If you want anymore proof that #META and #Zuckerberg are evil and complicit in the move toward fascism, here you go. Do not Federate with #Threads.
Court documents in the case revealed that Facebook’s parent company Meta supplied police with the private Facebook messages that Celeste and Jessica Burgess had sent one another. In one message, Celeste told Jessica: “Remember we burn the evidence.”

New research makes it possible to calculate the emissions generated by a company’s #cash and #investments (cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities). This research illuminates that this previously #HiddenEmissions source is substantial. For some of the world’s largest companies, including #Alphabet, #Meta, #Microsoft, and #Salesforce, their cash and investments are their largest source of #emissions.

Potentially #UnpopularOpinion, but I'm genuinely excited about #Threads federating. The biggest appeal of #Xitter was and remains not the platform itself, but the people we follow.
As much as I despise #Meta & #Facebook, being able to use Mastodon while following my favorite accounts without supporting another closed platform is incredible. In the same way, I hope that #Bluesky and AT Protocol eventually integrate somehow with #ActivityPub and the rest of the #Fediverse.

Anybody else using #Instagram here? Their #contentmoderation is doing suspiciously targetted banning, preventing me from posting whenever I mention the words #RussellBrand, WTF?!! I've been banned and suspended TWICE from posting this week, but only when I use those #keywords. What is #Meta doing?
Had to download #WhatsApp the other day and I'm amazed at how it effectively *requires* access to your contacts.
If you try to even send a message, it immediately asks for access to your contacts, and if you say "no" it just stops and you can't send a message. I'm not getting tricked into giving my social graph to #Meta again.
What's crazier is that a friend downloaded it at the same time but *could* send a message without giving access to contacts. Apparently their #iPhone app support this while the #Android app does not.
So my friend could initiate a conversation with me, and I can view and respond. But I can't initiate a conversation with them. (I wonder if this was a requirement of Apple's review?)
Seriously, fuck off with these privacy-invasive designs. There is no valid reason for this.

I see folks at #strangeloop who are going to use Mastodon like one might have used Twitter at a conference long ago. I'm curious about what workflows or tools might help fedi do that better?
On twitter I could go to the hashtag and see anyone's reactions, even if I and no one I knew already knew them. Is there a way to get that experience for specific hashtags?
(This would realllllly help my local politics/organizing use case too!)

"It is sort of interesting because there isn't much opposition to the bill itself," said Christian Bourque, executive vice president at Leger. "There's opposition to the fact they would not get their news whenever they want, wherever they want."
"The report looked at #Meta [#Facebook and #Instagram], #Pinterest, #YouTube, #TikTok and #Twitter for their content moderation policies and efforts to mitigate inaccurate information such as #ClimateDenialism.
Twitter received its only point in the report for [having] an easily accessible and readable #PrivacyPolicy." #Privacy is important because fossil fuel companies, like other advertisers, can use personal data to sway public opinion.

Finally decided to stop sharing new pieces on my Facebook page. Too many artists lately have tried to opt out of Meta's AI machine learning and have been told "no" that I just can't ignore it anymore.
I held on as long as I could so I could share with family and friends, but it's so throttled there no one sees what I post anyway.
From now on, I'm only going to post links to my work on other sites.That's the best I can do for them. I have to draw the line.

FTC Warns Tax Prep Companies Against Invasive #Online #Tracking
From @themarkup
Last year The Markup revealed that tax prep companies sent sensitive personal information/tax related info/financial info to #Facebook without clear disclosure or expressed consent. This was primarily happening because of the #Meta Pixel, which collects data on websites that implement it - regardless if you have a Facebook/Meta company account.
Afterall, who files taxes and expects that information get sent straight to Facebook/Meta when using a tax prep software?
To the surprise of exactly nobody, #Meta has shuttered Messenger Lite & is forcing users onto the full Messenger app.
Also unsurprisingly it's full of the exact sh*t I was using Lite to get away from, like suggestions, pages & little red numbers I either can't or don't want to do anything about.

So done with Corporate-Sponsored Social Media
Only good behavior
On Threads, Meta Platforms Inc.’s Twitter copycat, nobody talks about “marijuana.” People also don’t mention “murder,” “opioid,” or “skinny.” At least that’s what a user may think if they use the app’s search tool to seek out those terms, only to be notified there are no results.

Dat #X geld wil gaan vragen voor toegang tot #Twitter lijkt me geen rare gedachte. Waarom zou alles gratis moeten zijn? En ook #Meta speelt met de gedachte om geld te vragen voor haar diensten. Veel beter businessmodel dan data te verzamelen om advertenties te kunnen verkopen!

Considering using my Threads account to talk about how much I love Mastodon and Pixelfed lol. I've already posted about Mastodon on there before so why not. 😆 :mastodon: 😁
In a meeting held in early August, the imposition of algorithmic surveillance onto the fediverse was discussed by several participants, including a representative of IFTAS. Their organization was presented as a possible vehicle for the standardization of third-party surveillance-capitalist moderation schemes. It should be noted that there was a mention of possible disagreement within their organization on the propriety of this idea.

Fediseer represents the kind of horizontalist, agency-distributing creative thinking the fediverse needs to solve its blocklist problems. (It should also be noted that @db0 is collaborating with The Nivenly Foundation on another project, and the reference here to their Fediseer work shouldn't be construed as forming any connection between @db0 and the critique of Nivenly in this thread).
And those problems do need to be solved. As we have noted before, Facebook and its associated operatives are coming for this network. They intend to target weaknesses in the blocklist system to claim that the only possibility for sustainable moderation on the fediverse is corporate-centralized algorithmic surveillance, complete with functionality to auto-report subversive elements to the "appropriate authorities".

Bluesky har nå passert 1 million brukere, men det postes/skeetes (!) fortsatt ca 500 tusen meldinger pr dag, dvs. omtrent (litt mindre?) enn da det var 200 tusen tidlig i juli.
Jeg gjetter at aktiviteten foregår i klynger, spesielt i regioner som fortsatt ikke kan bruke #Metas #Threads.
Dvs. BS er ikke spesielt populært på hjemmebane i USA? Ihvertfall ikke populær nok at pengene renner inn.
Have you noticed how #Meta is now doing ads based on keyword targeting in response to #Mastodon searches? It seems like they're really pushing for #Threads to become the go-to app for the #Fediverse, even though Threads hasn't officially joined yet.
Funny enough, this strategy reminds me of their previous #Metaverse initiative. They went all out and even changed their name from "Facebook" to "Meta".
Given their track record, I wouldn't be surprised if Meta eventually rebrands themselves as "Fedi". 😁
