I'm 24. I didn't say META is based. I said it's becoming MORE based. For example: If META was only 10% based and now it became 20% based - it's still not based, but it became more based. Hope this better explains my perspective.

What does "based" mean to you?

Urban dictionary sums it up really well IMO.

A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.

For example:
META is based for open sourcing their LLM weights.

Even if we assume that Meta's policy of loosening up grey zone speech as step in the right direction, it still doesn't make it "more based"

Meta is a mega corpo whatever they do is always fucking plebs over and this is no exception, make no mistake.

Up until now they censored speech and I guess I were big mad, others said meta is an "ally"

Facebook then flipped the script, so now he is an ally to "you"

This a polarization divide and conquer tactic and falling for it ain't based.

It's kind of obvious that Zucc is doing this to be on the "winning side" (Elon's side). I don't think this has anything to do with "divide and conquer".
