I've had a running battle with FB - I post truthful articles, they ban them if they don't fit their narrative. Tonight they banned me for 7 days because I dared to post truth about several issues. So I'm through with FB and encourage all to drop them and cause their following to shrink rapidly.
I did this last October/November. It was tough for about 3 minutes, but I quickly got over it, and recovered about 3 hours of my daily life each day!
Sounds like you need to be... Re-focused.
My brother takes great pride in being placed in Fakebook jail...
He even has a picture of himself outside of a jail cell with a drink in his hand for after he gets out...
Hell, have some fun with it...
What’s Fakebook?
Put me in the NO Facebook category. I don’t think I’ve missed a thing over the years.
I quite long before that.
You’re really late to the game on this one. You been sleeping for 20 years, Rip Van Facebook?
Is there another alternative to facebook?
What took you so long?
Some are using MeWe, but I don’t think it has caught on. Someone will come up with something soon. GETTR is more like Twitter but actually getting to be a lot better.
I’m banned for 30 days for posting a painting of the crucifixion of Jesus. They said it was too violent.
At least, I think that’s why I got canned. They said I violated their standards and that picture is the only thing I see when I open the app, along with the warning it’s too violent.
MeWe has an almost identical format. But not as many of my friends spend time on MeWe. They have accounts, bilirubin not much activity.
There is a FreeRepublic group.
I stopped using it the day after the election.
It’s still active, just not used.
Not sure how to completely delete it.
Good for you. I keep it because it is the major way me and much of my spread out family remain in touch with each other.
The other nice thing it the FB marketplace is a great place to sell and buy things.
I post political stuff all the time, and don’t give a crap. I never buy anything from their ads, so no revenue from me.
I encouraged you to drop it a year ago.
So now you’re telling me to encourage people to drop it?
Have you not understood your addiction to it? It’s been beating on our side for years, and yet now you’re personally affected so you want to spread the word?
I’m glad you’re off, but you’ve got balls.
You don’t wait for it to personally affect you before declaring bad. Facebook hasn’t done anything to me. I quit before it could.
See what this stuff is doing to others. Now welcome to the resistance.
I never joined, never went directly to Twitter, but through items that were posted here, I read some things, and am seriously sorry I even did that.
Does Twitter, or Facebook (another site to which I never went) charge monthly or yearly to use their service?
I never joined it. Being in touch with friends and family is great, but Facebook is a double-edged sword. I will NEVER have a Facebook account.
Having said THAT, I do admit to having a Twitter account I don’t post there
but I DO use it for information
FB banned me permanently a couple months ago for “suspicious activity,” whatever that is supposed to mean. I’m living just fine without Fakebook.
I think MeWe is Chinese...
“5 mins ago I got another 30 day sentence for saying that Zuckerberg is a traitor who needs to hang.”
Lmfao...what did you expect?
Man these posts suggesting a mass retreat and surrendering in the face of corporate fascism always amuse me...if you cant handle some grief on the internet...what will yall do in face of real incoming rounds?
What part of “we dont want your kind here” dont you get?
Which is the specific reason I refuse to comply...
Political memes are the modern day equivalent of Thomas Paines commen sense pamphlets...a picture with words...and they trigger the hell out of the left...
I take great delight that a multi billion dollar tech giant with an army of programmers cant keep me off their servers...cant silence me...cant keep me from figuring out new ways to fool their AI so the bots ignore what I post as background noise...
Facebook bots are only as smart as their programmers...they program bots to use the same tools that meme generators use...so the bot can unpack the text and compare it to a list of banned phrases or words...
But there are other ways to produce images that can be read by the human eye...that appear to a bot as random pixels and are ignored...if there is no text to unpack and analyze...the bot sees no text...
Yeah they eventually catch up...or a human catches one my posts...and I get banned..
So what?
I like the challenge...I like making my friends laugh and triggering liberals..
And I like the notion that a library billionaire has possibly seen my name in a memo...
They dont have to ban you if you run away.
...hardly praiseworthy IMHO.
