I personally walked away from Facebook and instagram 10 years ago. In the run up to the 2016 election, the magnitude of the algorithmic manipulation on those platforms became impossible to tolerate. My Facebook account still exists (some folks are still using Facebook Messenger to reach me) but I don’t post or even scroll it anymore. As far as I’m concerned, it’s just the new MySpace.

We need to accept that we don’t have the numbers swat down every troll over there. The better solution, in my opinion, is to step back from them altogether. Let their engagement with us atrophy to the point where they become dull echo chambers. That would hurt them far more than trying to fight the combination of the army of antisemites and their AI friends.
