for greed should be a mental illness, especially when it’s at the cost of empathy.

      Yup, and if you reported it as hate speech they’d review it and say it doesn’t go against community guidelines.

        And then YOU get banned for “abusing the report feature”.

        Reported a blatantly bigoted post saying that all gays should be burnt alive and I got a 30 day account suspension.

      It’s just they’re updating their terms now that Trump is in power. Hate started to rise since the beginning of GenAI on the platform, I highly suspect due to the backlash from socially progressive people against it, and techbros didn’t appreciate that. They’re going mask off now after the elections.

        Yeah the left wants things that actually hinder the oligarchs, the right wants to complain about them but will settle for people they don’t like being hurt. Tech companies understand that.

        There’s also the fact that the bay area has spent quite a while having the sort of people who love to treat equal rights as a thought exercise

      The problem with western oligarchs is that they rarely step foot on public land …so it’s really hard to track their schedules let alone get a shoot shot off.

    They put Dana White who heads the UFC on the board, all because Zuckerberg did Jujitsu… Jujitsu and the UFC has stange political affiliations to chechen forces Putin sometimes employs.

    They’re a hyper masculine male traditionalist culture. So it all ties back into that BS.

    They call it “Sportswashing” - using Jujitsu to slide extremist politics onto someone. Zuckerberg fell tor it hook line and sinker. Libertarian to pro Russia pipeline. Anti-woke fascism in practice.

    What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to give the kid who ate rocks at recess for attention an international platform. Hmm?

      Is this a meme I don’t know?

      Zuck is extraordinarily intelligent. You don’t get into Harvard as a non legacy eating rocks.

      Nor did anyone give it to him. He took it by cheating the partners that made Facebook grow in it’s early years.

        You’re correct in the second half though. It doesn’t take brains to steal, see November 5 2024.

          C’mon now. Don’t do that. Be better than that.

          What we have to understand, and accept is that the election was not stolen. It exists in a broken system where only a handful of states actually have votes that matter. And this time, those states willingly voted for trump. Texas was never going to vote for any democrat. California was never going to vote for any republican.

          The few states that mattered, namely PA, voted trump.

          It sucks, but thats what happened. You can’t just call fraud because you don’t like the gerrymandering and the oppressed voting. Those are issues to address in the years BEFORE the election. Start addressing them now for 2028.

    FB won’t even do anything about the constant bombardment of scammer profiles that hit you if you post on any public group. They are always some attractive woman (stolen pics probably) with a profile that is a few months old and 1-2 posts at best. They always have the same message “I saw your profile pic! Friend me!” or some such crap.

    ?? If you go through insta reels and comments you will encounter a metric called “n words / minute”, I don’t think meta cared about moderation at any point
