you cant block the AI, but if you start hatebanging it, i assume it will block you.
I got a multi week ban for breaking metas rules when I told its AI to uh fornicate with itself, go somewhere else and then cease living.

#22You can block all their content, just delete your account.
I deleted all my meta accounts a couple years ago (Facebook, Instagram). When I did it I was afraid I would miss out. Nope: 5 years after I feel good about not being a dopamine-addicted sheep (At least to Meta). It makes me sick to my stomach whenever I go to a public place and see so many people mindlessly losing their life watching reels and stories full of ads. I Used to take the Caltrain and I estimate >50% of th…
I deleted my Facebook account years ago. Recently I tried to make a new one in order to get access to the WhatsApp API to use it for my business, and I just get banned right after the account is created. I'm not sure why, but I guess they don't need my money.

What does your social life look like? Because the reality for me is that in any major city, a significant number of places - even if they technically have websites - post all of their events and happenings on Instagram/FB.
Sure, I can talk to my close friends on any number of IM platforms, but if I want to get out and have new experiences, join club meetups, be notified of events at venues I care about, etc. - it's Meta or miss out.

#24AI features are so good, you're forced to use them whether you chose to or not. I guess the reason is to justify all of this datacenter buildout because the "demand" is so high?

#26I tried threads but had to leave it so quickly. All the posts I see are just baits, people trying to say controversial/stupid things just to seek attention and reaction. I don't know much about social media algorithms, but if the result is that I'm constantly fed with things I don't want to see, maybe it's not the platform I want to be in.
It's like someone tried to make 2020s Twitter without white supremacy but didn't understand that 2020s Twitter is worthless even without that.

Yeah the instagram posting is such a complete BS. I have a bogus instagram account where I don't follow anyone for the couple times a year I need to find set times for an artist or that kind of stuff.
We need to shame artists/events/clubs that only post on Instagram

Go to clubs and check the events from ra.co. Go to concerts and art galleries they all have web pages. Berlin, Germany
Or dice in NYC.
Most venues and places are slowly going away from closed gardens.

They are? Honestly, first time hearing about this. I've noticed only big events get posted outside of the IG/etc. Even in Tokyo, a simple thing like checking if a place is open on a public holiday is to check their Instagram.
