After the #lightsoutmeta protest, I thought everyone with some common sense would join #fediverse Was I wrong about humanity. The vast majority didn't move a dime and couldn't care at all.
We're half a year later, Bluesky hasn't made Flashes available on Android, yet. The momentum is over.

I logged off Meta on Jan. 20 and haven’t been back. #LightsOutMeta

What is the best image-sharing platform now? I'm a sailing artist, I've got pics to share!
I'm leaving Instagram and all Meta (though it's giving me a hard time, saying my passwords are wrong one day and then working the next day). #lightsoutmeta #artist #sailing

Since getting off all things META over a full month ago (official shut-down was on Feb. 25th! 🎉), I’ve had alot more face-to-face coffee & lunch sitdowns w/ friends & co-workers. Physical toasting & verbally catching-up w/ pals ‘trumps’ profile/post scans ANY day! ✊🏼☕️🌅🤓 #lightsoutmeta

So it's been more than a month since #LightsOutMeta started and I still haven't logged back in... 🙂

Is Meta messing with me? I cant delete my accounts bc it says my password is wrong and will not a reset to my preferred email, rather it goes to a secondary email I haven’t used in 10+yrs. I posted several times telling followers to find me elsewhere. Anyone else having this problem? #LightsOutMeta

Bye Meta. Fuck Zuck. Don't let his nazi, narcissistic, anything for profit metastasis get you! Zuckerberg is like a growing cancer in society and human relationships.

It's done. I just quit Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp, thus stopped contributing to this neonazi in disguise.

Of course I'm loosing some friends and acquaintances but I'd rather stick to my values.

#QuitMeta #LightsOutMeta

I already quit X-TWITTER a few years ago. Also, quitting SPOTIFY...

Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect ...

Finished #LightsOutMeta. Was fantastic! I missed my friends and some of the content but overall it reminded me that all is OK to not see all the feeds. Life continues! Read this and protect yourself! #privacy www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

I just completed a week logged out of all Meta products. #lightsoutmeta My screen time dropped by 78%, and I’m considering staying logged off a bit longer. There’s so much else to explore and do.

I definitely haven’t logged into or even visited FB since I learned about #lightsoutmeta on Monday 1/20 but my chrome app on iOS is convinced otherwise.

Now that the #LightsOutMeta week is officially over, who else is not in a rush to turn things back on?

#lightsoutmeta
Analytics firms say 2% of active facebook users logged off. 2% of 2.11 Billion is 42.2 Million.
That's a lotta ads that did not have engagement.
Thank you!

I am on day 7️⃣ of #LightsOutMeta | I am happier that I am not getting my fix on of #DoomScrolling when you find yourself glazing into the black mirror. Catch you on the flip side Zuck.

One whole week of #lightsoutmeta has been a bit harder than I expected but definitely worth the effort. I'm spending more time on #bluesky as a result.

Gladly removed all Meta apps because of so many reasons. RARELY used Facebook account was suspended by Meta for sharing #lightsoutmeta with R.E.M.

Someone told me that MySpace still exists and now I’m semi obsessed with tracking my old account down but I used my college email address to sign up 😭 #bringbackmyspace #myspace #lightsoutmeta

#lightsoutmeta päättyy huomisen jälkeen. Alussa oli outoa, mutta enää ei tunnu niin kamalalta. Ehkä ei tarvitse roikkua somessa jatkossa niin paljoa.

Love this week out of Meta, I think I can make it a bit longer 😎 #lightsoutmeta

Good morning. Skimming the news updates here and saying a lot of F*ck that!!!! Off FB, IG (and all the other time sucking apps) for almost a week and it really has been great. I will pop back on but looking to rebuild my social networks by other means. I wonder how many people did #LightsOutMeta?

Tell Meta: Reinstate Protections for Women, LGBTQ+ People, Black and Brown People on Your Platforms NOW!

Sooo the #lightsoutmeta thing. How’s it going? What are the numbers showing?
