![]() I am genuinely glad for you that a hobby is the thing that keeps you reliant on Facebook. Projects in some of my specialized hobby areas will likely mean total abandonment may not be possible Posted by I_Love_Bananas at 6:23 PM on Septem But I sort of don't mind that there's now yet another good reason for staying away from it.Īnd of course others may love Facebook and if so, more power to you. I regret the data breach, and hope for as little negative impact as possible to anyone affected. a wasteland of fakery and desperation, wrapped in a tortilla of intolerance, deep-fried in a vat of misery. I just had yet another set of married friends who were poster-child Facebook lovebirds to the Nth degree announce their impending divorce. I doubt I'm the only one who feels that way, but still. And the fact that every single time I go on Facebook, I end up feeling worse than I did before, is kind of hard to explain. I usually end up having to explain myself to someone. I know I don't have to explain myself to anyone, but. I hate that my choices place me in the position of managing the uncertain reactions of friends who can't accept that I think Facebook is the devil. ![]() It feels more like a mandate than anything else. I even hate the word SHARE with a disproportionate level of animosity. ![]() I resent what feels increasingly like omnipresent pressure to SHARE EVERYTHING. I think a lot about The Beforetime, when social media didn't exist, and yet people still somehow managed to live their lives. I plan to really try to abandon it fully, but projects in some of my specialized hobby areas will likely mean total abandonment may not be possible. Since like 6 months ago, I go on Facebook maybe once a week. I've begun to really love this exact thought. It's OK to not know everything about everybody all the time. Posted by We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese at 12:29 PM on Septem What was said was specifically: don't worry about replacing it, just leave. I don't know anyone who'd rather stay on Shitty Facebook than migrate to Unshitty Facebook. Giving people an appealing and unproblematic alternative is one thing. ![]() *The lack of an adequate replacement is really the key. It does no good to assume laziness, stupidity, or malice before confirming that this demonstrably problematic service might actually mean something to people. People simply won't tend to do that, even in the service of very high and important ideals. Especially when the message is telling them to abandon critical social connections - either physically, through moving, or virtually. My point is only that telling people to cut out an important part of their lives, while offering them no adequate replacement,* is not terribly effective. I've literally been using facebook all day, and have used it to conduct 7 distinct conversations in addition to posting a meme.does that count? posted by filthy light thief at 11:29 AM on Septem The Facebook founder has also previously had his Twitter and Pinterest accounts breached by notorious hacker group OurMine. Back in 2013, it refused to reward Khalil Shreateh - a systems information expert from Palestine - for hacking into Zuck's account and posting an Enrique Iglesias video on the wall of one of his college friends. Neither is the company keen on paying out bounties to people who test vulnerabilities against real users. But considering all the setbacks it's currently facing - including the departure of Instagram's founders and its ongoing fake news crisis - it probably doesn't want to deal with a high-profile hack right now. "I'm just bored and try to dabble so that I can earn some money." Facebook, like other tech giants, dishes out cash to cyber-security experts who point out flaws in its system as part of a bug bounty program. "I don't want to be a proper hacker, and I don't even want to be a hacker at all," Chang said in a recent post. ![]() That hacker is Taiwanese white-hat hacker Chang Chi-yuan, per another Engadget article. Per Engadget: "Spokespeople for the company were unable to confirm if this data breach was in any way related to a hacker's threats to delete Mark Zuckerberg's account on a livestream from earlier in the day." ![]()
