January 9, 2025 - I have officially left Facebook; deleted my account.
I had been on the fence about leaving the platform since November, 6 2024, the day after the election, when Mark Zuckerberg ("Zuck", rhymes with "Fuck) decided he had to donate $1M to the Trump Inauguration fund. My stomach began to churn. Last week, it was announced that Meta/Facebook had begun using AI generated accounts and bots to "generate content that would be of interest to the users!", followed by this weeks declaration by FZuck that Facebook will no longer provide fact checking; instead relying MAGA "Average Joe's to govern the content!"
I don't need to welcome that vector into my life. Account deleted. I do not feel smug or self-righteous, just... relieved.
Hopefully, I can make something of this blog. We'll see.
