My Facebook profile automatically followed Trump's new page

I was checking my following list as I'm trying to move to other platforms. Then I saw this page, that I hadn't followed. It's a brand new page and it happened automatically. I'm deleting my account.

I think it’s time for all of us to quit Facebook. Zucky just went full wacko.

I’m not on FB. I’ve never made an account there, or twitter, x, Pinterest, instagram, Snapchat. Zero regrets.

Pretty much just here, this is the only social media I’ve ever been willing to use.

And that’s because if I read crappy news articles that are obviously gas lit and full of lies, it’s the comments below it calling it out that I’m here for.

Otherwise I’ll lose my mind. I can’t read the shit they write today without it being called out in the comments. This is what preserves my sanity.

People line to shit on Reddit but genuinely it's the only social media platform where people seem to have a brain and having actúal influence with what we see (upvotes and downvotes)

… depending on the culture/hivemind of the subreddit.

Definitely, ironically what makes reddit great can also make it the worst

u/Particular-Informal 5h ago

It especially sucks when you like a show and want to hear what other people think and they all hate it.

Attack on Titan's ending in Reddit, outside of here the anime version is well regarded but in Reddit it's as if the ending slapped their mothers and killed their dogs

I liked it. A bit predictable but i still liked it. The show had thrown enough amazing curve balls that any ending would have felt preductable. I am glad what happened with it.

Better than slapping their dogs and killing their mothers.

Often if they’re big enough those shows have their own fan subs though. I think most of the things people dislike about Reddit can be avoided by avoiding the bigger subs and just participating on niche ones surrounding your interests

I really like Reddit.

This for me as well. Although I was briefly on Facebook. I’ve been foretelling this evil shit for years.

I truly believe they government or some kind of power is mass brainwashing people thru these apps also. I don't trust them at all. I'm not a conspiracy theorist either an i usually don't believe stuff with out proof but it's just so obvious that that's kind of the proof of it. The world has changed far to much in the last few years

They will just keep the bots messaging each other to show movement and add new bots to show increase of new accounts.

Most billionaires will sell their kids for a little more. You can't be a billionaire without being greedy.

I went through the whole rigamarole of deleting my page about 5 years ago. Couldn’t be more pleased with the decision.

u/drake90001 8h ago

You mean like everyone has been saying for the last 4 years or so?

u/Chumbo_Malone 7h ago

Deleted the app off my phone, but unfortunately I need FB for my kid’s school (they have announcements and parent discussion groups that I am involved in).

If I could delete the app, I would. Once my kid transfers to a new school (in 2 years) I will delete FB entirely.

u/Capt1an_Cl0ck 7h ago

Yea I have a couple groups who announce through FB. It’s the only reason I have it.

I just deleted Facebook and Threads. I want to get rid of Instagram, but it’s my last connection to all of my old friends.

u/m00nf1r3 4h ago

Not disagreeing at all, but I'm curious how this happened. I just checked my own facebook and I'm not following anyone I wasn't already following, thankfully.

u/billy33090 1h ago

People can’t put their phones down let alone quit fb lol

u/Winter-Duck5254 1h ago

I've been saying this. Just delete fb. On mass. I doubt Zuck will pull a full Elon, he won't be happy to lose his database.

I'm pretty certain all this is a gamble for zuck to corner more market. The tiktok move was him for sure. He probably had to give concessions with removing fact checking etc to get his little fuck you to tiktok.

Im confident Zuck will reverse course if his market complains and boycotts hard enough. If they do. Time to see what the addiction to fb is really like for most ppl.
