Isometric pixel art of a Facebook logo "f" with thick tentacles reaching into human heads.

It occurred to me just now that I never was a part of the algorithmic social media platform (be it Twitter, Facebook, or otherwise…), I only used twitter via third-party app and never had the algorithm shoved into my eyes. When Twitter killed apps, I moved to #Mastodon.

I watched everyone I know fall into that it though. Nothing I ever told them about how unhealthy it was ever seems to land properly.

🤖🥸✨ #meta has started doing #AIimpersonation: #instagram is posting #AIslop written in first person and pretending it is written by you, like this:

»Follow along as I share my story and insights on rebuilding, self-care, and finding happiness after divorce.«

are you still on #instagram?

I totally second this…

"Austrian Supreme Court (OGH): Meta must provide full access to all personal data of user within 14 days, including the sources, recipients and purposes for which each information was used. All of Meta's claims of trade secrets or other limitations were rejected, leading to unprecedented access to the inner workings of Meta. Meta was also illegally collecting data from third party apps and websites and may only provide personalised advertisement if a user provided “specific, informed, unambiguous and freely given” consent. Meta must also ensure that data revealing sensitive information (such as political views, sexual orientation, or health) is not processed together with other data unless a valid legal basis according to Article 9(2) GDPR applies. Meta may not avoid the application of Article 9 GDPR by arguing that it does not intentionally collect such data or that it cannot technically distinguish or segregate it. The case, brought by Max Schrems in 2014, originally lasted 11 years and hit the Austrian Supreme Court three times and the CJEU two times. Mr Schrems was awarded €500 in damages."

@AAKL Another question: why is Mozilla so fired up about putting #advertising features into the browser?

Currently they are working with #Meta on one ad feature and with #IndexExchange (an adtech firm) on another one

Ironically, the biggest joy I find in surfing Tik Tok is not knowing what is true or not. There’s a delightful expectation that most everything is made up, unlike other platforms that have ‘honest’ content or put on an honest face when flat out lying to you.

Alkaa olla kyllä selkeää, että Metan palveluista on poistuttava.

Eikös Fediversessä ollu vähän jotain Facebookin kaltaistakin palvelua jo?

Ja sit vielä, että miks mä en saa päivitettyä profiiliani Pixelfedissä? Profiiliteksti ei tallennu eikä profiilikuva 🤔

Facebook testaa ominaisuutta, jossa ulkopuolelle johtavia linkkejä voi jakaa vain kaksi per kuukausi. Jos haluaa jakaa useamman, se onnistuu maksamalla kympin kuukaudessa. Testejä on tehty USAssa ja Briteissä.

Ihan sama, millä hienoilta kuulostavilla lauseilla tätä selittävät Metan päässä, niin selvääkin selvempää on, että taas muille alustoille johdattamisesta rangaistaan. Aiempaa enemmän siis. Mulla ei ole enää profiilia Facebookissa, mutta kaveria olen auttanut Facebook-sivun ylläpidossa, jolla on vajaa 2000 seuraajaa. Linkit muualle saavat keskimäärin 5 reaktiota, kun esim. kuviin tulee helposti 200.

Jos tästä tulee kaikkia koskeva ominaisuus ja myös Suomeen, niin on aikamoiset vaikutukset esim. pienyrittäjien toimintaan, jos käytössä on vaikka Facebookin ulkoinen verkkokauppa. 10 euroa kuussa linkkien jakamisesta on melkoinen hinta, vaikka siihen kuuluisi "hieno" sininen täppä.

Jos ominaisuus toteutuu, niin toivottavasti se saisi yhä useamman hakeutumaan muualle ja huomaamaan, että esim. Mastodonissa ja Friendicassa linkkejä voi jakaa niin paljon kuin sielu sietää. 😄

👀 From the Verge's interview with Connor Hayes, the head of Threads:

Threads still supports federation with other apps like Mastodon, but Hayes was clear that it’s not a top priority for the current roadmap. “It’s something that we’re supporting, it’s something that we’re maintaining, but it’s not the thing that we’re talking about that’s gonna help the app break out,” he said.

“As someone who has built a zillion consumer products, it’s just really hard to keep these divergent platforms and products consistent on the same protocol over time,” he explained. “There’s always going to be the trade-offs that these companies are thinking about of how much energy do I want to pour into compatibility with this ecosystem versus iterating on this thing I’m building and seeing what’s valuable.”

So wow, it's almost like Mark F---ing Zuckerberg was LYING when he talked about the importance of decentralization when Threads launched! Who, who could have predicted?

Although of course, they're Meta, they could well be lying again. So let's not get complacent here. Still, it's a good opportunity to take a moment to laugh at all the fediverse influencers who pointed to Threads adoption of ActivityPub as a huge victory for our cause -- and a key ingredient to fedi's success going forward. How'd that work out?

And let's also give credit where credit is due: @FediPact and everybody else who pushed back so strongly against Threads and made it clear that so many of us really don't want them here. They've got infinite resources, and If they were seeing value from the integration, they'd continue to push it. It sounds like they're not, at least for now. Good news!!!!

#FediPact #meta #threads

Facebook on lähettänyt osalle yritystilien haltijoista viestiä, että kyseinen Facebook-sivu voi jatkossa julkaista vain rajatun määrän linkkejä sisältäviä julkaisuja omalle Facebook-sivulleen

Rajoituksesta pääsee eroon tilaamalla maksullisen Meta Verified -lätkän.

Meta tests paid link sharing bor business pages. Some Facebook Pages may soon need to subscribe to Meta Verified to post more than two links per month.

#meta #facebook #zuckerberg

Meta is telling some Facebook users with professional pages that their link sharing will soon be restricted, unless they pay for the Meta Verified subscription, which costs between $14.99 and $499 per month. Those who don't pay up will be limited to sharing links in two organic posts a month. Here's more from Social Media Today (the story was first reported by @mattnavarra).
