As of today I am officially leaving all Meta platforms (yes including Facebook that everyone makes excuses for using like Marketplace and Facebook groups). Meta was a sponsor of yesterday's shitshow UFC Freedom 250 ring fight. Their name was on the floor of the octagon.
Not only that but Mark Zuckerberg was there in the audience and watched the UFC fight. And probably saw when that guy yelled in the mic that Michelle Obama is a man.
Words can't describe just how much I hate Meta. I feel so enraged. I'm ashamed I even joined Threads and Instagram in the first place. Time to leave and focus on other platforms like Tumblr and Pinterest. Maybe YouTube but not sure. Never again. NEVER AGAIN.

TikTokâs tech issues abound as censorship fears drive users to delete app.
It's time to get off of TikTok TrumpTok.
TikTok wants users to believe that errors blocking uploads of anti-ICE videos or direct messages mentioning Jeffrey Epstein are due to technical errorsânot the platform seemingly shifting to censor content critical of Donald Trump after he hand-picked the US owners who took over the app last week.
However, experts say that TikTok usersâ censorship fears are justified, whether the bugs are to blame or not.
Ioana Literat, an associate professor of technology, media, and learning at Teachers College, Columbia University, has studied TikTokâs politics since the app first shot to popularity in the US in 2018. She told Ars that âusersâ fears are absolutely justifiedâ and explained why the âbugsâ explanation is âinsufficient.â
âEven if these are technical glitches, the pattern of whatâs being suppressed reveals something significant,â Literat told Ars.
âWhen your âbugâ consistently affects anti-Trump content, Epstein references, and anti-ICE videos, youâre looking at either spectacular coincidence or systems that have been designedâwhether intentionally or through embedded biasesâto flag and suppress specific political content.â
Why do you think Trump was so eager to have TikTok American owned? What he was really angling to do is get it MAGA owned.
Some users are already choosing to leave TikTok. A quick glance at the TikTok subreddit shows many users grieving while vowing to delete the app, Literat pointed out, though some are reportedly struggling to delete accounts due to technical issues. Even with some users blocked from abandoning their accounts, however, âthe daily average of TikTok uninstalls are up nearly 150 percent in the last five days compared to the last three months,â data analysis firm Sensor Tower told CNN.

TikTok USDS likely wants to distance itself from Trumpâs comments about making the app more MAGA. But new owners have deep ties with Trump, including Larry Ellison, the chief technology officer of Oracle, whom some critics suggest has benefited more than anyone else from Trumpâs presidency. Greene noted that Trumpâs son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is a key investor in Silver Lake. Both firms now have a 15 percent stake in the TikTok USDS joint venture, as well as MGX, which also seems to have Trump ties. CNBC reported MGX used the Trump family cryptocurrency, World Liberty Financial, to invest $2 billion in Binance shortly before Trump pardoned Binanceâs CEO from money laundering charges, which some viewed as a possible quid pro quo.
Get off of ALL Trump broligarch platforms. Don't bore me with lame excuses why you are still there. You are supporting MAGA just by being on Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, and now TikTok.
