All the fuck_[thing] communities are full of rabid fools who have zero understanding of how to successfully evangelize a political cause to those who don’t already agree with them.
Thank you, I just got banned from fuckai, even though I hate AI… For correcting people in saying that Facebook is not useless, evidenced by the fact that there are over a billion users.
I guess if every comment isn’t not jumping up and down on the let’s hate AI trampoline, you need to leave I guess.
Once again, I hate ai, but that’s not the point, a billion other people use Facebook and it’s therefore not useless. Too controversial an opinion for the clown mod.

They act like they’re having conversations but they aren’t; What they want to do is continually talk about the way they feel. It’s fucking exhausting because it requires that you ignore facts to prioritize validating fee fees

All good! But for what it’s worth, Facebook is useless for people who don’t use / like it, and useful for those who do; but regardless of the utility of their products, they have an abhorrent human rights record, a delusional executive team, and fascist goals. Also, Zuckerberg doesn’t have enough money because he’ll never have enough money, putting him in the parasite class.
“Careless People” by Sarah Wynn Williams should be required reading for anyone interested in interacting with Meta’s products. I wouldn’t ever ban arguments or users in favour of Facebook’s utility; but I’d counter that even its regular users suffer harms by its use, even if they do keep coming back like gamblers to a slot machine, desperate for a dopamine fix.

Yes but I don’t really need to hear all the counterpoints, I’m well aware of them, Facebook is not useless. There is no service on the planet that has a billion users that is useless. Period.
The rest of the discussion is just masturbating feels and vibes.

I wouldn’t call human rights abuses “masturbating feels and vibes”, but you do you.
