No.

No. We shouldn't trust him with anything. Including his own wealth.

LOL if someone opens any chat with me first, I just block them. 100% chance it's spam

We estimate the effect of social media Facebook and Instagram deactivation

FTFY.

Now that I've been on Lemmy (and other federated social media) for a few years it has become abundantly clear that not all social media is created equal.

The big social media platforms are designed and activity manipulated in order to stress you out and keep you engaged. Federated social media is much more organic and doesn't have that problem.

I mean, it can still stress you out but not in the same way. For example, every cruel dumpster fire that comes out of Republican governance stresses me out but that's the news. It'd stress me out even if I heard it from NPR.

Whereas if I read that same news from Facebook I'll also get to read racist high school classmate's take and see my own family members "liking" and "loving" similar hateful messages. Facebook will then notice how "engaged" I became when I reply pointing out how wrong they are (with lots of references/links to reality) and fill my feed with more stressful garbage that reminds me just how much many of the people I know are complete shit human beings.

So yeah, just a bit different 🤣

I want to see a similar study done on people who regularly read/post to LinkedIn. Firstly, so I can find out, "who TF even are these people‽" And secondly, to find out if they were insane before they started doing that or if LinkedIn pushed them over the edge.

That's less than 1/5.
Also take into account the hand rotation.

Ever since the Musk thing, this thing comes to my mind whenever I raise my hand to check the the AC's air.
Hell of a brain-worm.

Bill Gates won the desktop OS war by copying and buying everyone else too. Fuckerberg's approach may be lame but it'll probably make him richer than going it the hard way.

He's making one-fifth of a nazi salute in that thumbnail pic.

He stole that idea.

He had one idea. Everything since has been purchased or stolen.

Wasn't that what he did with facebook back in the days, too?

I’m glad I have a spare phone without photos.

Was it even one inch underneath? I thought we'd known for a long time that he was pretty fashy.

That's the facebook guy. I thought it was the twitter guy for a second there.

Social Media propaganda is literally destroying democracy worldwide, right in front of our eyes. And with AI it's only going to get worse. I don't know what we can do because through their influence on the US government the billionaires will defend this global influence to the end.

I see a lot in common between Musk and Zuck. They're losers who stole and conned their way to the top of the pyramid, are alone and desperately want the people to like them, all the while doing all they can to hurt that same people. There's a psychiatric can of worms to be untangled somewhere.

The Bonnfire of the Vanities

I love that this lame PR blitz is basically him trying to get his people to play up that he was always an asshole (which is true, though not in the way they mean) and everything else was just an act so that daddy Trump will like him.
