So as far as sensible personal practice vs Meta:
-
We can do our social media elsewhere, like we are here on Beehaw ✅
-
We can stop doing biz on Meta platforms and delete accounts ✅
-
Avoid Meta products like Quest VR (extremely easy bc trash) ✅
-
Avoid using Meta code (React) in our projects ✅
Any other good ideas I am missing?
*edit PS: A helpful thing for me to realize was that the people in my life who advocate the hardest for staying on Meta products are also the people who tacitly support all the horrible behavior of corpos and politicians. It is two sides of the same behavior.

This feels like the writing on the wall. When they won’t even pretend to support us anymore?
seems like the evil is out of the closet. lets not let them get away with it.
Are there no trans billionaires to object to being erased?
You don’t get to become any kind of LGBT+ billionaire by being open about it.
Tim Cook is gay. But that’s the easiest of the queer alphabet to be, tbh.
Also Peter Thiel (probably more important in this context as he the main supporter of JD Vance’s political career), and Sam Altman.
I doubt it was easy for him either, from what little I’ve understood of rich folks communities.
