I guess they weren't aware that the person you block gets notified of the block?

It's funny because I have to send someone a message like that because the Morel Orels who wrote Snac don't believe in allowing you to block people, since muting them is much more polite and totally not sneaky at all. But everyone else pretty much can do a straight out Block.

Honestly I think you should be able to supply a helpful message explaining your Block, in whatever creative curse words people want to use.

Vergangenes Jahr habe ich meine Zelte bei #meta abgebrochen und alle privaten Accounts gelöscht. Auch WhatsApp. Die meisten Kontakte erreichte ich über @signalapp, wenige altmodisch über SMS.

Der Gruppenchat mit den Kolleg:innen war bis gestern auf WhatsApp. Seit letztem Jahr ohne mich und es war okay. Gestern wurde im Team entschieden zu Signal zu wechseln.

If anyone wants an no frills way to redirect instagram to imginn (privacy alternative anonymous instagram viewer), this is much easier than setting up reverse proxies and in browser redirects, especially if you keep your bookmarks synced.

Save this code as the url of a new bookmark (bookmarklet) and name it something like "Insta Redirect":

```
javascript:(function(){var%20url=window.location.href;if(url.indexOf('instagram.com')!==-1){var%20newUrl=url.replace('instagram.com','imginn.com');newUrl=newUrl.replace(/[?&]hl=[^&]+/g,'');newUrl=newUrl.replace(/\?&/,'?').replace(/\?$/,'');window.location.href=newUrl;}})();
```

Whenever you land on an instagram page just select this new bookmark(let) and it will redirect you. So now you can view that restaurants menu without being asked to make an account -- until all these businesses get off Meta apps. -_-

Additionally, here's one for x/twitter links to redirect to xcancel.com (x/twitter privacy alternative):

```
javascript:(function(){ const url = window.location.href; const newUrl = url.replace(/(x\.com|twitter\.com)/, "xcancel.com"); window.location.href = newUrl; })();
```

Facebook considers giving up and becoming TikTok

Facebook announced they will begin testing a “reimagined experience” later this year that will put a subset of users into a “full-screen video the moment they open the app.”

Sometimes bullying works!

Last Tuesday Meta launched a feature that would let users generate AI slop using content from public Instagram accounts without the account owners' permission.

The backlash was so immediate and enormous that four days later Meta ditched the feature.

As much as it sometimes feel we have no say over anything anymore, clearly, we do!

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their Al models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

It's going to be hard to prove the connection to the platforms.

"The four teens who died by suicide each experienced harms including social media addiction, severe sleep deprivation, depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation after years of using the social platforms, the complaint states."

The companies being blamed for this are Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube.

“There’s a way to do it that makes sense and the way that Alberta is doing it doesn’t really line up with best practices that we’re seeing across the world.”

#Meta ( #Threads ) is partnering w/ the fascist propaganda factory Newsmax to train its AI on their racist, bigoted, fascist bile.

Do you think this will encourage influential people to stop enabling these maleficent tech bros by giving them their data, their influence, & the data of their followers?

Will any have the courage to leave Threads for the anti-oligarch, antifascist #fediverse here at #Mastodon ?

"A $4.6 billion income loss due to Reality Labs alone this quarter?"

PC Gamer: Meta is still flinging the equivalent of a small country's annual GDP down the Reality Labs money pit each and every quarter https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/vr-hardware/meta-is-still-flinging-the-equivalent-of-a-small-countrys-annual-gdp-down-the-reality-labs-money-pit-each-and-every-quarter/ #Meta

📉 Інфляція в США сповільнюється, але залишається вищою за ціль ФРС. Улюблений індикатор Федрезерву — PCE — уперше з часів пандемії знизився, хоча й незначно. Водночас ВВП у другому кварталі виріс лише на 1,5% річних, що менше за очікування. Це класичне поєднання для ринку: уповільнення економіки + все ще висока інфляція.

Паралельно Meta впала на 10% після слабкого звіту, а аналітики Piper Sandler попереджають, що торгівля Magnificent 7 «імовірно завершена». Капітал перетікає в інші сектори. Microsoft, навпаки, зростає на рекордному хмарному доході. Ринок стає вибірковим — загальна ейфорія змінюється диференціацією.

Золото вперше перетнуло $4,100 на тлі паузи ФРС. Історично такі рівні сигналізують про пошук інвесторами захисту. Для українського інвестора — час переглянути баланс портфеля в бік якості.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mercies/116999039542189806

The question I have is: What’s the final straw for people/businesses/orgs using meta platforms still? Businesses across the board still rely on it for reach, or at least instagram in particular, and I still imagine they’ll cling onto it despite the dwindling numbers and lack of defined alternatives. WhatsApp also still dominates for messaging in many countries.
