Musta on alkanut tuntua siltä, et sen verran, mitä viime aikoina olen käynyt Instagramissa jotain julkaisemassa (tarinoiden puolella siis), niin enimmäkseen vaan valitan, mikä Metan alustoissa on vialla ja jaan uutislinkkejä tai kirjojen nimiä/otteita kirjoista, jotka puoltaa mun mussutuksia. 😅 Et ehkä tässä on jo toinen jalka kynnyksen toisella puolella valmiina lopulliseen poistumiseen, kun niin moni asia hiertää Instagramissakin, josta oon aiemmin tykännyt someista eniten.
Huvittaa myös, että nyt Instan Explore-näkymä on mulla täynnä vaan suosituksia, miten Instan algoritmin saa toimimaan omaksi edukseen, mitä kannattaa vuonna 2025 julkaista, miten saa mahd. paljon tykkäyksiä, jne. Ja mä en tommoisia tilejä edes seuraa tai ole muutenkaan kyseisistä julkaisuista kiinnostunut. 😄 Että yritetäänkös tässä nyt suositusten kautta käännyttää mua? 😂
Ja koska en ilmeisesti ole riittävän aktiivinen, niin olen alkanut saada kuvassaa näkyviä satunnaisia ilmoituksia. Näistä seuraan vain Helsinkiä, mutta en Threadsissä, koska ei ole tiliä siellä. Että vähän rasittaa saada ilmoituksia tileistä, joita en ole valinnut seurata. Taas yksi osoitus siitä, että Meta ei piittaa käyttäjänäkökulmasta. Pitäisköhän tästäkin käydä mussuttamassa Instassa? 😂

Kuvakaappaus Instagramista, jossa näkyy ilmoituksia eri tileiltä ja saatetekstinä: " jakoi julkaisun, josta saattaisit tykätä".
Feels pretty good to hit send on this reply. #Meta

Starting the process of moving away from #meta owned platforms is going to be hard, and IDK how to get other folks on here, but I love this space more than Bluesky or anything else really.
I like using #Signal for comms and stories, so I guess that part is figured out.

Paris' city council has passed a resolution requiring research into leaving billionaire social media, specifically, into setting up its own mastodon server. This is with an eye to the 2026 municipal elections, which they see under threat.
Call your municipal authority today to ask what they are doing to safeguard #democracy. If you don't call, who is supposed to?
Last month Meta announced plan for Project Waterworth, the 50,000-kilometer submarine cable that would link five continents and improve connectivity and technological development. But submarine cables can do more than enhance telecommunications. They can also keep us safe from threats like climate change and natural disasters. There are, however, some significant concerns, Cynthia Mehboob underscores for The Conversation. Plus, what year was the first undersea cable laid? It’s probably earlier than you think:
So yesterday's Instagram incident was revealing: Meta can suddenly flood feeds worldwide with extremely violent content (even to children), then fix it "at the flick of a switch."
Yet for years they've insisted that effectively filtering harmful content, removing misinformation, and protecting users' mental health is too technically complex and costly to implement.
If you ask me, what happened yesterday has proven what we've actually already known (not that they're trying to hide this anymore): Meta's moderation challenges aren't technical limitations—they're business decisions. When motivated, they can act instantly. Their selective enforcement speaks volumes about their actual priorities.
Tonight I read this excellent #Lemmy post
https://lemmings.world/post/21510510
regarding John Oliver's show night on the topic of "Facebook & Content Moderation".
https://youtu.be/nf7XHR3EVHo
#Meta #Facebook #ContentModeration #JohnOliver
The whole show is extremely informative about Meta, but being "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" there were quite a few f-bombs. Only watch the video if you really want the whole story and are not sensitive to the language. #fbomb #fbombs
John Oliver promoted this website:
"How to change your settings
to make yourself less valuable to Meta"
https://johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com/
I have already followed the steps.
The show also briefly mentioned #Signal, #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, and #BlueSky as Meta alternatives. #MetaAlternatives
Personally I am on the #Fediverse with #GoToSocial (same protocol as Mastodon - #ActivityPub) and #PixelFed.
As well as Lemmy, #Telegram, and #Matrix.
If you want information on these networks just ask me.
Like some I am still on Meta: Facebook and #Instagram because it's where many of our friends, family, and colleagues are, and don't plan leaving... yet. In the meantime we can lessen our value to Meta and their advertisers.
None of the alternatives I use have #advertisers or #algorithms. It's all #community driven, #funded, and guided by #hashtags and other means.
You are going to see more post that argue this is the world we live in and that this is the way things are. There is going to be a strong, but steady push against people thinking we can change things and that this is the new normal, and that you should just come to accept it. The idea is the belittle and dismiss people who stand against Trump and his worldview. You are going to see this on every social media platform.
I can now confirm that some Fedi sites were not blocked by Threads, simply because they may have been lacking a "Terms of Services" and "Privacy Policy". Some of you were blocked because you community was seen as not sharing the same vision for the future. It is why, even after having clear documentation, your Fedi site remained blocked.

