Leaving Facebook After ~11 years

This past week my wife and I engaged in the following activity: #deletefacebook

Here’s excepts from text shared with friends and family:

You are being f-ed with on Facebook. On my wife’s account they are now blocking our ability to send the following text IN FACEBOOK MESSENGER.

Facebook is watching you.

Facebook is controlling you.

It is highly inadvisable to stay here.

Programmatic AI is watching what you type, and now all manner of shadow banning is now easily triggered.

Wake up.

——- text blocked from New individual messages in Messenger for the account of my wife:

We are leaving Facebook (including Facebook Messenger) on February 10, 2020:

Should you wish continued contact, you can contact us via Skype and email:

Email:

Skype (vid and text chat):

<clip> 

If possible please move all communication paths to these new venues.

As of February 10 all our Facebook accounts will be deleted.

Regarding "Facebook similar" activities, for now these activities are being moved to minds and twitter.

Minds dOt com forwardslash jhigbee

(Facebook also sometimes blocks minds URLs)

Twitter.com/jhigbee2021

Minds is similar to Facebook in feature set.

All of our photo albums have been moved to Google Drive (high quality unlimited upload mode).

We will not be on Facebook in any way after February 10, 2020.

We will not support the psychopathy of the operators of Facebook.

#deletefacebook

=============end of quote.

Leave Facebook. They HAVE imposed new programmatic AI to monitor what YOU type, even in f- ing MESSENGER! And if the AI doesn’t like what you’re touring, a Beijing style shadowban will be implemented.

Andrew Torba & Gab Go Off the Deep End: Hysteria regarding the human body.

Gab’s #AndrewTorba utterly undermines the existence of his site gab.com, with his discussion on #porn. Torba: https://www.pscp.tv/w/cMLoyzFvUEVMQnphd01NS2R8MU1uR25Fdk1XWlZLT3pBODyG54rCf172bAGMAm7HljpZXmLHahvtsts9zLB7 Main points from Torba, reasonable paraphrasing and interpretation: 1. “People who object to me are addicted to porn.” 2. “Let’s put legal barriers against speech I don’t like.” 3. Children. Save the children, as a reason for item 2. My responses: A. Yes humans have evolved to have “hidden sexuality.” B. Yes adult #sexuality should be appropriately hidden, from children. C. Adult porn, that is explicit portrayals of human sexuality, are absolutely free speech. D. Torba is inviting legal blocks regarding speech some don’t like. Utterly hypocritical. Absolutely undermining his pwn brand. E. It’s lazy and stupid to state that people who object to gov blocking access to legal images and words, via forced identity verification, are “addicted to porn.” F. Gov regulation of what adults can share, about adults between adults, opens the door to too much control and regulation of human thought and interaction. G. What is legal speech? Adult porn is legal. H. If you’re a parent who’s concerned, use technology to block the content you consider inappropriate for viewing by children. The alternative is, what? Inviting censorious totalitarians to creep more into power. I. The balance between what should be legal and not, has been reasonably reached already in America. We don’t ask the government for permission to read legal material or to see legal images, period. Adults viewing adults. Adults reading what adults do. Adults sharing with adults. Freedom of association. #Freedomofspeech. Freedom of thought. #Gab and Andrew Torba are off the rails. J. Yes humans aren't bonobos. But gov requiring ID checks to view certain pixels or ink, is regressive and a quick path to totalitarianism.

The destruction of gab.com. #GetOffGab #DumpGab #LeaveGab #GabIsNotFree p.s. Torba has blocked me on Twitter. He's Tetchy and is in a forced Silo.

Postmodernism births sterile wastrels. Choose life instead.

Postmodernism births sterile wastrels. Choose life instead. Postmodernism (and racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger's birth control pill): Helps females become fat pigs. Next, overly attractive males have no females to hook up with. And thus, the Stonewall LGBTQPZ project was born: a place for abused abusive wastrels to go, so as to engage in mutual wankery to no good effect, other than some nice art perhaps, but zero kids born into best-for-the-kids settings. Lives derailed. Lives destroyed. Yes, it's true, wankery in and of itself won't make you a LGBTQPZ. For the Mormons & Ex-Mormons in my feed: Mormon Prophet Spencer Kimball's claim that wankery will may you a sexual invert (i.e. a g,a,y), which was taught textually AND verbally in the Mormon (LDS) Church, yes that's not correct. And mandatory sexually explicit interviews of children and adults absolutely drives some of those people to be angry reactionaries when they get older or become more mature. All abusive Mormon she'at which other flavors of Christianity don't do (e.g. Evangelical and other protestant). But the ultra left is not a panacea answer to the abuses of sections of the ultra right. Oh, yes, as an ex-religionist, you can be so angry angry angry, with religion in general. But, we being evolutionary animals with emergent properties, happen to couch our evolved morals within religious contexts. Religions are evolutionary artifacts and engines themselves. The (French) bullshit postmodernist ideology, derails the lives of many. Gender is binary in the human animal. Yes, children need a mother and a father, for their own best evolved and natural well being. Gender is not changeable in the human animal. There's no such thing as "gender identity," just moronic and stupid and abusive gender dysphoria. Secular people can have bad dumbshit memes running on their brains, too. Thus, to be a conservative, means you want to conserve things. Today being a conservative means conserving free speech. Conserving British Western Enlightenment values. Conserving the American project is the best example of those values. Universal slavery, ended. Science and human knowledge, advanced. True free speech, present, something not as fully present in any other country or community. The ability to fry sacred cows, yes, that's included. But let's not toss the baby of evolved morality out with the bathwater of mysticism. And I agree with Jordan Peterson that even the mystical stores have evolved natural good utilitarian value. Social conservatism is the >default< useful natural evolved position, because that position promotes live, preserves life, and continues life. Ok let's call out abuses, but let's also value what should be valued. Sincerely, Jonathan
