#2Virtue signaling heavily laden with Trump derangement syndrome.
Thinks Twitter failing to discipline President Trump because he violated the don't-threaten-people policy over North Korean missile launches is a grave double standard.
Not a quality article.

#3Personally, I enjoyed the article but I felt bombarded by the suggested links as I was reading... the very slight , light blue highlighting should be enough for most readers to just gloss over, but I couldn't help myself with at least hovering over the group of words to see what is the site that's been linked. Made it difficult for me to take in the piece in it's entirety; I'll definitely be keeping this experience in mind next time I write.

#4Quit Facebook a long time ago despite being a huge fan and promoter (lol) in the early days (even used lastname@facebook.com seriously when email addresses launched) – it's not that difficult to do. Same with LinkedIn, love the occasional mild shock when people find out I'm not using either.
South Park is spot on as usual. “Who invited Mark Zuckerberg to town in the first place?”

#5"A facebook account was closed." Headline suggested to me someone resigning from the company. The latter is more interesting.
Many people have closed their facebook accounts, it's not a big deal, you just announce you're going to do it, get whatever contact details you don't have from connections then do it. Others never opened one. Life is fine without facebook, if you feel you want to close your account, do it. Footage at 11.

#6There are less drastic options. I'm still on facebook but unsubscribed from all feeds. As a result there's almost nothing but ads on my news feed so I'm not really tempted to go there anymore. I also don't post anything there. Still, I keep my account "just in case" and I do use messenger a lot though.
I have the feeling facebook is slowly dying, but I'm probably wrongly generalizing my own experience (is this called a "false consensus bias"?)

Trump derangement syndrome.
I'm keen to understand what you mean by this, in context.

#8Meh. You'll be back on soon enough.

#9People like that cannot live without ranting and validating themselves externally. Please go back to facebook before you explode intto every other online platform.
Re: I Quit Facebook
#10An ambiguous title, came in expecting this to be about someone quitting his job at Facebook.
Which you absolutely should do if you work there. Facebook has an obligation to its shareholders to maximize its profits, which (possibly) means its strategy of monopolizing everyone's social identity is a valid one (though hopefully it could be mitigated through anti-monopoly laws, see the recent trend in the EU).
But no talented programmer has an obligation to help Facebook fulfill their strategy. If you care about freedom, don't help its opponents.
