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.

You really want people to be policing everything everyone says everywhere?

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

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.
