    Just so you all know the New York Post is a Rupert Murdoch (same person who owns Fox News) rag. According to Wikipedia it wasn’t profitable from 1976 to 2022 perhaps even loosing up to $70 million a year. The reason why he ran it at a loss for so long is for influence. Prior to Murdoch’s acquisition the “Post was seen to have liberal tilt, supporting trade unions and social welfare”. Now it’s a conservative trash rag.

    Please use another source if you can.

    People in the US care far too much about some possible badmouthing. Did Mark Zuckerberg call me a virtue signaller? I dont care. Zuckerberg is creepy as hell. Did some zionist genocider call me an anti-semite? yeah I dont care about their opinion on that either. Did some republican say democrats are weak on some issue? Who cares. All they do is lie and talk stupid all day long.

    We all need to stop caring about what people we dont respect think or say about us.

    I quit a long time ago without even meaning to.

    There was just less and less content to keep me interested while more ads and “recommendations” kept taking their place. At some point I was just forcing myself to open the app each day and just stopped.

    If an app, website, or game won’t respect my time, why should I give it any?

      Im so thankful I have been off of it for over 10 years. I had a username that was not my real name and they blocked my account and asked for a photo of my drivers license….

      So glad that happened, I don’t even miss it.

      Sociopaths are the only people qualified for the C-suite. The problem isn’t that the wrong people are getting positions high up. It’s that the structure of corporationa is designed for that.

      In a competitive poorly regulated capitalist economy that’s driven by bottom lines and dividends, I’m pretty sure being a narcissistic sociopath is a prereq for the C suite

    What we really need is everyone to suddenly quit at once.

    It needs to happen so fast there is no time to sell off the bleeding stocks

      There is a plan going around over on TikTok that everyone should delete their Meta accounts on the 19th (when the TikTok ban goes into effect). We’ll see how many actually do it, but so far it’s fascinating to watch.

    Why would a billionaire resort to name calling random people ?

    Ooooh … his wealth and power is threatened.

    “Being virtuous is virtue signaling.”

    Ok. How about go fuck yourself Mark. Am I vice signaling enough for you now?

    No, zucky-fuck. Pretending to care about your users and acting a certain way while you do the opposite to get a small-handed fat orange gremlin back into office is virtue signaling.

    I forgot that not being part of a platform that just changed its rules to openly allow and advocate for hate speech toward trans people is virtue signaling.

    Sorry that I want trans people to live without harassment and have human rights, I guess. What a virtue signaling asshole I am.
