This is terrifying - they are gonna come for us 😭 it’s the gods damned 40s all over again I realize I have huge fucking privilege that Sock and I can “pass” or stealth as a cishet couple I’m scared y’all I don’t know if I should remove my gender and sexual orientation markers from my profiles…
It’s horrible and Meta as a whole is about to become Twitter 2.0 🤢 I’m deleting Facebook because it’s a cesspool already, and idk about ig yet :/ I’m so sorry, sending love, stay safe 💜
Argh this fucking sucks. And I hate it here so I think I'll be off social media
If you are anywhere near Vegas I'll train you in firearms, for free.
Thanks - I took four or five years of competition shooting as a teen and got pretty good at it - I also own a few hunting rifles
Sweet! I hope you are sharing your knowledge with others! Remember John Brown! Viva Luigi!
Gun culture is very different here in Canada I’m not sure there is space for that here 🤔
Sorry. As a USAsshole, I naturally assume everyone is one of us. You are probably not in direct danger like many of my local friends.
Not an asshole at all, not yet, it’s safe for now but Canada is on its own train wreck and an election is probably closer than we anticipated 😑
So, I did a deep dive on this quote, just to make sure I understood all the ramifications. This quote is from a CNN article with THEIR interpretation of the updates to meta's "hateful conduct policy". CNN refers to a Wired article that was the first to report the updates. (Sorry this is so long) 1/5
This is CNN's article: www.cnn.com/2025/01/07/t... 2/5
This is the Wired article: www.wired.com/story/meta-i... 3/5
This is the meta's "Hateful Speech" policy: transparency.meta.com/policies/com... 4/5
And FB press release about getting rid of fact-checkers and changing to a model from the app that is most-definitely-NOT-Bluesky. about.fb.com/news/2025/01... 5/5
This is good to know
If you need one, I have a hug available. We’re going to be okay. I have the same privilege, but I’m not gonna hide who I am. My recent visits with my granddad have been enough to tell me that I shouldn’t hide it.
Thank you so much - I don’t want to hide but the C-PTSD survival instincts kick in real hard and the “ I’m in danger” voice goes off in my head so loud 😳
I know that very thing. I’ve been dealing with it moment by moment. Sometimes I’m ready for a fight, sometimes I’m just wanting to cower. But remember, we’re magic, and that is something they can’t take away.
You are so right - moment by moment - we have each other and that is SO important 🫂
Why I've left Facebook, Instagram and threads for bluesky. 🐦 We need to go forwards not backwards. ❤️
on the other hand I want to be a damn beacon for all my alphabet mafia fam too I’m so damn torn and so damned scared Why the FUCK do I do
Meta isn't worth it anymore
