I’m not, but it’s very hard to reconnect with people. I have dealt with depression and also just really genuinely dislike Facebook because of their ridiculous bans and content moderation policies. The problem is, there isn’t another large monopoly in town.
I really wish the government would say that any social media platform with over 1,000,000 users has to let someone speak with a human prior to a ban and the ban reasons have to be clearly stated.
Violations of this could result in tax revenue.
Any state could do this to get tax revenue, because Facebook is so arrogant they would likely not comply right away. All these conservatives who were banned, many of them for ridiculous reasons like saying “covid came from a lab” instead of from a bat, would love to tax the hell out of a California company for being this way. I wish some law-maker would do this. It’s out of control.
Things like Truth Social offer an alternative, but only for conservatives and many people still want to connect with people on Facebook. Things like Mastodon are often so niche that I can’t easily find the people I’ve met in life to say hi.
I wish the government would do things to stop these horrible annoyances in society. This stuff could be regulated when it comes to large companies that have the resources to comply. Facebook was smart and basically bribed the Republican party to not come after it by changing content moderation policies and giving millions to Trump, and it’s unfortunate that they will probably not make any regulatory changes to improve this problem. Democrats certainly won’t do anything because they are slow and rarely do anything ever, and they had many years to address this, and other problems.
