Today I posted a picture of a stamp with an animal in it and they said the picture contained nudity and made me take it down, but I reported a photo of a guy with a fully visible swastika tattoo and they said that’s fine.
I’d like to start a Lemmy community with photos of stuff that they refuse to remove called FacebookSaysItsFine.
Years ago I noticed a picture my niece had liked that was a couple of her friends jumping on their bed in only underwear. The girls were probably 11 or 12 so I reported it as inappropriate. A few days later Facebook replied to my request that the pictures were not against the TOS. I couldn’t fuckin believe that. I encouraged my niece to suggest that the pictures be removed before a pervert found them. That was what finally worked but I suspect those girls probably thought I was the pervert.
You’re a good uncle. Facebook literally said a picture of a woman’s coochie was fine to me once last month.
Why so much anger? Just stop using it. Apathy is better than anger.
I can’t even remember when I logged into fb last.
Deleted my account about 10 years ago. At times it was hard, but every time I hear about some new crazy shit they’re doing I can’t help but think I did great.
Got you beat by 1 year :) Deleted my account in 2012 when they changed their terms of use to own rights to everything you upload. And I had never used my real name to begin with.
I hate that an important tool that we could use for simple socialization and sharing of interests is instead in the hands of people who want to sow disinformation and right wing propaganda. To me, making Nazis ostracized is a value we should all share.
I think only baby boomers are using facebook now. None of my friends are on fb hence the conclusion.
Facebook market place has completely broken and laid waste to all of its competitors. Every woman with kids I know is using it to buy and sell and give away children stuff.
not in Ireland. Adverts.ie rules the day here, thank god.
Freecycle.org is also still active in most places.
People will go where the stuff is. So, when I have anything of value, I take it to anywhere but Facebook, cause, ya know, you gotta put stuff in the other places
Kijiji is still putting up a good fight but I always wonder what I’m missing on marketplace.
With the US being the shit show it is, I’m looking into leaving and Ireland is on my list of possibilities
you can dm me if you’re serious and want visa advice
I promise you plenty of other people are using it lol.
Can we see that smoking hot stamp in question?
Lemmy isn’t letting me upload it for some reason, but it’s this: https://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.usps.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fbuy-stamps%2Fred-fox-stamps-S_122104%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1Ui6EykBS3E2n0ftoVG9Hylj8r3Vzh7oK_dnfGQiBHbc9OdS99bvaN0SE&h=AT16qe653DHQhshQHPkFZVpaJYoIXezguSvYZ0YtAO08MqETl69WeevVVJlMct2n4DhuakPxMLZlEGO-WMTup1E2utcVuUaaRljwsvU_ewTVQqYIst9iLE5N6zgWW3jlyA
It’s a running joke between my friends. I am in a bunch of sovereign citizen groups because they’re so entertaining and crazy, and we are trying to convince them all that they need fox stamps on all their bonkers correspondence to be official, just for the laughs.
Your link didn’t work for me. You might try uploading it to imgur and then sharing that link. In the meantime I’m looking at image search results for “Fox stamp” and wondering which one is the smuttiest.
Does this work? https://imgur.com/a/28WGVD6
Pretty smoking hot right?
She’s a stone cold fox.
Seriously they tried to ban me for a fox head.
Delete your account.
Reach out to the people you only talk to through Facebook and give them your contact information.
It’ll be awkward and you might lose some people, but every person who quits makes it easier for everyone else to quit. Quitting is better for your health and happiness.

I find it hard because it’s where I’m in contact with all of my old Livejournal friends from across the world, and it’s the platform where we can talk to each other still. That’s why.
Orr…you can give them your phone number, email address or start a group chat. You don’t NEED to use Facebook. You could literally message them saying something like “Facebook is trash, you can reach me here.” Not that hard.
Yeah you don’t even need whatsapp(which is also Facebook). I wish more and more people knew about phone link which is installed on every pc. You can just use it like messenger. There’s also Skype. Then You can have a temp phone number in which you don’t have to worry about giving out and someone stealing your passwords to things.
They probably value their friendship over the ideological stance of “Facebook bad”.
That is quite the pickle… they want the downfall of the platform they share with their friends, but don’t want to leave that platform.
Too bad there is absolutely no other way that OP can stay in contact with those people. There’s nothing that can be done. /s
I hate listening to voicemails but I also love my grandparents, you know?
I’d rather use my Facebook groups than Kik to plan swinger events, 100 times out of 100. Kik is so shitty it’s unreal.
There’s really no alternative to FB for what I use it for, since swinger sites are hot garbage and a lot of swingers are all over the map in terms of age. And again, Kik is terrible.

It i literally the reason I’m on Facebook, so I commented.
I don’t care what you think is cringe and I am quite happy with my life, thanks.
I’m not out here proselytizing non-monogamy man. Not sure why you’re being shitty, unless this is some kind of bit you’re doing? Matches your username.
