This Gives Me Even More Reasons Why Not To Use FB

F*ckbook has just announced new terms and policy to go into effect January 1, 2025

That's providing the world is still intact and you are alive.

6 communities I am involved with have left FB due to "real name policy" and 4 communities I am involved with have left (or never joined) FB due to booting people without reason and/or without recourse. Many of these groups were migrating to Instagram until FB/META bought Instagram.

yes, that has also been my experience
i do figure-drawing from live models for the past 15 years,
they are relatively modest, yet
if i post them on FB, they block them as "nudes" and therefore inappropriate
i am an artist and that is my main intention to share my work with others for commentary
i know i could change settings to a closed community page, meaning someone would have to inquire to join to gain access to the content,
but if they have no access to the content, how can they even know that option exists
"it's highly illogical captain" - spock

there is no place on social media that caters to that respectfully,
so i'm left to local community to share my works
whose opportunities have diminished even disappeared in the past 5 years
so go figure. FB, huh, what is it good for, like someone else said, cat videos

I used Facebook for a few months, but then their doofus owner made the remark about people reading the terms of service. That, on top of getting tired of cat videos, made me leave. LJ and DW are the only platforms I use.

ditto
i went back once and posted a poem i wrote on LJ, and received a notice the content was "unacceptable" according to their terms
i responded simply "F-you FB" and have only been there to post the new paintings of an artist friend
one of the things i don't like about FB and X, etc.
they require you to have an account simply to view content
other places allow you, even invite you, to view content
but understandingly you need to register an account to comment
some blogs, like LJ, still allow anonymous comments
but that leads to spam in the past, so there is no simple answer to this
