#DeleteFacebook trends in response to Cambridge Analytica
We all moved on from MySpace. We can move on from Facebook too." This was a typical message found on Twitter in the wake of accusations over Cambridge Analytica using personal data from 50 million Facebook users to influence the US presidential election in 2016. After reports of Cambridge Analytica using Facebook's user information came to light, people began to urge others to either #DeleteFacebook or #BoycottFacebook in response.
[...] A spokeswoman for Privacy International warned that privacy concerns extend beyond Facebook as "your data is being exploited all the time". A person on the technology subsection of Reddit agreed, saying removing Facebook "doesn't solve the long term problem [because] consent to data use is very weakly protected online right now". And one Twitter user seeking regulation of Facebook said having the ability to delete an account is "a privilege".
This is a campaign we can all get behind, regardless of your position on election interference and influences.

Yep. Ruby on Rails is a pain in the ass.
Docker is really only optimal for certain solutions. I don't use it very much myself.
I only brought it up because I was looking at various ways to package up Diaspora.
I support your decision not to use Ruby or Docker.
I am a little confused as to why you're so butthurt about it. Did a bunch of Ruby coders and Docker admins gang rape your sister or something?
