Going months at a time without his Facebook account for his legal practice has allegedly cost him thousands of dollars in advertising and communication with clients
Take a hint, get a professional website and don’t rely on Facebook to host your business.
You have to meet clients where they are. These days, clients are far less likely to find you if you only have a site with no social media presence.
which is the dumbest shit in the world. why the fuck are people on facebook?
Well marketplace basically killed Craig’s list, so that’s one reason.
This one irks me. I grabbed an Auto-Trader paper today as I was reminiscing about how local trader-papers used to be a thing. I got my NES and Saxophone that way. I still have one of those. -Then craigslist ended that and now that has been replaced by a website that requires membership to read the listings.
Yep, I feel ya. It’s so unfortunate that the required membership is what provides the benefits that allowed them to beat Craigslist.
We gave away computer parts on Craigslist a few months ago. It was a no-stress transaction and the receiver was a sweet old-school computer person building a basic machine for his kids to play Minecraft. Would do again.

Have you tried explaining something to someone lately? A lot of people don’t care and don’t understand. About anything
People are on Facebook because that’s where everyone already is. They won’t leave because then they lose contact with all those people.
‘People who spend too much time on Facebook’ overlaps with ‘People who need cheap lawyers.’
I’m on Facebook because many people I communicate or work with and pages and groups relevant to my interests are active there.
You could say the same about any social media site really.
The whole point of social media is to communicate with other people. Facebook is the largest one, so if you want to contact a business or person, they’re more likely to be on Facebook than any other site. Probably the main exception are younger people (and companies run by them), where they’re more active on TikTok and Instagram.
It’s *Meta*
I guess understandable for initial discovery, but it’s on the lawyer if they didn’t hand out a contact card with email phone and whatnot to all clients
Devils advocate, perhaps he did and clients still reached out on FB. When he got banned they assumed he ghosted and went with another lawyer.
I would believe that theory. People are dumb enough to make that entirely feasible.
another example of hating the game, not the player
But if your name is Marc Zuckerberg, why not act like you want to and sue.
no way why should i change hes the one who sucks
Everything was fine until that no talent ass clown started making social media sites.
The attorney is asking for restitution —and a week on Zuckerberg’s yacht.
What
I was in danger of having sympathy for a lawyer, then this brought me back.
Way to take a serious matter and make it comical.
If you look at the actual quote, that is quite editorialized. My reading if the quote was that it was said in jest.
Reminds me of how after WW2 people stopped calling their kids Adolf or even changed their name Adolf into something else. I mean, I’m not saying Zuckerberg is literally Hitler or something, but it sure is funnily similar.
Same thing happened after WW1 too btw. The strong anti-German sentiments across the US and Europe prompted multiple changes. William and Vilhelm became Bills or Ville; Müller became Miller; Schmidt became Smith.
I had a lot of Swedish family who did this from around 1915-1930 and as you said, again after WW2.
What about John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? Everyone seemed to share a name with him according to lore.
It’s probably so popular on account of people always shouting it.
Hey! That’s my name, too!
Zuckerberg literally means sugar hill/mountain in German.
As an Austrian, this comment saying that ‘Berg’ translates to both hill and mountain explains a lot about what I’ve seen Germans refer to as Berg. To me it only means mountain.
Most of the time it does mean mountain. But I did hear it used for hill once, but that’s it.
A LOT of the ones I’ve seen Germans refer to as that are hills to me, so maybe it’s normal for some. The way we use it, Berg has to go over the tree line, or at the very least be steep enough at the top to not have vegetation there.
Yeah, isn’t hill hügel/hüble? Currently hiking in DE and just climbed one and it had the signs, too. Now the real question is - at what point is it considered a mountain?
Our definition: either high enough or steep enough to have no vegetation at the top. For some people, only the former definition counts. But from experience, the definition must be different in Germany. Maybe someone from there can chime in to share their definition!
See? I knew the different instances of this bot would start fighting each other one day.
A celebrity? Holy fucking ego, batman!
I say make it a cage match. Thunderdome style.
He should just host his own instance and… oh, wait…
Maybe fb Zuck could follow in the path of the former Ron Artest.
Meta World Conflict?
I’d probably get my name changed even without my accounts getting blocked
Why are they even assuming someone would want to impersonate meta Zuckerberg?
Serious answer: A surprising number of people, especially those who still have Facebook accounts in 2025, are susceptible to scams where someone pretends to be a rich and/or famous person asking for favours or money.
They get a message from a fake Zuck, and because they are dangerously credulous, they believe it is the real Zuck.
Zuck says they’ve been selected, or won a prize, or should send a photo or some such, and then suddenly Zuck’s blackmailing for a compromising photo or otherwise requesting Amazon gift cards or Bitcoin to “unlock” the prize or whatever.
“Zuck’s a rich man who owns the platform. He knows what he’s doing. I’d better look into how to do this Bitcoin thing.”
Facebook knows all this and so any Zucks that are not the Zuck get flagged as scammers and have their accounts shut down.
They’re worried that one of his clones might’ve escaped its “exit interview” and could expose the program. The accelerated aging and memory writing processes aren’t perfect and if one starts to degrade, it may be feel compelled to get on Facebook despite the obvious risk of Meta tracking it down. Lucky side-effect, I guess.
Here are some photos of the- hang on, will have to edit and add those later, somebody’s knocking on my door.
