@LnzyHou @lacuda Unfortunately that only helps the people who are smart enough to heed it. (Never had FB myself.)

But widespread misinformation affects more than the misinformed.

Regulate.

@S_r_stone @lacuda

Anyone still on FB is not interested in truth. It was a shit show of lies years ago when I deactivated. Why stay & bitch?

Same with X. Don’t bring that toxic mess over to CoSo & bitch. We know it’s a hell hole. That’s why we left.

@LnzyHou @lacuda It is a hellhole that needs to be regulated and held accountable for the damage to society.

One third of Americans use it as a "news" source. Scary, any way you think about it.
(Coincidentally, that number aligns with results for various conspiracy theory beliefs as well.)

@S_r_stone @lacuda

And knowing all that, folks still stay.

Mind-blowing

@LnzyHou @S_r_stone @lacuda I stay because I have lots of friends from the pre-Internet days on there and I know how to think critically. Click bait stands no chance against me and I've already filtered in trustworthy news sites. If you're careful (which I admit can be some work) you can get the algo working as originally intended and avoid the rage factory.

@hallmarc @S_r_stone @lacuda

I am unwilling to contribute to X numbers which equals Musk profit. Nothing about that platform is necessary in my life.

Absolutely nothing.

All I ask is don’t drag that toxic dump over here.

@LnzyHou @S_r_stone @lacuda I meant Facebook and I would never drag Shitter drama over here...

@LnzyHou @S_r_stone I just saw your response. I use that app because that's how I communicate with various family members as well as for work. It can't be helped. That said, there was no "bringing it over here" happening. My goal was to share to as many people as possible a reminder about the immense overreach that app is performing. One can be a patron of CoSo and still have a use or need for other platforms of communication as well. We don't gatekeep here like that.

@lacuda @S_r_stone

I’m not attempting to gatekeep.

I gave my opinion on a platform I experienced for years as one of hate, ignorance, racism, threats, misinformation, political manipulation by other countries etc.

I stand by my statement.

Feel free to block me.
