Facebook i jego przewinienia ujawnione w Facebook Papers - ICD #26



Meta's #Facebook, #Instagram, and #Threads are down due to outages. However, #Fediverse instances of #Hubzilla, #Friendica, #Mastodon, #Misskey (family), #Pleroma (family), #Pixelfed, are up and running, with everyone in the #ActivityPub network continuing with our digital lives. ^_^

Federating with a surveillance capitalist doesn’t make you a surveillance capitalist, it just means that surveillance capitalism isn’t a deal breaker for you.

#PixelFed question: I finally was able to upgrade to the version with the #Instagram import that I have been awaiting for several years! 🥳

Now I exported my Instagram archive in JSON format, fed it to Pixelfed, selected 100 posts to import, and now they show as a number of "Processing Imported Posts" that doesn't decrease.

Am I missing something? Is there another background task to run beside the horizon supervisor?

By the way, it’s possible that #Facebook/ #Instagram/ #Meta/ Zuckerberg’s fediverse play for Threads is related to sidestepping the anti-competitiveness/antitrust issues around the EU’s Digital Services Act.

“Hey, look, we’re not a monopoly. We’re not being anticompetitive… we’re federating using an open protocol. Here, let our friend Eugen, CEO of Mastodon, explain to you how it works in very dispassionate words…”

Folks, the reason #Facebook/ #Instagram/ #Meta/ Zuckerberg hasn’t launched #Threads in the #EU isn’t because the EU is determined to protect your privacy, it’s because the EU is determined to protect The Single Market (peace be upon it) from anticompetitive behaviour. It’s because they’re using Instagram to launch Threads and sharing data between them (and not with EU startups that might want to use that data too). It’s #antitrust, not #privacy. It’s markets, not people.

#DigitalServicesAct


what do you call #meta's #instagram that tries to be mastodon?

#threads? well, yes, but! it should have been… #metadon:

«[Instagram] withdrawal management using methadone can be accomplished in less than a month, or it may be done gradually over a longer period of time, or simply maintained for the rest of the patient’s life».

Looking forward for when #Meta will add #ActivityPub support to #Instagram #Threads

Logged on #Facebook with my partner's credentials to handle Marketplace orders (for my LEGO sets) while she's away at a work conference, then browsed to an Instagram reel for completely different reasons, and #Instagram shows me a banner prompting me to log in as my partner's account.

IT ISN'T THE SAME FUCKING WEBSITE! 🤬

I do understand #Google cross-login between apps because they're all under the same google.com domain, so cookies can work across apps, but between facebook.com and instagram.com? I hate it.



The entirety of my #Instagram contents (well, the segment I cared to preserve) is now up on #Pixelfed! The new import is amazing.

#Instagram blocked my account without mentioning why. I am not posting or commenting so it is not obvious to me why they blocked me. Maybe because I am not using the app and only a browser. However, to unlock my account I should send them my phone number and a selfi of me with my account name, my real name and a pin they sent me written on a paper which I should hold.
What the f***? This is crazy!
I have now told them to delete my account and I also deleted my #Facebook account.

for some reason #instagram has been warping all my attempts at posting like this for over a week. I reinstalled the app, restarted my phone, nothing... wtf.
my attempt at posting a photo of myself holding my son at the ER last night, but instagram is stretching it horizontally until it's unrecognizable.


Fe-Diversity, no, thanks?



People need to understand.

#Google isn't a search engine.
#Facebook isn't a journal to share with your friend.
#Instagram isn't a public photo album.
#Twitter isn't a micro-blogging website.

They are all advertisement companies.


Czy to już zaczęła się migracja z #Facebook-a i #Instagram-a?

Instancja mi spowolniła niemiłosiernie...

Nie odświeża powiadomień, websockety leżą?
Mały Mastodont siedzi przed komputerem, a na niebieskim ekranie duży napis ERROR


This one goes out to recently arrived or aspiring Twitter refugees



I love this article that not only clearly explains what #mastodon is, but also why it's so much better than ad-driven engagement-focused centralized media like #twitter, #facebook, #instagram, #youtube, etc etc etc. Check it out! https://escapingtech.com/tech/opinions/i-was-wrong-about-mastodon-moderation.html
A screenshot from the above linked article describing how handling abuse on mastodon differs from Twitter and other centralized media.


Today at my blog: In which in one fell swoop, I finally #delete my accounts at #Facebook, #Twitter, #Instagram, #Flickr, #500px, #Netflix and #Hulu, to instead embrace a #web3 #fediverse future at #Mastodon and @write_as. https://write.as/81zbo41t8vo4v132.md


Na, das könnte lustig werden:

"Europeans risk seeing social media services Facebook and Instagram shut down this summer, as Ireland's privacy regulator doubled down on its order to stop the firm's data flows to the United States."

Picuki als Protokoll für Friendica?


!Friendica Support #Picuki scheint mir die einzige Plattform zu sein, die #Instagram (im Gegensatz nicht nur zu #Bibliogram) bislang nicht erfolgreich daran hindert, deren Content für Nicht-Mitglieder zur Verfügung zu stellen.
Wie wäre es, Picuki als weiteres Protokoll für den Feed zur Verfügung zu stellen, um Instagram-Inhalte verfolgen zu können?
Hierzu habe ich auch bei Github einen Beitrag eröffnet.


Marcus Mengs posted HTTP dumps from #Instagram mobile app that collects and sends to Meta the following details:
  • SSID and BSSID of all local WiFi networks, including yours
  • BLE beacons
  • Detailed GPS (!) location
