Just delete your account, stop using it.

What a hot take

Can we not abandon facebook to be reclaimed by nature? I haven’t been on that site in years

I kind of like that idea, do we have any Twitter users here to do something like that too?

Why so much anger? Just stop using it. Apathy is better than anger.

I can’t even remember when I logged into fb last.

A few years ago, someone my daughter knew from school was posting pictures of her cuts from self harm on Instagram. I reported it to instagram but they didn’t do anything about it.

Ugh. I would love to stop using it but I need it for school. My college regularly posts information on Facebook groups instead of its own websites and I need Messenger for communication/group work in college.

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

I had similar situation with facebook. In a discussion, I posted a single comment about election results with numbers, percentages and a link to official governmental website containing that very same data, with attached screenshot of it for lazy ones. Facebook informed me that the comment violates spam rules and will be removed. No edit possibility, no peace talks, just removed. At the same time there are profiles loaded with hate speech, bigotry, racism and disinformation for years, and no automod, no algorithm was triggered.

That moment I sad fuck your algorithms, fuck your data, fuck your website, I can live without it. Just pulled the plug and deleted the account. I don’t need that hate-machine to keep in touch with my friends. And as long as people says ‘but my friends are there’, facebook will continue to roll hatred fueling algorithms and never change. No mockery, no subreddits or lemmy communities will change it, but every user less - may lead to a change, or better, a downfall.

Just delete the account.

edit: and try to watch the social dilemma documentary.

Years ago I noticed a picture my niece had liked that was a couple of her friends jumping on their bed in only underwear. The girls were probably 11 or 12 so I reported it as inappropriate. A few days later Facebook replied to my request that the pictures were not against the TOS. I couldn’t fuckin believe that. I encouraged my niece to suggest that the pictures be removed before a pervert found them. That was what finally worked but I suspect those girls probably thought I was the pervert.

Do it, make the community. I’d subscribe. This post got lots of traction. There’s an audience.

I’d like to start a Lemmy community with photos of stuff that they refuse to remove called FacebookSaysItsFine.

I get why you feel this way, but this feels a little superfluous. Like, making that community will never, ever change how Facebook does business, we’re not going to shame them into being better by cataloging the terrible shit they allow. In other words, all we’re doing is choosing to make a forum filled with the horrible, hate-filled posts that Facebook says are okay. I’m honestly more comfortable just leaving them on Facebook and not posting the same vile garbage here to make fun of it, because I don’t think it will change anything other than a history of hateful posts on Lemmy.

We can make fun of how much they suck without bringing their awfulness and putting it on display over here, especially when doing that isn’t gonna change a damn thing. Facebook has the “fuck you” money to ignore it.

Zuckerberg is going to end up trying to become the king of Hawaii.

So let me get this straight: your image of an animal is blocked due to some dumb bug- so the appropriate response is to post an image of some dude with a swastika?

Let me ask you: what would you do if you broke an arm? I am curious to see your train of thought.
