Yeah dude let’s just federate with an instance maintained by a corporation that has undoubtedly caused a genocide in Myanmar by turning a blind eye to a far-right hate speech group that caused an entire fucking minority to flee into another country.
I don’t get why people are supporting and saying “oh it must be up to the user” like bro this is the company we’re dealing with. Fuck that fuck threads fuck zuckerberg i don’t want his shit cancer near something that’s going well so far.
Imagine thinking Myanmar is facebooks fault. Wow.

I don’t know what version of reality you live in but i hope these articles are illuminating
I can't imagine why you are getting push back. I can tell you are very passionate in your position and are on the right side of a complicated issue. The only reason I can think of is your idea hasn't become mainstream yet and people hate it when they don't know they should be upset.
Either way I have no skin in it and I agree that meta is garbage. Thank you for be passionate about something in this dispassionate world.
:3
I'd imagine is because Myanmars situation is way more complicated than Facebook "undoubtedly caused a genocide".
Seems like it's getting trivialized to shit on Facebook
Facebook deserves every ounce of shit it has coming to them.
True.
But do you believe the actual people commiting the genocide and manipulating Facebook shouldn't be held accountable for their actions?
They don’t, they just really really hate social media. That’s why they’re here, after all.
🙄 I guess the years of violence well before hand we their fault too. Imagine trying to tie years off violence and genocide to Facebook.
It'll always be Burna to me.
It will always be ... a name that doesn't exist and has never existed?
(Hint: BURMA. It's hard to sound smart when you can't even get a single fucking name right! Especially the name that "it will always be" for you. Holy fucking shit!)
You wrote all that over an obvious typo? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
An "obvious" typo you missed when you wrote it. When you read it back after posting. In a post where you were putting on airs of being smarter than everybody.
I fucking love it when that happens and love to rub it in.
Lololol it's a typo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Screaming about typos in a comment 🤦♂️ peak reddit, oh I mean lemmy
That one is actually public record, with
Facebook using their influence to set up in the country in a way that made it the dominant form of internet access for the country, enough that a large number of people considered Facebook=internet
Facebook getting multiple reputable warnings about what was happening on the platform, what their advertising policies and algorithms were encouraging, and they chose to not act on them and instead continued to profit from it
They finally did act after a whole lot of harm was done
Their direct fault? No. But they sure as fuck share a lot of the blame in pouring gasoline on the fire.
Because it was totally and we have the receipts? Imagine being that ignorant of world events.
