Okay, I'm going to say it because I'm tired of keeping it in.

Like, I get that not many people know of alternatives besides big social media i.e. Bluesky, Meta Platforms, and Xcuseme (I'm not calling it X, nor am I calling it Twitter as it's not the Twitter I remember). Part of the fact that they still have a lot of users is that more people know about them and many don't know what they're really up to when you're on their platforms. That's all well and fine.

But is it really a surprise when they act like an overarching force and remove posts that they don't agree with? Like come on. That's not a surprise at all.

Part of it is because the fact that not many people know about the Fediverse/Mastodon (no, not Bluesky's fake Fediverse called AT).

But for the people who thought that they were fine on Bluesky as well because they were "also" supposedly "decentralised"? Yeah, we all know how that went. The point of decentralisation is that one group can't decide what you see. And that is what is effectively happening with Bluesky, despite their claims to the contrary. And they really lost my trust after the whole "Waffles" Singal controversy.

What's the takeaway here? We should really get more people onto decentralised systems.

Question: how do we convince people who claim to #Resist to ditch #Meta & its apps? (talking to you over there on #Threads )

Do people realize that when they give their $, data, & attention to these apps owned by these #ACO techbros, that they are helping fund this fascist regime & its agenda?

some tech is difficult to transition from, but not meta apps or ex-twitter. why is anyone who's #AntiFascist still on them?

let the fascists & their appeasers hang

„In Brasilien bewegt eine mögliche Einflussnahme des Facebook-Konzerns Meta im Wahlkampf weiter die Öffentlichkeit. Die brasilianische Zeitung "Folha de S. Paulo" meldet unter Berufung auf ihr vorliegende interne Kommunikation, Mitarbeiter von Meta hätten eingeräumt, die Instagram-Konten des Präsdenten Luiz Inàcio Lula da Silva vorübergehend eingeschränkt zu haben. Stattdessen seien das Profil von Lulas Herausforderer Flávio Bolsonaro sowie dessen Kanal bei Metas Messengerdienst Whatsapp von der Plattform empfohlen worden.

Der Konzern selbst teilte hingegen mit, die in dem Bericht genannten technischen Probleme seien längst öffentlich bekannt.“

I feel like #Meta and #Twitter muting #NoKings is going to drive folks from their platform and to the fediverse. I'll be interested to see mastodon active user counts over the next several weeks.

More than 125 people opposing Meta's AI data centre's development permit went before the Alberta Land and Property Rights Tribunal last week.

Sturgeon County, the municipal county just outside Edmonton welcomed the project without any public input or hearing.

In fact, the whole thing was so secret that Meta's name could not even be used until after the permit was approved under the code name "Project Frost."

The county's lawyer argued it had done nothing wrong and those appealing had not provided evidence to justify going ahead with the hearing.

The quasi-judicial panel, increased from three to five members due to the scale of the project and the large number of appellants, heard arguments from both sides.

I was there reporting for The Energy Mix.

What we’re up against in the U.S. during this election.

Yesterday:

1. Meta closed the No Kings accounts on the day of the protest. Restored them later, saying “our bad.” But did not restore admin privileges.

2. We learned that millions of people had no idea about the protests because Meta suppressed posts about it.

3. Bluesky closed the Democracy Now account for “unusual activity.” (No idea if it has been restored.)

And for months we’ve been watching the fascists do everything in their power to restrict voting rights.

The billionaires know they’re the minority. Not economically (which is obvious) but ethically. Otherwise they wouldn’t be working so hard to stop democracy.

Most Americans are good people. We’re fighting for what’s right. But our enemy has massive resources and control. That what we need to quell.

Keep fighting. Stay vigilant. And for fuck’s sake, vote!

Why Hunterbrook is shorting Meta: https://hntrbrk.com/breaking-news/muse-tickertrends

A word of explanation: Hunterbrook is a team of investigative journalists in the employ of a private-capital fund. The journalists dig up dirt on some company or investment offering, Hunterbrook (the investment company) shorts it, then then Hunterbrook (the web site) publishes the dirt. While this sounds sketchy, it’s apparently legal.

Downloads of Meta’s Muse — the product CEO Mark Zuckerberg called “the centerpiece of our vision” — are down 8.1% week-over-week. Muse still has fewer than three million daily active users, far lower than Threads had at this point in its launch to compete with X. Growth in DAUs has slowed from an average daily net increase of 198,000 in late September to just 74,000 in the first week of October — a 62.4% slowdown. App-review volume also fell. Combined Android and iOS reviews averaged about 674 a day in the week ending October 7, down 11.6% from the prior week. Hunterbrook previously reported that Muse could endanger privacy, including systematically identifying members of vulnerable groups. Meta did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.

