Demeta

I kind of wanted to make a collection post of all the how to demeta posts here, but figured it'd be too passive-aggressive of me. Glad to see I'm not the only one here who is not a big fan of the "Meta does something bad again" news articles. (Then why am I here? I unsubscribed but this still shows up in my Local feed.)

I suppose they are relevant and on-topic, given they might push someone in the middle of demetaing or considering it to actually finish or start the job, but… it feels more like preaching "let's get mad over Facebook's evils again!" to the choir. Then again, I imagine it's hard to sustain a community about demetaing with just factual information about how to do it, because the process does not change that much over time. And I am speaking as someone who's already been convinced that Facebook is bad, is a bit oversensitive, and has tried to curate outrage and "known bad company does something bad again" posts out of my feed (I do stay up to date with news… off of Lemmy), so that is probably heavily influencing my perspective towards that type of post.
