Just walk away, no one needs Facebook and they will wither and die if they continue to ban half their user base

I think there are still patriots organizing there... it is an effective tool as demonstrated by the car rallies and boat rallies that are mostly spread on fakebook...

The act of understanding these big tech overlords are businesses, and then boycotting their business, is the only real way to expect change or a better replacement to enter the market

The way you boycott Facebook and Twitter is that you stop using them. It's hard to build a competing business welcome to conservatives, especially when you get deplatformed by payment processors, can't find big corporate advertisers, and can get banned by hosting companies.

If it is really about "comms" they cannot rely on social media. Set up your own website / private forum.

They aren't for-profit businesses. Their value is beyond money.

Newspapers have historically lost money too, going back to yellow journalism. The value in a newspaper is setting the agenda to be profitable for other businesses.

their currency is userbase / interactions and denying that will dis-empower them directly

I know several older boomers who are sharing the shit out of our memes on FB still. It is making a difference.

^ this is the answer. Facebook is not, and never has been reality or necessary. You’ll feel so much better once you unplug.

Walk away - find a good alternative - problem solved.

It is just a business that sells a really crappy product. Why the fuck do people still use that crappy product, and then insist on bitching all the time about how crappy it is?

Repeal their section 230 protections so they get sued out of existence - absolutely... but in the meantime just walk away already.

Fackbuk and twater were shoved down our throats for years by msm, you were made to feel if you didn't have it you were missing out and it was the de facto new way that people were going to communicate. I'll get all extra smug, and say that I smelled a rat and never joined either of those platforms

Baofeng does not make HF radio. Barely usable for 2m/70cm. For a widespread networks using your baofeng though, build an allstar node..folks can connect up like a party line with their nodes. A sort of VOIP with Radio. Or we can re-establish the old packet radio across the nation--coast to coast bulletin board--imagine that. Used to exist. before the internet. N6XXX

Got licensed last month and got 3 Maofengs that I haven't even had time to program yet. Been too busy setting up other gear, but the radios may become a priority.

Watch yer top-knot everyone.

Have radios. Have yet to mess with them out of fear of fucking something up.

Facebook just did your friends a favor. Get them over to GAB; we need a free-speech critical mass site!

I feel like once anything rises to a top spot, censorship will be inevitable

I was permabanned about 3 months ago for simply posting about HCQ and QAnon. It happened days before my wedding that I planned on streaming via FB for my family and friends that weren’t able to attend due to COVID restrictions.

Fuck these sick Chicom cocksuckers.

No longer peer to peer, it's all cloud based now. Easily hacked.

I am very vocal about my support for Trump and my disdain for commies and my account was suspended on Wednesday for an absolutely stupid reason. I said Chrissy Teigen was an attention whore for posting pictures of herself on social media, right after she lost her baby Boom! 30 day ban. Appeal denied.

They did the same to me and I just create a new one even more MAGA’d out and added even more people.
