People jumping ship from Twitter for this thinking they're going to be treated any better are probably in line for a nasty surprise.

Since FB this spring deleted my account since 16 years for no reason (that they would say) I have to my surprise experienced a kind of freedom, a calm serenity. After the initial feeling of being insulted and shut out from my circle of friends and family through no fault of mine I have gradually come to realize a few things: 1. there are other, better ways to stay in contact with with people I care about than through…

Facebook is a glorified address book. The things we value the most on there are our connections, which is something we've always managed to do before the internet. People clutching their pearls on social media need to stop.

I still can't believe it's app-only, that there's no desktop version. I refuse to wall off parts of the internet into silos that I have to enter through downloadable portals.

All other platforms allow users to block ads and other malware on its platform. iOS is the only one that is actively anti-hacker. That's the difference.

Meta will nuke your Instagram account for basically anything, including for no reason at all. I have like 50 followers, 10 photos, and check my IG once every week or two - haven't posted anything in months. Meta has banned me twice for unspecified policy violations (both times I had to send them a selfie and got reinstated, and there was no way to ask a human what these policies were). I suspect they'll ban/unban me…

+1 they told me I could only unban by adding a mobile number, which I have no interest in giving them. It's fine! Certainly not a service I'd rely on.
