Charging Triceratops

(441 posts) Tue Jan 21, 2025, 06:26 PM Jan 21

I did it. I left the rancid sewer known as Facebook. Forever. [View all]

Maybe the endless chain of suggestions of what foul right-wing shitstorm I should follow was the last straw. Maybe it was Zuckerberg's making everyone follow the felon-47 White House. Maybe it was the Kid Rock picture they forced upon my page. Whatever.

I left! And I feel free and intellectually reborn because of it.

Fuck Facebook all to hell.
