For my birthday today… I deleted the Facebook account I created in September to access Marketplace. It served its purpose. I was going to sell other things but never got around to it. Then friends started requesting to be friends. It was awkward. I didn’t accept any requests and even made one post on my profile that I wouldn’t be friending anyone.. that it was only for Marketplace. People still requested…
Then a colleague/friend passed away and I missed an RSVP because someone sent me the message on FB rather than real life even though we weren’t FB connected and hadn’t communicated on there for years. This is what happens when people treat FB like the entirety of “the internet” and “communication”. I have a website with my name and phone! My address is not hard to search. Email!?
I was angry and sad about that. 😢
So ya… if I do the Marketplace thing again I’ll just make a temp account and delete it after use, like a single use plastic bag to pick up dog poop. 💩 🤣
In the meantime I’ll keep focusing on good people here on the #opensocialweb… and also connecting with people in real life.
Most of the 48 years I have spent on this earth have been without Facebook. I’ll manage :)

Remember a few weeks ago I made a Facebook account with the intent of only using it for Marketplace because there are no good options around here for selling stuff.
I can happily report that zuck has not sucked me into his algorithm! But that doesn't mean I haven’t noticed his algorithm at work.
I happened to tap the 'home' button yesterday.
You know what it was?Charlie Kirk
literally top to bottom.... every story and post was about him. Nothing close to my community. Nothing related to anything else.
Just Kirk.
holy ____ am I glad to be on Mastodon/Fediverse. And god we are so ____ as long as billions of people are exposed to that place.
And just to be clear... my only activity on there is through Marketplace. I don't have any friends, no groups, nothing else that I think would impact the algorithm. So as far as I know, I'm a virgin user to FB's algorithm. And that's what I got.

I have an admission to make.
I made a Facebook account. 😭😬Before you draw and quarter me, please understand this is out of pure desperation/necessity. lol.
Our town only buys/sells things on Marketplace. I don’t want to keep bugging my spouse every time I need to sell something (which isn't very often thankfully) or want to look for some random used thing.
The final straw was having to sell our son's car now that he has moved away.
My punishment: even though I pinned a post on my FB profile saying I am only using it for Marketplace and won't be accepting any Friend requests and that everyone should definitely check out the Free and Open web at socialbc.ca… now I am getting friend requests and feel slightly guilty.
I don't want to confirm them, obviously, but also don't want to delete them because that seems rude.
God I hate how FB has monopolized this stuff!
On the bright side, someone is coming to buy the car today!

Is “poking" still a thing on Facebook?
There was a person who I only sort of knew through association back in the old days when I first got on Facebook... we used to exchange “pokes" regularly.
And every time I think about that, it gets more and more creepy.

I just need to take a moment to say how much I appreciate the mixture of news, people, life, silliness... of my Mastodon timeline.
There are very few posts that turn me off. It's my feed. I feel in complete control of it.
I can't imagine giving up this control again.
So thanks to all of the people I follow and to the Mastodon world as a whole! This really is a much better space!

I know the (social media) world will heal itself now that Facebook temporarily bans the accounts of people like my Father in Law who posts nothing but family related things. Apparently he logged on today to a lock-out notice.
He spent hours getting it unlocked.
Most people would probably just create a new account.
These late-stage capitalists are dumb.

This might be the first time Trump is right twice in one headline. Just probably not for the reasons he thinks.
"Trump says TikTok is a national security threat, Facebook is 'enemy of the people'"

I was in an office in town today and someone said Hey! I recognize you! You're Chris, you're Facebook Famous!
I haven't been on Facebook since 2021... so that's impressive I guess? Or scary? Or depressing? Definitely funny. I actually laughed.🤣 Had to politely say I haven't been on Facebook for almost 3 years.

@mosseri I have many thoughts about this.
1) I run my own server on an old iMac. Will it handle federating with Threads?2) I have a blog on a virtual host that already has trouble with the traffic generated from ActivityPub due to a known AP issue. Will this make it worse?
3) If Threads users can't see my replies, what is the point for non-Threads users?
4) Can you see posts longer than the standard 500 on Mastodon. (My limit is obv longer)
5) Morally, I have a deep problem with Meta, which has caused personal harm to myself and multiple members of my friends and family. Why should I support it by connecting to it now? I have not had an account on Meta for 2 years and have been very happy for that decision. Am I betraying that now?
6) I believe Threads federating is a good thing because of its acceptance of an open standards. Am I naïve in thinking that standard will continue to grow to the benefit of all regardless of the size of company involved?

It's November 2023. Have you sent an email to your local government or media organization encouraging them to dump Twitter and Meta and come to #Mastodon and the #Fediverse!?

I believe my teenage daughter was hurt by Instagram. Corporate Social Media must be reigned in and take responsibility. "Zuckerberg, knew about the harms Instagram was causing but chose not to make meaningful changes to address them."

“Being undecided about participating on a platform that is actively welcoming racists, conspiracists and January 6ers as a matter of policy, not happenstance, isn’t tenable.”
A succinct way of putting it. The thing I would add is, is Facebook not in the same boat?

"It's full of racists and trolls but that's where the people are, so I posted it there. Then someone commented something awful and it all got taken down".
Said someone who posted a climate related event announcement on a community Facebook page.
Corporate Social Media is a failure and a danger.

Corporate Social Media has managed to fully stab itself in the back in Canada. The link at my local newspaper when you click on their Facebook or Instagram buttons sends you to a webpage that says:
https://www.albernivalleynews.com/trust-local-news
"Don't lose out on trusted local journalism.
While we no longer will be found on these platforms, we're not going anywhere."
And as for clicking on The Bird logo (what, no X?). It's just a big dumb login screen.
Irrelevance never looked so good.

My wife declared yesterday that Facebook should just be called Mombook. Because that’s essentially all she ever sees. Moms doing Mom things plus advertising. :)

A Minister was just asked if the Canadian Government can force Meta to deliver news on its platforms in this Emergency and I can't believe we have allowed ourselves to become so beholden to one company. I am *glad* Meta is blocking now because people will go elsewhere! Minister Blair suggested people tune into CBC Radio. Which is the right answer!!! Long Live the FEDIVERSE and public broadcasting!

This Essay is a must read. 😆 Also... #dumpZuck
"We all know how this works. Bots, farms, artificial boosting, algorithms, astroturfing, paying influencers, brands, and celebrities to migrate without saying they were paid. We are not new here. Asking Facebook to not fake engagement and steal data is like asking Canadian goose not to rip anyone’s face off."

Disadvantages to Threads, in plain English.
(12 so far. Please correct/add in the replies and I'll compile)
1 - Can't pull data from it automatically (API access)
2 - Can't interact with other micro-blog services, today. (Federation)
3 - Unproven moderation policies.
4 - Privacy and user data harvesting.
5 - Can't post from a web interface.
6 - No 3rd party apps.
7 - Can't delete profile without deleting Instagram profile as well.#TwitterMigration #Fediverse #Threads #Meta #DumpMusk #DumpZuck

So there is all this hair-on-fire posting about Meta federating with a new service but…. Does anyone know WHEN it will happen??

I’m not sure I have ever said anything nice about Zuck, but this may be one… maybe he stepped away from the Metaverse because he has matured as a business leader and realized it was a bad idea (or heeded the advice of his engineers and other advisors telling him so).

@feditips @vernissage Gonna try this out!! I never used my Instagram account mostly because I had already decided by that time to #dumpZuck. But I’m willing to give this a shot!
