It made sense in January, and it makes even more sense now: do not rely on meta's platforms:

Might be preaching to the choir here on Mastodon.

At 14:14 one possibility of why meta platforms (facebook, instagram, threads, whatsapp, etc.) are degrading and becoming less reliable:
If you want help shifting to other places, for your business or just personally, let me know. Happy to help however I can.

Article in the NYT about the book about facebook that meta is working to suppress.
If you want help getting off of facebook, instagram, threads and whatsapp, let me know; I’d be happy to help.

Having recently ditched its professional fact checkers, Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms, is waging what commentators have called "the war on facts", side by side with Donald Trump and Elon Musk . Sounds just about the right time to leave Meta for good and never look back?
Leaving Meta's services will require some efforts - but supporting each other in the transition can make it so much easier.

Swept up by all the excitement over the sudden growth of, and interest in, #Pixelfed, yesterday I opened a publicly accessible Pixelfed server, https://gr8.pics
If you are interested in a new home for posting photos, one that is decentralized and connected to all ActivityPub servers, come on over and kick the tires. It must be good if Zuckerberg is afraid of it, and blocking Pixelfed links, right?
As far as I know, Pixelfed doesn't do server relaying, so photographs and short videos come in only through follow relationships, which is why I'd like to get people to start posting photos and following people elsewhere in the Fediverse who post pictures. Currently, the local and global timelines are limited. Over time, it will become filled with photos and short videos as more people make it their photo home.
Although I haven't tried it yet, it's supposed to import your #Instagram account.
The server is less than a day old. It may have problems I haven't found out about. But, if you're in a pioneering mood and would like a decentralized home for your photos and short videos, well, maybe worth checking this out. The server is small, but seems to be handling what there is effortlessly, but I'll scale it up if I see stress.
Proud to add a Pixelfed server, https://gr8.pics, to my other decentralized servers to support decentralized media:

Er du også klar til at forlade Facebook, Instagram og WhatsApp? Men er du også i tvivl om hvilke alternativer der er og ønsker at følges ad med nogen?
Vi er mange, der er klar til at frigøre os fra Metas sociale medier, der på godt og ondt har fastholdt os i så mange år. Og lige nu virker det til, at det rent faktisk er momentum for at få skabt en masse-migration væk fra Meta – men hvor skal vi bevæge os til?

📷 Dear newcomers, if you plan to bulk-upload years worth of #Instagram or #Flickr photos, please consider tossing a coin to your admin if you can. :blobcatheart:
The server you're on is most likely run by a private individual, and its storage space for media files is not endless. Your donation helps your admin pay hosting costs and upgrade the server if needed. :server:

So, seems threads posts are lagging their ability to be available in the fediverse, past the normal 15 minutes. Could be just a temporary thing for @mosseri & @zuck to see if we care (we do), but clarifies that all of meta is unreliable now.
Come on now, we know meta is degrading, but I hate it.
Leave meta's platforms as much as you can since no matter what we do, they'll degrade further. Your connections & businesses cannot rely on meta any longer.

MAD at Meta? 😡Of course you are. So don’t let them collect and SELL your data! Deleting your accounts is NOT enough, they track you through countless third parties. Here’s what to do from the #EFF. #Meta #privacy #MetaMigration

One thing people might want to keep in mind when others tell them that Mastodon is "too confusing" is that I am seeing literally _fleets_ of people trying to leave Facebook saying _BlueSky_ is too confusing for them, and being utterly unable to find other BlueSky users despite knowing the usernames of the people they're trying to find.
I do not understand this and I do not want to be judgmental, I am simply presenting this "holy shit" fact.
Giving a URL to a profile and saying "click on the Follow button" seems to be helpful, but I'm trying to find out if that works properly if a person's only real way of using the web is through phone apps.

if you see pixelfed people showing up in your feed?
BOOST BOOST BOOST
EVEN IF IT'S NOT YOUR THING IN PARTICULAR
HELP 'EM FIND A HOME
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D

Leave Meta’s Platforms (available at link in comment too)
We cannot rely on facebook, instagram, threads, whatsapp, or any of them.
To put this in the most stark terms possible: we cannot stand in a room owned by someone with bad intentions, with the air itself controlled by them, and hope to win a fight against them. Staying in the room with our communities is not a solve. We will suffocate.

I like the fact that Tumblr allows multiple different blogs under one user.
I've now set up a replacement Tumblr page for my Marine Mammal News Facebook Page.
Shame to lose the followers I've gained over the years, but given how flooded the Facebook home feed is with unwanted crap, I doubt many people see my posts these days.
If you have Tumblr, follow me at: https://marine-mammal-news.tumblr.com/

I've also locked and mothballed my Instagram account with one final picture (feel free to reuse it!).
Audible and Instagram are now uninstalled across devices too.

If you struggle to leave FB due to friends, may I suggest deleting the crap-filled phone app, then on PC use Firefox to read FB while using the extension combo of Social Fixer (block sponsored posts, politics, keywords, etc.), uBlock Origin (block ads), & Facebook Container (makes it harder for FB to track you).
Not perfect, but it'll help restrict the oncoming crapnami & minimise Suckerbergs data grab a bit.

@HarpSong I think it is relatively new, as I had tried before and had no luck with it.
It seems to be a new thing as of this month to be able to follow a Threads account from the fediverse: https://lifehacker.com/tech/you-can-now-follow-mastodon-users-on-threads-sort-of
-
To avoid impersonation if the account goes dormant (gets deleted), I’ve been scheduling single posts to post on my old twitter once a week.
They invite people to join me on other platforms. I’ve basically deleted all other posts I made on twitter since 2008.
Today, I changed messages going forward to no longer direct people to meta platforms, and instead just to these:

Hey everyone, as #TwitterMigration3 fades and #MetaMigration approaches, I wanted to organize a pledge drive. 💰
🙏 I'm grateful for the 253 patrons that fund this server that's going to cross 11,000 users soon, but I'd want to have 275 to 300 people donating, even $1 each month.
We need to be ready for the next wave and be an open lifeboat for #Threads users who get their first taste of a Federated system and want the full, real thing. 👇
-
As we prep for the #MetaMigration to come (they launch in 2 days) and are in the middle of the #TwitterMigration3 ...
✊ I'd want to do a special shout-out to the
241 Patrons that keep this site going.We are about to cross 11,000 users here, and I want to be sure we remain an open and growing to many more, and are a lifeboat to the next wave.
If you can, donate even $1 a month here:
https://www.patreon.com/indiewebsocialThis is a labor of love, but every bit helps!
