The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Zuckerberg reportedly decided to do away with censorship mechanisms at Meta after a seemingly innocuous photo that he posted on Facebook in November 2023 about the surgery that was performed on his left anterior cruciate ligament failed to go viral,

pathetic

My virtues are signaling over here

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 89 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He looks more and more like a cult leader every day.

I recently commented somewhere that the more Elon Musk leans into MAGA the more he looks like a Sith lord and the affliction appears to be hitting Mark Zuckerberg too lately.

Always two there are. The Master, and the Apprentice.

Says the guy who suddenly started hitting all the typical shithead slogans and talking point as soon as it seemed beneficial.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 day ago

Right? Wasn't he super busy with "de-lizarding" and trying to be the cool friendly billionaire? That took a turn quickly lmao.

Eat turds Zuck

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I signaled that virtue a very, very long time ago.

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 day ago

I've been boycotting Facebook since before it was cool.

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

I did mine like ten years ago.

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 35 points 1 day ago

It's called being a political consumer, you dipshit

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I'm not sure if this headline meets the criteria for not the onion.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 46 points 1 day ago

"vote with your wallet and you can affect a corporation!"

Also:

"Fuck you, I'm entitled to your participation (your data) or you're a virtue signaler leftist baby."

I wish I wasn't an atheist, at least I'd have some comfort in knowing pieces of shit get what they deserve. Instead they just become billionaires and live amazing lives.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Yes, we are. You are still losing users.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's weird to realize I would wait in line for like 45 minutes up piss on Zuckerberg's grave, should the legal opportunity ever arise.

Just a thought for his next of kin to consider, in due time...

Mark Zuckerberg the chicken fucker?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ostrich fucker. Allegedly….

[–] ladytaters@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I heard it was a sick ostrich.

Justice for Ollie! That poor fucking bird...

I'm just trying to save his neutered business from my feminine energy.

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

As opposed to signalling that you have none.

“Meta has us in a chokehold. They make money off our presence in order to continue to be in business and yet it’s too difficult for people to leave,” Makichen wrote.

Difficult? How? I'm pretty sure I still have an account on Facebook from it's early days, but I haven't logged in to it in more than a decade. Friends and family can reach me in other ways, like email or better yet a phone call.

They are talking about their business. The massage place I go to is primarily thru Facebook. They have their own site but it was easier to just request a appointment.

Many businesses have dead websites now, as all the visibility is just through Facebook and Google Maps.

It’s very different than Twitter, where most business use (outside of influencers and influence campaigns) amounts to status updates that can be given elsewhere.

I don't know, sounds like he's just virtue signaling to me.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

His AI is picking from random internet phrases to see if it unlocks a reward function.

[–] LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 1 day ago

ROFL I’m signaling the virtue of my privacy kept safe by escaping Meta and not being on a platform hosted by a deranged billionaire. 🤣

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 day ago

Even if they are, they still have fucking virtues, unlike your robotic ass, Zuck.

[–] kbal@fedia.io 22 points 1 day ago

Sorry Zuck, but "virtue" is not the message all those people making hand gestures at you are trying to signal.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

Yes, now tell me the problem with that

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder what he would say about me never having used Facebook. or any of his other "services"?
