    Meta is Facebook and X is Twitter.

    I refuse to subscribe to their attempts to distance themselves from their own bullshit by rebranding.

      Understandable but if they said Facebook I would know what they meant, if they say Meta I have to verify if it is Facebook, Instagram, or Threads.

      I would suggest you mark “meta” as bullshit in your brain. If you only mark Facebook as bullshit, you unconsciously ignore Whatsapp, Instagram, Oculus, and all their other products.

        It’s ALL bullshit. But meta is always Facebook to me. I don’t care what that douche wants to call it.
