Meta is Mad at EU. A Guide To Leave a Toxic Relationship - Ecu Radio

It's now been six weeks since I started writing those Buy European bulletins. And now, with Meta's frankly infantile reaction to the fine issued by the European Commission over their breaching of the Digital Markets Act, the time has come to tackle their services directly. Today, we’re learning how to leave Meta, how to leave Facebook, how to leave Instagram, and ultimately, how to leave a toxic relationship that, for many, has brought nothing but misery and decay.

  • Instead of Facebook use Friendica!

    Instead of Instagram use Pixelfed!

    Instead of Marketplace use Flohmarkt!

    Instead of WhatsApp use Matrix!

    Instead of Rapid use JOSM!

    • The problem as usual is that you're tied by the other people in the place, i cannot leave whatsapp as not only my family but pretty much everybody i know uses it as their main communications platform, no one actually gives a shit about the software or platform but all remain because they cannot leave behind other people.

      Same issue with FB/IG, people stay because their whole social contacts stay. If something happened that made everybody leave at the same time there would be no issues, OR if the walls of the walled gardens were torn down so that people could freely leave without losing contact.

      About the only realistic way to abandon these platforms is to leave and just accept losing contact with people, which is a gamble that doesn't always pay, most of the time you just end up isolating yourself from others.
