MODERATORS
?? If you go through insta reels and comments you will encounter a metric called "n words / minute", I don't think meta cared about moderation at any point
They put Dana White who heads the UFC on the board, all because Zuckerberg did Jujitsu... Jujitsu and the UFC has stange political affiliations to chechen forces Putin sometimes employs.
They're a hyper masculine male traditionalist culture. So it all ties back into that BS.
They call it "Sportswashing" - using Jujitsu to slide extremist politics onto someone. Zuckerberg fell tor it hook line and sinker. Libertarian to pro Russia pipeline. Anti-woke fascism in practice.
As a MMA enjoyer, Dana White being put in charge of anything is fucking scary. He is an extremely evil and ruthless man. He is so open about treating fighters like complete shit saying "its better to keep them hungry because then they are more motivated to preform".
Dana is at the forefront of Saudi sportswashing and pushing right wing culture on young men. He hooked trump up with Nelk and got Trump infront of massive influencers and their audiences.
Hearing Zuck speak longform a few years ago I actually thought he was left leaning and a reasonable guy. But that was bullshit, the guys morals are about as strong as a wet paper bag.

I like how he went from the Caesar cut and bland shirt to the style of what current-day 16-20 year old guys are rockin.
And by "like," I mean that I'm glad he still looks uncanny despite how normal his new style is, because he's a POS and nobody should sympathize with him.

I feel conflicted. On one hand, people can regulate themselves, and Facebook becoming a bigoted cesspit may bring more people to a moderated Fediverse.
On the other hand, these major platforms having such user monopoly and influence can cause unfettered hate speech to breed violence.
I’m conflicted about the idea that an insidious for-profit megacorporation should be expected to uphold a moral responsibility to prevent violence; their failure to do so might be a necessary wake-up call that ultimately strips them of that problematic influence. Thoughts?

This has always been the case.
Billionaires have a mental illness
People are free to out themselves as ignorant on Meta. Technology is getting crazy.
So what I see is, Meta first creates the problem of trans-metaverse by super aggressive inorganic promotion and then makes it even worse by cutting the expenses on such useless promotion. XD
L for all those who fell for it. Society eats you up (not sexually, keep your pants on) for getting mentally manipulated so easily.
I left facebook after years of having meta not do anything about blatant transphobia and ableism that I reported to them. I got a death threat late last year and that was the final straw for me
Zuckerberg has mental illness.
