My Escape from Meta

The current state of the country has me questioning what services I use and what business I will patronize. No company is perfect--and industry consolidation can make switching almost impossible--but few of us need Facebook.

There are many things to be annoyed with Facebook about:

Fake people/influencers

Feature bloat

Inconsistent moderation

Apps that hog resources

The algorithm

The final straw for me was the $25 million settlement paid to Trump. I think this and other similar "settlements" are just bribes to get what they want from the administration. I am avoiding other companies where I can for similar reasons. But as I said before, Facebook (and Meta) are easy to do away with.

I'll share how I've replaced Meta in a future post. If you've left Meta, let me know why you did it and how you replaced it, if at all.
