"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.

The Facebook Logout — We're really over Facebook
From allowing white supremacists to plan a violent insurrection to ignoring disinformation for profit, Facebook is doing their worst. So we’re doing the thing that will get Facebook’s attention: logging out.The Facebook Logout
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that some NS actually went down due to the tenfold pressure and traffic.
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?

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
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/
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.
