Goddamn it. Just stop using that shit. If connections are meaningful, they will find a better way to stay in touch. Crying about every decision made by a company you chose to use does not make you a hero but a pointless victim.
We can cry about the actions of a company that we boycott, because it impacts other people or has larger political consequences. Don’t make this about some kind of individualist consumer choice, that’s a very convenient way to ignore political problems and victim-blame consumers.
I can’t see a good excuse for this. The other change is free speech, but this is just removing a feature that was harming no one, probably brought a little joy to several people’s lives, and just seems transphobic tbh.
The (in)official excuse from Zuckerberg is: Heil Trumpler!
