My brother said we are going to look back at social media the way we do cigarette smoking.
We didn’t know how harmful it was, probably was lied about how harmful it was (or lied about it not being harmful) and some people will still use it knowing the risk because they are addicted to it.
Getting carved out of the Northern Idaho market really has to hit Zuck right where he lives:
Social Media. It’s toasted.
Damn I don’t think my brother would get the reference. Well done.
I removed facebook from my phone and my usage has gone way way down. I occasionally check in on browser, but never stay more than a few minutes.
Ive been reading more books which is great, but spending more time here, so theres a bit of substitution going on.
I’ve notice the threads with a lot of bickering about non issues (about moderation comes to kind) kind of gives me my FB/Twitter fix. I just scroll the comments of people arguing.
That doesnt do it for me. I mainly want to dunk on deplorables and/or watch friends prank each other.
Drake nope: ban white supremacist hate speech
Drake yep: ban bossy
I added a Chrome extension to limit my time on FB to 10 minutes so I don’t argue with morons or see their garbage, then a band I love starts a free livestream on their page so I have to cancel it. @(&%$(@&$@(
My Brother in Law. Keep in mind he’s been a government contractor for 40 years. Oh and I’m not friends with him on Facebook yet I can see his posts.
Shut mine off today, 30 day for full deletion but I won’t be coming back this time.
Wasn’t sure about messengers to use with my kids but then I remembered they all know how to use discord so I set up a couple more accounts and good to go.
I deleted the app a month ago.
The only problem now is that the trump threads here are quiet.
What am i supposed to do with my phone time now?
Try the chess thread and install lichess on your phone. Its basically infinite time suck if you want it to be.
The takeover by the robots will have its bumps for sure.
