#Meta is already encrappifying the #Fediverse with their NDA shenanigans.

What an awful awful corporation it is.


@antimeta is here monitoring now if you'd like to follow it. I've got it running manually for the moment, but I'm gonna cron the script on our server locally to run every evening at 0000 UTC to check for meta domains.

Give it a follow if you wanna.

Only just spotted this.
Twenty #NHS trusts are sharing intimate details about patients’ medical conditions, appointments & treatments with #Facebook without consent and despite promising never to do so.
"The data includes granular details of pages viewed, buttons clicked and keywords searched. It is matched to the user’s IP address – an identifier linked to an individual or household – and in many cases details of their Facebook account"

Do you want #Meta to be blocked on *your* server when/if they #federate with #ActivityPub?

Meta aka Instagram is working on a Twitter competitor that is rumored to be ActivityPub compatible.

If you run a fediverse instance (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Calckey and others), would you ban a Meta instance?

@Casey Newton writes that Facebook/Meta is now trying to get on the "decentralized network" bandwagon greenwashing too. It is always fascinating to me how very not decentralized all of these things end up looking: from the web3 nonsense, to BlueSky, to now whatever the hell they plan on calling this. "Well you see akshully the technology allows for decentralization therefore it is decentralized even though we control 99.9% of it!" You know what else is a decentralized technology? The world wide web and HTTP. Hopefully the fediverse fix some of our shortcoming before the world buys the techbro bullshit so they can get another successful market monopoly operation. #facebook #meta #SurveillanceCapitalism #decentralization #fediverse https://www.platformer.news/p/meta-is-building-a-decentralized


You have nothing to hide until the government suddenly declares your behaviour illegal. #abortion #usa #meta #facebook #google #e2ee #encryption

Meta: 3-4% of users’ feeds is #news.

Pew: 31% of American adults say they regularly get news from Facebook.

So either #Meta and Americans define news differently, the small amount of news shared on #Facebook has an outsized impact, or likely, a bit of both.

That said, during the last two multi-hour Facebook outages, direct and total visitors to our legacy local news sites went up.

It’s more evidence that communities will seek out impactful content.

Proposed resolution:

When Tumblr joins the fediverse by implementing ActivityPub, we should:
- Defederate Tumblr if they inject ads into the federation for our users, and
- Defederate Tumblr if they place federated posts (our posts) alongside ads.

No ads on fedi.

Honestly I'm starting to feel that Mastodon is the most convincing emerging Twitter competitor simply because people are blatantly intentionally pretending to misunderstand it as a means of identity formation and value signalling in a way that they're not doing with any of the other next-gen (or legacy) services #TwitterMigration #meta


The self-induced problem with trying to post in both English and Italian is: do I think in English and then translate to Italian? vice versa? or write more or less the same thing, but thinking it natively in the language I'm writing, which will result in subtle differences in the text?

Il problema autoindotto nel cercare di postare sia in inglese che italiano è: pensare in inglese e traduco in italiano? viceversa? o scrivere più o meno la stessa cosa, ma pensandola nativamente nella lingua in cui sto scrivendo, col risultato di avere sottili differenze nel testo?
