Despite your assumption, I don’t judge stink by your criteria. Don’t project your ideas onto my comments please.

It's a common misspelling. It was supposed to be "METH", but the spelling corrector spoiled it for them, and they could not just admit the mistake, so they have left it at "META". The only plausible explanation
You will be required to pay sixpence and your mother's soul, or something like that.
Great analogies. Sounds like they are aligning everything to be fattened and streamlined by making sure that the size of the pie they can take from in 2023 is as big and as untouched as possible for when they start collecting.
30% of something that was already 70% is equivalent to getting 21% of the full 100% source.
Also the small business itself wouldn’t get hit double, this could have been a big reason for “the AppStore fees make it difficult” mention.
Intersection is putting it mildly.
It's a complete and utter overlap of the two ?
Facebook will try all kinds of things. Privacy is nothing for them. Will have to wait and see if Apple objects.
This reads a bit like “I hate what I don’t understand”. Dictionaries are a thing, and meta is a fairly common word and prefix.
Yep. We’d have riots in these forums. Especially when most here use Facebook.
One Caveat,
People who load Apps via Facebook should remember what the Great Zuck said in his early days when asked why people would give him all sorts of personal data.
MR will not allow me to quote verbatim:
"Dumb ****s",
But you could substitute one letter in his name:
Dumb Zucks"

Ok
Dont think about them anymore. Well only when I come here and see all the whining about Facebook
Ikr. I deleted my account 2 years ago. Block them with AdGuard.

Things move quickly in this time in our new history. Like my idea of dumping AT&T (I came up with months ago) due to their near complete funding of a 'new network' which is a source of horrific disinformation and malignancy. But what are the options. In many areas, AT&T could be the only option between having internet service, and not. I looked into the options decades ago, and DSL was still a very possible option, and the speeds were respectable, for the time. Now? I can't find a provider that still supports it. AT&T has forced their customers off of it, and on to U-Verse. And home phones lines? AT&T has pushed removal of traditional POTS service like it's a cancer about to kill the company. Hard line phone service is the best for a changing world effected by climate change, the phone always worked, unless the 'back office' died. AT&T effectively marooned their customers, but they saved billions pushing them onto notoriously early unreliable VOIP services. (Yeah, I'm pissed and mystified why they did that. It trashed any idea of 'public good' from them)
So I rambled a bit, but the idea of dumping AT&T is on the top of my list, and yet what are the choices. Spectrum. That's it, and they aren't any possible variation of Lilly White either! Look at home improvement, the big box stores, your choice is openly toxic and obnoxious, and just mildly horrific. It takes time to research that change...
But, if people want to dump Facebook, there is life after Facebook. I followed a suggestion of someone who said 'take a week off, and look at the totality of the Facebook experience. All the good, and also all of the bad and horrific'. I did, and had the realization that I hated logging on to Facebook many times, and some times that I had logged onto it, I realized it was a waste of time. I think what hooks people on Facebook is the possibility of changing someones mind on an issue. And the truth is, it rarely happens. I looked at the 'Block List', and it was a lot longer than I though it was. And looking at the names, it brought up all of those interactions, and just brought the whole futility of Facebook into batter focus.
And I wasn't wading into the sewers of Facebook. I was in groups on bicycle riding, and Peloton, and physics, and a few other interests. There were mean and illogical people on ALL of them. People determined to trash and textually destroy people. And the stalkers, and the sniping, and all of it. I started deleting my history that very day. It took a while, but I got all of my history deleted, or at least so I couldn't see it anymore. (It occasionally came back on its own too, which was disturbing, and shocking)
People stay on Facebook out of laziness, and abused spouse syndrome. 'It's not always that toxic' 'I have lots of fast friends here'
No, it's always that toxic, the potential is there 100% of the time.
No, most lurk, and many don't even watch what you are doing on the platform. I was attacked by past friends who moved on, changed, and were nearly unrecognizable. Facebook pushes a fantasy. It's all they have. And that Facebook allowed anonymity, they encouraged obnoxious behavior.
Having left Facebook, I'm fine. I miss some of the people I communicated with, but the toxicity in my life is gone from that platform, and the time I wasted is put to other things. I won, Zuck lost.
On hindsight, I recognized their 'algorithm', and adjusted my account to try to end the toxicity, but it would flip back at a whim. I had to, it seemed monthly, adjust my timeline to keep the crap to a minimum. I didn't care what someone I didn't know said about something I cared about, and all the other crap. *GONE*
People never thought Blackberry would tumble, or that Apple would be come the trillion company it has become. Stranger things have happened.
Sure it’s a daunting task, but you have to start somewhere.
People joined en masse to create Facebook. The opposite has to happen.
If only there were an alternative.
