  1. What is a company like #Meta to do when it notices that 10% of it's income comes from advertising scams, illegal gambling & products?

    ENCOURAGE IT & RAISE THE PRICES FOR THE CRIMINALS - OF COURSE!

    Sadly the good times eventually had to end:
    The Consumer Federation of America is going after Meta for it now!

  2. Ho eliminato definitivamente le piattaforme #Meta e non ho mai avuto TikTok o X. Oggi racconto della mia vita senza #social (tranne questo profilo #mastodon , ça va sans dir) dopo sei (actually sette) mesi.

  3. Guess Meta's all in on #AI isn't paying off ;)

    "Engagement rates on #Instagram, LinkedIn and #Threads declined last year compared with 2024, while #Facebook, Pinterest and TikTok increased slightly."

    Not a good look when you just had to write off the US$ 73 Billion from that failed #Metaverse!

  8. Marky Mark still hasn't updated the old Threads.net domain in the #Fediverse to the new Threads.com

    Guess his superintelligence wasn't up to the challenge 🤖

    On a side note: If #Meta wants a product to be "cool", @zuck should not wear it! 😎

  9. #VamonosJuntas Estamos financiado las guerras de EEUU usando #google #whatsapp #meta #amazon. Hay alternativas. Propuesta: mantener temporalmente Whatsapp, respondiendo cada vez más tarde y añadiendo que hacemos más caso a Signal, al email o llamadas, por los motivos anteriores, privacidad, etc. ¿Es #Signal una aceptable alternativa teniendo en cuenta que aunque es de una fundación, está en EEUU? ¿Alternativas a Android para móviles no modernos?

  10. 🫧 Is the US #AI bubble bursting?

    Meta just lost 200+ Billion $ in value, in part because they planned to spend 200+ Billion a year on AI infrastructure¹ 🤣

    📉 A solid -13.79% stock price drop within a few days!

    Time to #DEMETA?

  12. Earlier this summer I received a warning from Meta Quest that my 19 year old account was being used by a child.* They wanted me to confirm my age by sending them a photo of a government ID or credit card, which I was reluctant to do. Hence they suspended my Facebook, Instagram and Messenger account, I let the reactivation period lapse.

    I'm actually glad it happened, this was the push I needed to de-Facebook my life. Luckily I had already downloaded and deleted most of my data from the services.

    * I still don't know what caused this, it could be that my kids' use of a Quest headset on my account was analyzed in some way.

  13. Chronic Reel watchers 😕 Instagram users, and anyone who’s fallen into the social media trap, listen up! Social media addiction can be a real challenge. Be Mindful. Stop scrolling. Delete your Instagram accounts now.

  14. Finally got through the process of downloading my old Facebook and couple of Instagram accounts data today. Pretty extensive! Had wait several days on Facebook alone.

    Just clicked to confirm deletion of ALL my Meta accounts and couldn't be happier!

    I have also mostly finished moving all +200 online accounts using my various gmail and outlook emails over to Proton Mail aliases! Coming for you next Google and Microsoft, so watch out!

    It's hard work, but take back your data, privacy, and peace of mind from these big tech companies that profit from your doomscrolling and selling your data!

    Thanks to all the folks on here, Reddit, and YouTube that have given insight, especially @techlore. Thank you!

    #manufacturingConsent

    *edited to add: there are often open-source alternatives, many of which need help with everything from translation to documentation to writing code. That is to say, I acknowledge that for many interactions, my posting the hashtag on it's own is reductionist, but perhaps where Manufacturing Consent seems relevant, we can trace our steps back and figure out the point we started consensually engaging with the entity that is or seems to be manufacturing consent.

    There's probably a spectrum of degrees of choice represented at those points we started consensually engaging with the other entity, depending on (em)urgency of the customer's need and degree of monopoly supplier holds. Eg.: emergency medical care > insulin pump > railway ticket.

    The user has to consent to all of those things, but obviously at one end of the spectrum is "or death", and moving away from that things get more relaxed.

    Crikey. Sorry. Don't stand there. I think there's a soapbox on the floor. Dangerous stuff this social media!

    For users who just want instant messaging & group-chat, is it worth mentioning Delta Chat?

    It leverages email, so all it needs is for the user to make an email address for it, which is an achievable goal for most people.

    github.com/deltachat

    Obviously I accept Signal is the easiest to "sell", because it has voice/video calling, and we can just say it's the one US cabinet members use, so it's sort of a "household name".

  17. The decoupling from US services continues: Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon accounts all deleted or in the waiting period for deletion. Paid Google accounts closed (closing free ones shortly). I'm pulling out of every one of the companies who had their CEO at the Trump inauguration. #canada #trump #degoogle #deamazon #demeta #demicrosoft

  18. After using Facebook for over - what, 20 years? - my profile has finally been deleted. It was fun until it wasn't. Results: more new social connections, with less stress and anxiety. Not having to be a donor of data to Meta is also a huge relief.

  19. 'modern algorithms “result in a state of docility that allows tech companies to curtail human experiences—human lives—for profit' -- how's that for a leader? I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but definitely interested. This is a different take on the typical topics of #degoogle #demetanisation #demeta #detwitter #dexification .

  20. In case it's not obvious in my #degoogle #demetanisation #demeta streak... I've also ditched the artist formerly known as Twitter. A writer friend of mine once referred to Twitter as an intellectual cesspool... and that was before it got #musked

    A great festival.
    Not as criticism, but solidaric and respectful suggestion: it would be great if it could be promoted without using meta/facebooks destructive platform.

  22. WhatsApp přestal náhle fungovat a padá po spuštění. Google Play se podobně před nedávnem odhlásilo a tlačítkem "Přihlásit se" se nejde přihlásit. Místa na disku je nicméně dost. Sbohem a šáteček! O jeden pípák méně.
