We may be about to see an exodus from Facebook

Apparently, there's a new set of rules being brought into force by the management about what words and topics are tolerable there. One of my friendlisters on FB is claiming to have already been force-logged out and warned about using the F-word. If you have information to confirm or debunk this, either way, feel free to share.

In addition to the Tumblr countdown, 4chan moved all of its nominally safe-for work boards onto a second domain ('4channel') a couple of weeks ago. The timing can't be coincidence, can it?

In connection with some of these particular interpretations of FOSTA+SESTA being brought into force elsewhere? I don't think we'll have to wonder for long.

A FB exodus wouldn't be a bad thing. That place is a toxic garbage fire.

There have been times in the last couple of years in particular when I've had to run away. Anywhere on the Internet but there.

Wow, language policing?! The last time that I seriously posted on FB was photos when we were on our European cruise to share them with my parents and friends in '15. I set up a second account to share photos with my photographer friends locally, but I never use that account. Considering everything that FB Corporate does, I'd have no problem at all seeing a mass exodus and them withering and dying in the dust.
