Meta And Me – I Can’t Quit Anything From There

Meta is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, What’s App, and Threads. I am on all three platforms and I won’t be dropping any of them. I rely upon Facebook to keep up with family, friends, and other stuff I am interested in. Threads, the Twitter replacement is a great place of connection and communication. I stay connected to pro wrestling there. Instagram has a purpose for visual expression and communication.

Yes, Meta’s chief Mark Zuckerberg’s business and ethical dealings are very suspect. We have seen what he has done in eliminating fact-checking and DEI initiatives. Sure some of his decisions are disappointing. The platforms his company has created are vital for many to keep in touch. Sure I can moderate my usage and tweak the settings so that I won’t bothered with stuff I don’t want to see.

Until someone can create a viable replacement with the same social reach as Facebook then I won’t be leaving. Nor will I leave Instagram or Threads. Hopefully, in the coming years, we will have that option.

Facebook Is Glitching

It appears Facebook is having some problems today. The glitch is affecting Instagram and Threads too. MySpace here’s your opening.

A Funeral For An “X” Friend Named Twitter

After the recent news that Elon Musk would move Twitter to a paid platform, I decided to delete my Twitter account today. To tell you the truth I should have done it sooner. It was bittersweet because I have been on X/Twitter for a long time. My thinking is that it will die sooner rather than later. I also don’t want something like that hanging around because I don’t know what will happen to the things I have done there. So I am pronouncing @tonyburgess1969 on Twitter digitally dead. Rest In Peace, Twitter.

I am on Threads which is getting better all the time. Check me out there.

Threads Has Finally Hit The Desktop

The new Threads social platform from Meta/Facebook/Instagram has hit the desktop so you can access it from a browser on your PC or Laptop. I believe this is what a lot of people were waiting for before fully adopting this new service and possibly replacing its rival X/Twitter. I am using it on my phone but It should be easier to post using my computer.

Farewell Twitter, Elon Ruined You

I made the decision to leave Twitter. Well, I’m leaving until things improve there. Elon Musk has destroyed something fun and good on the Web. His decision-making is suspect at best as it comes to something outside his wheelhouse. I don’t think I will return anytime soon though. I am on the newly popular app Threads which seems to be growing quickly. You are welcome to follow me there at @tonyburgess1969. I hope to see you there.

Threads From Meta/Facebook #Threads

So Facebook/Meta/Instagram has launched a rival to Twitter called Threads. I hope this will be a success if anything there needs to be some competition in the small blog space. If you want to follow me please feel free to.
