I’ve been a social media hermit for the past 3 years but recently I’ve given up and created a few accounts across different apps again. It’s unreal how strict the requirements are now.

  1. Give e-mail (ok)
  2. Give phone number (… eeh, ok)
  3. Use the new account for a while
  4. Account suspended, please upload selfie to continue (no thanks xi). There are also some verification promps where you have to record a video and rotate your face left to right

If this isn’t a message to move to indie web I don’t know what is

    Not any of our problems; if you willfully work for Meta after everything that has come out about them, you’re a scab against the people and shouldn’t be regarded past that point. Fuck should I care about techbros who wouldn’t know solidarity if it popped out of a manhole and blew a new hole in their ass for?

      I doubt those people even know they work for Meta. They probably work at an agency which does this for multiple services, not only Facebook and they probably have that job because they can’t get a better one. It isn’t even unheard of for this to be done by kidnapped people in captivity. Sending provoking material doesn’t do anything meaningful other than make those peoples’ day worse, and chances are it’s already pretty close to hell on earth.

      WTF‽ They are trying to stay alive, not murder your parents!

      Do you think they are well paid or something? If you have an income, they likely earn 100 times less or something.

      Seriously what the fuck is wrong with users on some instances?

        Still not my problem; my man you should not be talking about jobs and who holds 'em when Amerika is looking at a job shortage because of all the offshoring. I said what I said with my whole chest; if you work for them in any form, facility, or function, or uplift those who do, I consider you an opp

          when Amerika is looking at a job shortage because of all the offshoring.

          Ahahaha no there’s not! I work for a national company and we have hundreds of jobs we struggle to fill.

          Even if you look at the data for manufacturing, the most infamously offshored sector there’s consistently more job openings than hirings
