A search for #democrat turns up zero results. A search #Republican shows many results. According to the clock in the corner, these photos were taken at 12:01 AM on Jan 21st, 2025.


One of many notable takeaways from 'Careless People':

The creators and top execs of Meta do not allow their own children on it.

Think about that.

I’ve been playing with #Friendica, running in web mobile mode with #Bookface UI.

If this app ever gets a dedicated mobile client, it’s likely to become the next breakout #SocialWeb platform. It really does offer most of what you want in a #Facebook-like service.

Events? It has that. Groups? It has that too. The only thing that’s actually missing is a marketplace feature. However, someone could probably build that too.

However, once a mobile app is made, I have no doubt we’ll see lots of adoption.

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.

Warum das Argument, man müsse in sozialen Netzwerken bleiben, um Opposition zu leisten, völliger Unsinn ist.


"Das Argument, man könne Plattformen wie X oder TikTok nicht verlassen, weil es sonst an »Widerspruch« und »Opposition« fehle, ist aus mehreren Gründen nicht haltbar – es ist schlicht völliger Bullshit. Es beruht auf einer falschen Annahme darüber, wie diese Plattformen funktionieren und welche Auswirkungen die eigene Präsenz dort tatsächlich hat." (Mike Kuketz)

it actually happened... Facebook has declared any discussions of LINUX on a Cyber Security Filter to Be Blocked

[l] Entwarnung! Die Malware-Epidemie ist vorbei! Facebook filtert jetzt Linux-Meldungen weg. Damit ist der War on Ter, … äh Malware endlich gewonnen!

[l] Meta hat alle Facebook-User auto-Follower von Donald Trump gemacht. Wer unfollowt, wird direkt wieder Follower.

Und auf Instagram konnte man nicht mehr nach Democrats suchen.

Bedauerliches Softwareproblem, da bin ich mir sicher. Da kann niemand was für. Ist wie schlechtes Wetter oder Waldbrände in Kalifornien.

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.

Es fehlt eine gute Alternative zu #Facebook im #Fediverse. In meinem Umfeld wird Facebook vor allem über Gruppen zu verschiedenen Themen genutzt, quasi als Forenplattform. Ich liebe #Mastodon, aber es ist im Nutzungsschema keine Alternative zu Facebook für viele. #Friendica kann das auch nur rudimentär, soweit ich das sehe und #Diaspora spricht kein #ActivityPub. Habt ihr eine Idee, wohin man die Leute empfehlen sollte?


Where our social media - and press - seem to be heading, much faster than we could all imagine ...

The presenter to the left turns to the three competitors and says "Sorry Arthur, your answer was actually correct, but Paul shouted his opinion louder so he gets the points. And an extra bonus point goes to Sue as she was offended by your answer"


Zapewne zupełnym przypadkiem na moim profilu na Facebooku nie widać posta, w którym linkowałem do polskiego tłumaczenia tekstu o tym, jak Meta przyczyniła się do ludobójstwa w Mjanmie. Mogę go znaleźć w dzienniku swojej aktywności, ale na samym profilu brak.

#Facebook #Meta


Anyone know of a #SelfHosted alternative to #Facebook Groups that would be suitable for a neighborhood’s residents to post on and use to stay in contact? At least around here, Facebook Groups seem to be the norm and #Nextdoor also gets used a lot, but I’d rather run something than use either.



"Facebook snooped on users’ Snapchat traffic in secret project, documents reveal"

Das ist vorsätzliches Umgehen von Sicherheitsmaßnahmen und eine illegale Überwachung/Spionage. Wer Meta/Facebook noch in irgendeiner Weise vertraut, der sollte sich gut überlegen, was Vertrauen für ihn bedeutet.

Mastodon.social rolling out the red carpet for Threads is like an independent shop inviting a supermarket to set up next door.

But what’s done is done. And I’ve wasted enough words on this whole sorry affair over the last year.

So this is the last you’ll hear about it from me. When, eventually, you’re writing your “what went wrong?” articles, feel free to look up what I’d written on the issue back when.

I created an account on the Fediverse
*because* it is not Facebook,
*because* it is different,
*because* it is better,
*because* it doesn’t have ads,
*because* it is more respectful of its users,
*because* it doesn’t have an algorithm deciding what I see,
and *because* is has much better ethics and moderation.

I really hope it stays that way :facebook: :nes_fire:

Millions Of #google #whatsapp #Facebook #2FA #Security Codes #Leak Online

Security experts advise against using SMS messages for two-factor authentication codes due to their vulnerability to interception or compromise. Recently, a security researcher discovered an unsecured database on the internet containing millions of such codes, which could be easily accessed by anyone.

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. ^_^

In fact I'm using bzip2 in a lot of places, like log compression because it's usually the best comp/time ratio. Well, unless considering zstd but it's not well supported yet. Oh and thanks #Facebook? ☺️



But, hey, I might be wrong and the #W3C now fully believes in its new ethical web principles. In which case, they will no doubt take action and expel members that only exist because their business model relies on violating them.

#Google is fundamentally incompatible with the W3C’s ethical web principles and should be expelled from the W3C as it relies on violating section 2.5 (The web must…respect people’s privacy).

Also, §2.2 (The web should not cause harm to society).

Ditto #Facebook, etc.



☣️ :facebook: 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.

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.
