Meta moderation was a dumpster fire before this, I can only imagine how bad it's going to get.

Currently they have blatant misinformation everywhere posted as real news, people read the stuff and believe it fully. It should be illegal - people are just too stupid to know Facebook is just a modern tabloid magazine.

Years ago I reported the same account for bullying the same person, every time FB came back saying “no issues found”. The site is fucked, and blatantly has been so for years. But it was recently pointed out to me it has been since the start. He’s not a nice guy.

Tabloid magazine? ... it's more like scribbled pieces of paper written by random strangers on the sidewalk ... people keep reading the crap and walk away happy that their worst beliefs have just been confirmed by 100 random strangers with scribbled pieces of paper who told them so.

Corporate fediverse isnt true fediverse

Yeah, when my Lemmy server goes down I don’t want it to be because of a large scale cyber attack, I want it to be because some dude’s dog got the zoomies in the basement and tripped on a cable.

Damn! If only someone could've predicted that Meta would eventually do something stupid like this! If only we had defederated from them from the start /s

But nobody could have seen that coming! /s

That’s my secret, Captain, I’m always defederated from corporate social media.
