Better yet: why are we still using these platforms that think it's their right to dictate what we say? I deleted my Facebook account years ago and haven't missed it one bit.

Ah, the Ministry of Truth ... (but, um, SpankMeDaddy might be taken out of context ... )

Walk away from that hegemonic subversion. For now, VK is open.

I would love to help you, but I dumped Facebook, Twitter and Instagram several months ago. I did not have a large audience, so I totally understand staying on them as long as you can trying to reach people wherever you can.

A badge of honor!!!! Thank you for doing great work.

In 2013 or so, I wrote this funny poem called, "Facebook Prayer." At the time, I thought it was very witty. Little did we all know back then how bad it would get!!

Lord Facebook!

Please like me!

Please make me useful!

Please give me meaning!

Lord Facebook!

Absolve me!

Please make me feel good!

Please make me famous!

Lord Facebook!

Please guide me!

I need my bearings,

I’m lost without you!

Lord Facebook!

I love you.

Please don’t forsake me,

It’s you and I now.

When Zuckerborg's place was new, I was highly skeptical of it, in the years to come I was confirmed time and time again, and I'm still not going to get zucked, sorry ;)

I would but I am banned until the end of the month for discussing the failures of the Sputnik vaccine. In fact since Trump won the election I have been routinely banned. Then when it was Biden v. Trump my relentless mockery of the Democrats saw me banned for weeks at a time. After Covid my discussion of death dealing vaccines brought me further slaps. Detournment just don't come easy.

They are banning all of the medical freedom accounts in the run up to the FDA meetings on Feb. 15 and the ACIP meeting on Feb. 23. This is 100% about getting the Pfizer junk science shot approved for kids. It's racketeering and a crime against humanity.

I'm also in #FaucistBook jail, but I heard the clarion call to migrate at a Ron Paul conference when the statement, "If you're still on FaceBook you're doing something wrong, " was made. So, slowly I've been shifting to #Substack, #Telegram, #GETTR, etc., where the discussion is uncensored and the editing tools are much better than #FaucistBook.

I firmly believe that voting with our feet and $$'s makes all the difference in the world in our pursuit of happiness (the #CashBox has a silent language that compels.)

So yes, — I'm leaving a shared community of friends and interest groups, but I'm also abandoning an #AbusiveRelationship where there's no appeal to #opinions held by #FakeCheckers. Ironically #FaucistBook claims Section 230 protection whilst heavily censoring, editorializing, content!

In any case, if I can #boycott the grabbers & gropers at the #TSA for years, then I can adapt to a shift as I #deplatform and reestablish in a new community of thinkers.

Yours truly in crank skepticism, because the #PulpitBox to combat ½ truths & myths with reason & facts is as important as the #CashBox, mani malagón

Ah. Will do! In 4 days....

As I'm coming off of a 30 day ban! From sharing scientific articles (like yours) and bullying (all I did was voice hope that traitors like Trudeau were 'hung')!!!

Love your work!

Thanking you from the Hermit Kingdom Down Under ;)