It’s not the same and you know it. I have the same issue with Instagram. Many of our interactions through the platform come from us reacting to each other’s content (posts, stories, comments). Without that you lose a lot of “spontaneous” interaction.
Question is: How much does spontaneous interaction contribute to your life.
For me I found, it’s not much more than a regular, short dopamine rush and lock-in in a certain bubble. Do I know a lot less about people? Sure. Do I miss something in my life? Hell no. That added peace is invaluable and a telephone call from time to time is much better.
That’s a fair question.
Usually not much, so I have too started to log in far less frequently. However, as an example, I did get in touch once again with an old friend thanks to it (and we are still in touch), so it did help quite a bit in that regard. But I understand your point and I have been thinking about leaving the platform anyway due to all the privacy shitshow.
get in touch once again with an old friend
we all had this moment but at this time, it’s unlikely any old friends will join FB/Instagram that haven’t already.
Can we not abandon facebook to be reclaimed by nature? I haven’t been on that site in years
It’ll be overrun with broken links to terrible fake news and Minions memes as it slowly rots into the earth.
“I hate Facebook”
Why Would You Say Something So Controversial Yet So Brave?
I like the initiative, but isn’t facebook basically dying? As far as I know it’s only corporations, nazis and qanons left. Even the boomers started leaving. I might be wrong though. It’s been a while since I cared to check on facebook.
All in all that would make a great source for bad photo’s
My social circle (aside from me) use it for event planning and marketplace
I don’t know that it’s dying but still it’s a force of evil and I’d like to fight back.
What a hot take
Yes
I have a couple of reasons I still use Facebook, although I don’t like it at all: My brother, who lives on the other side of the country, has ASD and the only two ways I could stay in touch with him is on Quora, where he only wants to stay on-topic, or Facebook. And I’m at least an hour’s drive away from most of the people I know, so it’s also one of the only ways I keep in touch with them, because they apparently don’t have the problem with Facebook I do.
That said, I block every ad even though I have to do it manually, and I don’t join any groups, other than a couple that I just read for the comic strips, or argue with strangers. I keep my Facebook use to a minimum, essentially.
Edit: I take that back. I didn’t block the ad for the build-your-own wooden hurdy-gurdy kit. How could I?
Lol how could you?
Is he willing to use Discord? We created a channel for our family and it’s perfect for communicating with a select group of people.
Discord is even worse than Facebook in terms of usability. It can’t be indexed by search engines at all. F that noise
Nope. He wants what he knows and nothing else.
The good people left Facebook a long time ago. I would even argue before the place was taken over by boomers.
I think ultimately, it was the share functionality that ruined Facebook, because it was once the place where you keep up with your friends, but then the genuineness of it is gone after you realize they only see their friends as a captive audience to get likes and get a boost for their Farmvilles.
It’s a dehumanizing place, which is why it became a wasteland.
Almost everyone I know still has Facebook, but no one actually posts on it. Personally I only really use messenger (which they just killed, coincidentally).
What’s this about messenger? I still have it because of that one friend who won’t move.
They are getting rid of the android app at least, presumably to force people back to facebook as they slowly starve. Website still works
After that whole palaver of them breaking it on the mobile site on purpose to get us to install Messenger in the first place?!
FML.
I distinctly remember back in 2010 right before I deleted my Facebook, everytime I logged in I would get depressed and sad.
I had to cut it out because it put me in a bad mood all the time
Facebook was pretty nifty when it first started and wasn’t evil. It was fun to connect with people from high school I’d never see again otherwise. I’ve restarted some great relationships that way. It’s really unfortunate what trash it turned into.
I kind of like that idea, do we have any Twitter users here to do something like that too?
Can we feed chunks of reddit into it too?
We should probably make a universal one along the lines of “fine with silicon valley” o something!
Oh please Twitter should be fed to the sharks.
Absolutely, I would still like to have a collection of their garbage moderation to point to tho, well if people cut out all the CSAM that is!
Ugh. I would love to stop using it but I need it for school. My college regularly posts information on Facebook groups instead of its own websites and I need Messenger for communication/group work in college.
That would compel me to switch schools
That’s impossible to avoid actually. That’s how all colleges in my country work and generally that’s how life works. Facebook is massive here and Messenger is the most popular instant messaging app among the youth.
Well now I’m very curious: what country are you in?
Not the person you’re talking to but I’m in the UK and went back to uni as an adult in 2018. Literally had to install Messenger because it was the only thing the kids used, for the entire duration of our degree. Completely blew my mind!
I’m in South East Asia (won’t reveal more for privacy reasons). Facebook is really popular here.
That’s concerning. Do people seem bothered by this?
WhatsApp is massive in Asia, except China. They have Wechat over there.
No, no one cares. I’m the weird/paranoid one for being weary of data collection by tech companies.
