Episode 12.12 - Escape Meta's hellscape

from Crucial Tech Hosted by Lou Covey

Meta is like Hotel California. You can enter but you can't leave. That's the story I hear over and over. It isn't true. I did and have never looked back. The claims that Meta platforms can improve your business, keep relationships alive, inform the electorate and make a better society have been disproven again and again, but the thing keeps growing. It does that by suppressing the belief that there are alternatives. This podcast talks about how you, your group, your business and your friends can leave the toxic cesspit and find success and mental health in the decentralized world. Sponsored by Haven.
