Sorry what? Facebook/meta has a very diverse employee population, and very influential diversity groups.

People of all kinds (men, women, lgbtiq+, binary and non-binary people) dressed in all kinds of way have contributed to “ gleefully incinerating the mental and emotional stability of billions of people for the sake of making money”

It’s incredibly fair to describe, in 2026, the Meta employee pool as an outwardly diverse set who have consistently traded morals for money in a project that has brought harm to children and democracies worldwide.

I have friends who work at Meta, and none of them are evil. But all of them are complicit in enabling and excusing the sociopathy of folks like Zuckerberg and Mosseri.

Alot of words to reach conclusions already often arrived at over the past few years, but ok. Many realized Fediverse isn't it and moved on, but also fine for some to still congregate around their respective instances and communities and have their space too. Small/indie web etc etc. It's just not the broad social network some might have been looking for beyond X. That being said no "direct experience using Twitter" raises how OP has any real insights into this at all really. Also avoiding Bluesky or saying ATProto kind of a big hole here, but at least mentioned as maybe possibility and that's not the main subject of the post. Carry on.
