I mean… I wasn’t expecting this to not happen eventually… I’m just surprised it happened so quickly, and that Meta has done nothing in terms of mitigation - and moreover, didn’t see this as a thing they’d need to guard against out of the gates (unless, I suppose, this isn’t intended to be a Twitter clone, and it’s more shooting for being a Parler clone).
There’s probably a lesson somewhere in there about the benefits of growing your userbase organically instead of trying to force-march users over by creating shadow accounts, but applying that lesson would be unprofitable, so Meta definitely won’t care.
I am confused. Where did I give you the impression that I was a fan of Meta?
I’m not disagreeing with you. They’re a psychotic, metastasized, late stage capitalism total surveillance nightmare. Everything they touch gets corrupted.

Meta is about ad dollars. That’s all.
Meta is about user data monetization which includes - but is absolutely not limited to - ad sales and targeting.
Meta is about collecting your ID and SSN as well. Facebook’s spying is way more invasive than any other service in the world.
You really want people to be policing everything everyone says everywhere?
Wtf are you on about
Meta doesn’t just want to collect your browsing data, they also want your government issued ID and your social security number.
I’m not kidding, that’s how they “verify” people