... I am not having fun on Social Media much anymore.
Meta platforms are good for the occasional image that is out there, Instagram for the Bikini Models, and little else.
I used to admin forums and such for small niche communities and frankly I want back to that.
#Mastodon was the first try for me into the Fediverse. I have liked running my own instance and controlling it as I desire.
The PixelFed instance I finally finished seems pretty nice as a site to focus on my van project and the photography I plan to engage in as I travel.
I still haven't gotten the NodeBB forums up, but they are next on the list. Even if I don't end up with a lot of people taking part.
Sites are still on my agenda as well.
I just don't care for anything else about the big guys these days. Deleted my old Reddit and recreated an account just to comment on Fediverse and Vanlife mostly.
This is just me Ranting.
That’s right, Apple is building its own social network that competes head-to-head with #Meta.
And no, it’s not federated. But it exists.
https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/02/introducing-apple-invites-a-new-app-that-brings-people-together/
Because of X and Meta fucking things up once again, people are talking about abandoning social media, because there are no corporate free alternatives. Right.
idk how it flew over my head until now that this reply was from meta's engineering director xD
okay yeah they definitely know about fedipact lmfao

when the fedipact was in full effect a couple months ago, i counted 400 servers, or ~5.5% of users, that had agreed to defederate. i'd be curious to see the current distribution now that we have actually started federating.it is a loud vocal minority and i fully support their right to defederate. but at least seeing my masto feed and the replies to my federated post, it seems like the sentiment is generally positive! :)

Hi, I'm Jesse Chen 👋
Hello world! I'm an engineering director currently at Meta. I love building products and helping engineering organizations scale.
Welcome to my site, where I write sporadically about technology, finance, and career.
GLHF.
I've had such an influx of new followers and it does my heart a world of good. People are leaving other platforms and coming to Mastodon. It's so nice to see.
So, hello to all of the new peeps. You're welcome here. You'll find only new and good friendships, wholesomeness, and refuge from all those other places (that aren't so good these days). Hello!✌🏻
Are you following anyone on @threads.net?
I realize that Meta isn't even close to fully federating Threads, but I've yet to find anyone that I know IRL, any breweries, and it seems like very few reputable news sources have turned on fediverse sharing.
But at least we have @theonion
#Fediverse #ActivityPub #Mastodon #Meta #Threads #SocialMedia #beer #news #TheOnion
| Yes: | 0 |
| No: | 0 |
| I'm blocking the domain: | 0 |
| My instance is blocking the domain: | 0 |
And that scenario is actually plausible. They’d do it while Pixelfed is tiny in order to head off the threat.
Meta employee (@Linux_Is_Best) is urging everyone still using *any* Meta property to leave asap because "Internally, things are changing, and not for the better."

@mosseri@threads.net Adam,
You need to know that the changes in your moderation policy announced by your leadership is putting your relationship with the #Fediverse in serious jeopardy.
From the moment #Meta announced #Threads there was strong debate within the community on whether you could be a trusted actor in this space. I, against my own initial gut reaction (having deleted my FB profile in 2020 and never joined Insta due to family that have been harmed by it), decided to give the benefit of the doubt solely because I thought Thread’s entrance into the #ActivityPub universe gave that effort instant credibility with people and entities that would never have considered it important before.
But now, on the eve of the ascension and return of the most dangerous President the United States has ever produced, at the height of a rise in regressive action and policy that puts people in direct danger, your company has chosen to double down.
No amount of earnest sounding words or tented, pensive, hands can mask what is going on here.
And the majority of the Fediverse is seeing it. Threads.net will reach blocking thresholds by @iftas soon, if it hasn’t already.
You are decidedly part of the problem, and always have been.
And that is why today, after giving you and the handful of people on Threads that I like and follow a chance ( @jakebroe@threads.net @gtconway3@threads.net @karaswisher@threads.net @stonekettle@threads.net @realjuddlegum@threads.net among others) I have to again cut away from Meta not because of them, but because of leaders like yourself who refuse to put the well being of all people ahead of political and ideological ambition.
I believe you and I agree on one thing, the #OpenSocialWeb is the future because it *is* freedom and that will always draw people away from oppressive spaces.
Long live the #Fediverse.
Cheers
Chris
People keep posting that Meta is blocking Pixelfed links. However, that's not the case anymore. They "fixed" it.
Woohoo, my phone just notified me that the new Pixelfed app is finally downloadable!

As the rejection continued, Supernault launched a campaign against Meta called the "Anti-Meta Fedi Pact" to express his rejection of Meta's entry into the decentralized digital world through its new project "Project 92", which is an independent social network competing with "Twitter" operating under the umbrella of "Instagram".
Threads is mocking AP users at this point.😒
Threads users can now "follow" Fediverse users that have replied to a post already existing on threads.
-Cant search for Fediverse users and follow them normally.
-Cant see Fediverse posts if they're not a reply, even if you follow.
-Cant reply or mention a Fediverse user
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN DO?!?!? 
Well...30 more days till I'll have to defederate from Threads for not fulfilling their promise of fully federating by the end of the year.
Will they pull it off? Doesn't seem likely at this point.😒🤦♂️
Proving us all right in the end, it seems.
An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse #meta #threads
