Summary

Meta’s recent shift to right-leaning policies, including ending fact-checking in the U.S., scaling back content moderation, and allowing anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, has sparked boycotts and a user exodus.

The company also disbanded its diversity, equity, and inclusion team, drawing criticism.

Prominent users like director Cord Jefferson and nonprofits like Equal Access Public Media have left or reduced activity on Meta platforms.

Many are migrating to alternatives such as Bluesky, Amigahood, and Tumblr, while some remain trapped due to Meta’s dominance in communication and business.

    Workforce diversity was touched on in my college business courses (I went to work in the non-profit sector).

    It’s a benefit to companies for all the reasons squid stated. Nixing it is virtue signaling towards the fascist regime.

      I’m really happy to hear that, thanks! I mean, not the nixing part… the “not being a complete asshole is even good for business”
