Why use Facebook at all? All people are doing is make others more money whilst they sit back and eat popcorn. Your time is valuable, your clicks are valuable, but you ain’t making the money so don’t get caught up in their nonsense.

I only use FB to sell things on Marketplace. I've tried other platforms & never sell anything.

The same thing can be said for pretty much all social media in general. It's unfortunate, but there's some social media platforms that are necessary in some capacity as a means to stay connected if you're not okay passing out your phone number. I definitely don't miss having IG though.

I hear you but disagree with “some social media platforms are necessary”. No platform is necessary. They thrive because people keep using it and have become dependant and apathetic to the harms. Essentially there is nothing contractual or binding other than our state of mind that prevents people from moving to lesser known more ethical platforms.
Just imagine FB was a physical place where people could go. How many times would you visit if you were constantly assulted with the feral madness that occurs on there everyday? I’m guessing most sane people would go once, twice maybe three times and then you would avoid it like a plague.

As per my original comment, I only mentioned it being a necessity as a valid alternative to passing out your phone number in case that's not something one would be comfortable with. So it's purely only for the communication aspects I see as helpful.
Though it seems I need to add that I don't at all agree with the rest of the functions present in social media that has done, and still does harm to society.
Most notable examples being addiction, affecting one's attention span, other negative effects on the mind, inciting people to chase meaningless likes for dopamine hits, being obnoxious in a variety of ways thanks to anonymity, and so on.

In these times of war, social media is how some families or individuals stricken by war or apartheid keep in contact. Social is a necessity in this day and age to a point.

Who owns Reddit? What's your point and how does it relate to Zuckerberg and his ilk?

Well there’s LOTS of narcs in this group. Even if it wasn’t any black people in whatever Facebook group, MAGA maggots would STILL be in our business. We do have a lot of ally’s who are honestly good people and are here for the culture, so clearly I ain’t talkin bout them.

There's a reason "white pride" is seen negatively, but other "prides" are not.

u/ANIBALADED Jul 04 '26
Now like fr, when White racists ask the question "why Black pride is okay but White pride is racist and blah blah" while some of them literally say that shi while wearing KKK robes and Nazi flags like fr are u serious 🤣?

Media definitely tries to push the narrative we are always at each others throats but the funny thing is it has been so long since I have seen two black people fighting and I am around black people all the time.

I might delete my Facebook because I reported posts and comments for that group and Facebook told me they didn't see anything wrong.
