The rise of Dana White, from UFC to Trump ally and Meta's board

'It's digital colonialism': how Facebook's free internet service has failed its users
Free Basics, built for developing markets, focuses on ‘western corporate content’ and violates net neutrality principles, researchers sayOlivia Solon (The Guardian)
FediPact is now, unambiguously, an antifascist struggle.
To be sure, it's not the most most important front; not when we see, for example, the bureaucratic precursors to literal trans genocide. But it's not unimportant either.
There's been a lot of talk around here about the fediverse being a holdout and refuge in an age of fascist capture of capitalist social media. That can and should be true - but is actually not, so long as the Zuckerberg entity continues to be provided the power to manipulate the future of ActivityPub.
Don't assume that the current status quo will hold or that the threat is waning. Don't assume that Meta will not advance its fediverse integration beyond the current, bizarrely stunted joke of a bridge. Don't forget that they always unilaterally force the next step on us as a sudden surprise with no advance warning.

Meta testet Werbung in Threads in den USA und Japan
Nachdem Threads jetzt über mehr als 300 Millionen im Monat aktive Nutzer verfügt, starten erste Werbemaßnahmen. Zunächst in den USA und Japan.
Research question for those of you who came to the #fediverse after mostly using mainstream #socialMedia like #youtube #instagram #facebook #tiktok #Twitter etc--
what was the final straw that finally got you to make an account here?
Did it take you a while to figure out how the fediverse works, or did you take to it right away?
Do you still use mainstream social media? How often do you post there vs here?
And finally, what is your level of tech expertise? Were/are you already a tech expert (programmer, web developer, "protocol user," whatever you want to call it)?
Anyone used #Friendica? My wife @redbunhead.bsky.social discovered it when I told her about #Pixelfed.
I left #Facebook ~8yr ago & then #twitter for #mastodon. She’s on #FB & #Instagram & is exploring #BlueSky. We both just joined #Substack.
We’re looking for good decentralized social networks that aren’t owned by billionaires. I miss the FB feel sometimes, so any info on Friendica is appreciated.
Wife would also appreciate tips on choosing a Pixelfed server.
@viennawriter wrote a wonderful blog post about "the myth of reach" a year ago. Highly recommended for everyone struggling to leave big tech social media.

happy #internationalWomensDay, the one day per year that all the #mainstream #socialMedia platforms (#youtube, #instagram, #facebook, #tiktok, etc etc etc) pretend to support #womensEquality, even as "what #gender you look like" is used to determine whether you're allowed to be visible with no shirt on or not 🙃

☣️ Posted today: Video overview of massive moderation failure across all #Meta networks filled with criminal activity and abuse.
Yet somehow countless #MastoAdmin folks still think we need to "give them the benefit of the doubt" and "wait and see".
We have seen more than enough abuse to exclude them. For nearly two decades.
📺 Watch "Facebook is a Cesspool of Fraud, Fake Accounts, Scams and Worse":
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.

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?
#Help
“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…”

IT ISN'T THE SAME FUCKING WEBSITE! 🤬
I do understand #Google cross-login between apps because they're all under the same

domain, so cookies can work across apps, but between facebook.com

? I hate it.

What the f***? This is crazy!
I have now told them to delete my account and I also deleted my #Facebook account.
