    Sell it to whom? I’d rather they have to spin it back off into its own company.

    Same with WhatsApp. They should never have been allowed to buy either.

      Sell it to someone who can’t run it who sells it again to someone who can’t run it who sells all the information to someone who owned it originally which devalues the company so it gets sold back to the people who sold it because they knew this would happen

    Suddenly Mark Zuckerberg makes another’s “donation” and poof, the trial mysteriously goes away.

      No no no, first the trial goes away, then, for no reason at all, the judge receives a mansion as a gift from zuckyfucker. It’s not bribery if it’s paid after the favor!

    Nah, he’ll just bribe Trump and it won’t happen. I suspect that’s why Zuck is getting into the manoverse. Btw, why isn’t the manoverse just called a midlife crisis?

    It would be nice. Whilst insta has mostly supplanted twitter here in Japan for biz stuff, I still don’t like meta owning it. I probably will create one (but fuck twitter) just to communicate with my customers, but I’d much rather it not belong to meta at that point. It’s worth noting, I do plan on creating other accounts on federated media, but there’s only so much one human with a fulltime job and a farm business can keep up with.

    As someone who used to love pre-reels instagram a lot. I hope this happens.

    Or that Pixelfed takes off
