Did zuck say anything relevant to the market in the past 10+years?

It's a provocation but I'm also kinda curious, with the level of information and consulting he has access to he must be choosing the topics he is relevant about?

Don’t threaten me with a good time, Mark.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago

It's shitty ass hats like zuck that makes me appreciate Lemmy even more. Its the right amount of social media for me.

Bye guys, guess none of us are really here

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

I think, therefore I am.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 weeks ago

Good. Social media was only ever the corporate commodified communications platforms.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago

"your honor, in my defense my website sucks. like really sucks. like try using it for a good purpose. it is inherently evil."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

Well I say Mark Zuckerberg is over.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah I wonder who could possibly be responsible for that... Tis a mystery

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 weeks ago

So you going to shut down Facebook right Mark? Right Mark?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Hahaha, not a fast learner... Own it bro, FB is over...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

Clearly the solution is to spread more conspiracy theories. People are obviously leaving due to the lack of conspiracy theories.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

Has been for a while. If you look at most recent marketing analysis, numbers weren’t like they were peak pandemic and 2016. It was declining since then, you just chilling with bots mostly.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 weeks ago

I would probably think that too if I ran Facebook.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago

Thought this was a press release thing... Like: Social media is dead... Now it's "Meta-media" dabs as crowd collectively faints

[–] [email protected] 53 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Has been over for a while. Unless you call ads social media. It’s all ads.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 weeks ago

Right. They got greedy and made it more shitty for profit. Users left and now its one of these free weekly papers with ads and classified ads. Now they are considering filling the gap of missing user content with AI so it will be a circular system without humans at one point.

So he's trying to declare Game Over to avoid accountability? Fuck that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

probably also somehow related to theads being federated

It's such an easy fix too. Create a separate wall that only contains your friends' OC (not reshared garbage).

It's about 3 posts per day for someone with 200 friends, but I'd take it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You actually can nearly do that. Facebook inexplicably showed me how a few weeks ago. If a friend reshares something, you'll see it, but it removes all groups, etc. It was stunning how little content actually comes from friends.

On the Facebook site (I'm sure it can be done via app, too, but I didn't look), click on the menu near the top right, then click Feeds (under Social). Then click on Friends on the left.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Wow, is does. Thanks for that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Too late for that. We have TikTok now. Everyone needs a new dopamine hit every 3 seconds and god forbid you run out of new things in your feed.

The era of social media IS over. Even if you make a good one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

check out the Fediverse...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm here. Ain't no billions of people rushing to join us.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Not necessarily a bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Agree. Lemmy doesn't need to have as many users as other platforms to be good.

If ppl can't understand what's so good about Lemmy then they are just suckers who deserve to be taken advantage of by corporations.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

So... original, unshittified Facebook?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

I wonder if a fediverse version of that would resonate with any of my friends and family. Seems like we are where we started with forums, just strangers respectfully taking about their common interests. Social media is indeed dead.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm amazed that's not what FB still is. I apparently bailed before the worst of it because I don't recall seeing random people's posts on my feed.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

Last time I logged into Facebook I noticed a lot of the recommends included feeds of attractive women. I mean, I like women with gyatts, butt clearly their algos have been fine tuned on what kind of content they serve: sexual content and alt-right garbage

I miss the good old days when it was just updates from friends.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 4 weeks ago

He should know, he fucking killed it

[–] [email protected] 46 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

"Social media is dead, and we killed it."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Killed it, as in they were awesome and won, or as in unalived. The quote by itself could mean either.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

"How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us?"
