quote [ This essay explores the ways Facebook transforms our attention into a product, and how that transformation changes us. It then proposes a social media strike as a concrete strategy to reclaim our attention, and finally lists many reasons why we should all quit Facebook. ]

Of course we should quit Facebook. We're not going to, though.

It's obviously not an option for everyone else, but i've begun automating and somewhat scheduling my social media. Facebook is work for me, but it's still fucking addictive and makes me vulnerable to exploitation.

Deleted my account a while ago (for what it’s worth anyway with facebook), can’t say I’ve missed it.

The interesting thing is that the "cyber outlaws" don't seem to be too concerned. So like where we had Chanology and the wikileak defending DDOSes, there doesn't seem to be any sort of actual backlash from the masses despite them essentially being under attack.

I quit about 2 months ago when I read that Musk would buy facebook just to shut it down. I decided that I wanted the effects of that early.
Then again, I don't have twitter, instagram, or snapchat either. I just use messaging apps to talk to my friends and family. |
