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."

Facebook lost daily users for the first time ever last quarter

"The massive stock drop, which instantly wiped out roughly $200 billion in market value, shows that Facebook’s corporate rebrand to Meta isn’t enough to distract investors from the problems in its core business of social media. "

This giant is going to have a very very long and slow fall, but I can't help but feel like it is mostly a question of when and not if.

Ugh had to set up a #Facebook and #Instagram account today. I hate that it's the easiest way to find travel groups and activities. :/

Interesting #Facebook boycott taking place on Nov 10, this time asking users to log out, rather than asking advertisers

That is what nameservers see when #facebook bites the dust.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that some NS actually went down due to the tenfold pressure and traffic.

Today I noticed there are not many businesses in #Diaspora. It is a blessing, I know, but I think it is a curse, too.

I recall in the early 2010s how, as #Facebook allows companies to open "fan pages", businesses of every size gave those guys a lot of free advertising while they asked their clients to "follow them on Facebook".

This makes me ask myself a few things:
  • How welcoming would Diaspora users would be with business accounts? It is extremely easy to avoid spam by ignoring users on this social network. Would you give them a chance without frowning?
  • Facebook is dying (don't believe me, see it by yourself) so this could be a nice moment to promote Diaspora to others (just to see what happens, at the very least). Am I being naïve?
  • What if someone opened a pod for businesses in Diaspora, just as someone opened one for former Google+ users?
Some random thoughts. Let me know what you think.

So, I'm checking the #FacebookLeak, some people in there doesn't even have a FB account. But it turns out they have a WhatsApp one. In the leaked data WhatsApp users' ID seem to start with 1000. It also includes gender, which is not something one declares when registering on WhatsApp.
Remember that the leak is supposed to be from 2019. That tell us that, 2 years ago, #Facebook was already linking whatsapp data inside Facebook, even when you don't have a FB account, and pushing data from facebook to your #WhatsApp data, like the gender. Two ways binding.

If you're in the EU and #Facebook leaked your data, you're eligible to join Digital Rights Ireland in suing the fuckers. DRI have a phone-number checker for you to see if you were affected:

🤔 Perhaps if your company has to spend $23,000,000 USD per year for CEO personal security, just maybe you're doing something wrong for the society that gives you permission to operate a corporation. #Facebook

:fediverse: This seems like a good time for us all to remind our friends that this is the Internet, and they don't have to settle for isolated corporate-controlled communication surveillance-gardens that sell privacy for profit. #Facebook #WhatsApp

lol, when I send the article about the #Facebook leak to my parents who are on Facebook they’re reaction was; ‘meh’




Content warning: australia and facebook


Let's say I wanted to hook up a town with lots of #facebook #boomers on the Fediverse by creating a server, which platform would you recommend? #Pleroma? #Mastodon? #Friendica? Another one?


With each new #Facebook scandal like the recent WhatsApp-related one, the #Fediverse welcomes a wave of new users and admins. #Friendica gets its tiny share of the newly converted to decentralized social media. Some stick, most don't, but there's always this one guy (it's always a man) whose first few messages on GitHub are to angrily complain that Friendica isn't user-friendly enough and that it is spelling doom for a project they didn't know the day before and for the #Fediverse as a whole.

This has been going on ever since I joined the project in 2016, and we're still here. 🤷‍♂️



Hello wo… I mean, um, here we go again


As for #facebook alternatives the list isn't that long: diaspora is one, friendica is other, and... um...

So it seems I shall rather update the instance and get it for good public use. People are getting booted from FB in raising frequency.


Don't loose posts from rare posters anymore!


I had a problem with #Friendica, compared to Faceshit. I constantly read posts by only the most frequently posting accounts. And others were just lost on the timeline.

So I made a little script. Idea is to group contacts by posting frequency into couple of groups created just for this purpose, like "rare", "very rare" and "frequent". I run this script from time to time to automatically move contacts between these groups.

Script is written in Red, you can check the language out here: http://www.red-lang.org/

@Friendica Support #fediverse #facebook



Today is #Fediverse12, the 12th birthday of the first post published on the #Fediverse by @Evan Prodromou on #Identica.

Back in late 2016 I'm glad the #Fediverse (comprising OStatus/ActivityPub-compatible social networks) and the #Federation (comprising Diaspora-compatible social networks) welcomed me when my #Facebook account was frozen and I was (and still am) too stubborn to give in to their demand to give me back access to it.

I've been contributing to #Friendica ever since, mostly through dogfooding through my own single-user node.

Happy Birthday to us and thank you to everyone who has contributed or still is contributing to this mind-boggling common project.


Guess who has two thumbs and won't be using #Giphy anymore because it was bought by #Facebook?

👍😞👍