I just realized that the biggest stories in my world at the moment are war satellites being throttled by one billionaire in cooperation with a billionaire president to punish a democratic country and mass protest visibility being throttled by another billionaire who runs the world’s largest private electronic news platform and it’s like damn, I really am living in the future I always expected.

JPDATE, OCT. 17, 3:29 PM ET The No Kings Instagram account has been reactivated, but administrators have not yet regained We now know that Meta pulled down the account. For approximately 90 minutes, Meta did not respond to our team, even as the account was offline at the peak of our national day of action and livestream. The account is now viewable again, and Meta told us in their response email that they made a bad call. However, administrators are still unable to access the account, blocking our ability to post about an ongoing day of mass action for early voting. Meta is currently not allowing the team to log in using the No Kings email address originally associated with the account. The team is troubleshooting that issue now. This is not OK.

#censorship #shadowbanning #Meta

I need to put this long post I made on #meta here, because it is on independent media like the #Fediverse where I learned about those who were too strongly principled to vote in the 2024 US election, and why. In my rage at the election result, I was not nice to them. My apologies would fall on deaf ears if it were not posted here. I won't post the responses I got on FB as my continued "rebuttals" should basically explain what was said to me. Suffice it to say, it was NASTY. I was accused of many hateful things, simply for stating something that wasn't within somebody else's ideological viewpoint. This was my post:

Real story here, she ran as the "Top Cop" and running mate to "Genocide Joe". Americans wanted somebody unlike a Republican, not a lighter form of one! Democrats, like Liberals, think they can keep winning as Conservative-lite.

I still believe Bernie Sanders could have prevented the US from decending into chaos, had the party kept him instead of instilling "Genocide Joe" as the option.

Canada, our day of reckoning is coming too. Mark Carney is tearing up worker rights and environmental protections, and pushing through austerity budgets for the benefit of the wealthiest few.

But our country is not QUITE as two-party as the US. The NDP leadership race ovwewhelmingly REJECTED the idea of staying "Liberal-lite", and voted to forge a new path for the 99%.

(Edit to add the history for those who don't know it: Trump did not gain any votes in 2024, he lost votes from 2020. The USA didn't suddenly become more racist. What changed is that the Democrats lost over 6 million votes. Meanwhile, Democrats openly stated that they BOYCOTTED the election because, in their words, they could not in good conscious vote for Joe Biden or his administration because of genocidal policies. This was PLANNED. They obviously aren't voting for Trump, so they didn't vote at all. Polls showed that Democrats, both voters and Elected Representatives were strongly, by at least 85%, against the genocide that the Administration was supporting. In short, it was the ADMINISTRATION which Harris was a part of that got boycotted. This was NOT PERSONAL to her, and applied to Joe Biden even more than her. It was NOT sexist.

"Genocide Joe" was the nickname dubbed by these voters. "Top Cop" was the nickname that Kamala Harris took on HERSELF, through her own campaign. These are not my personal opinions, they are documented history.)

I also need to point out that I heard more about the voting boycott AFTER the vote than before it. That means that people were so strong in their moral convictions that they were willing to stand up and take the blame for Donald Trump, just to send a message that they will not accept the "second best" genocider. I don't think people who can simply ignore tens of thousands of children being murdered can understand such conviction. This is why I softened my feeling about what happened over time, and started to sympathize with them. We need to stand firm in solidarity, I'm learning this.

So let's TALK about what really happened here, because those 6 million voters (okay, maybe some had voter apathy and weren't taking a stand, but we'll say 6 million to keep it simple) put the country at great risk for one reason only: It was the only way they saw to end a continual downward spiral which would take both parties down with it. So people can know that we need REAL OPTIONS, NOT BONES. If you say that genocide support had nothing to do with what happened in the 2024 election, you are killing that voice, and supporting the status quo to continue dragging both parties to the right. In Canada, we are privileged because we can learn from this lesson, see how close we've come to it ourselves, without actually having to live through the worst case scenario (Trump or Poilievre in power). PLEASE do not let that lesson go to waste.

EDIT: I did not want this to be a long post, but some people have strong opinions that "people are just awful, so of course racism and misogyny is the answer" and can't separate the facts from opinions. So let's flesh this out, with verifiable fact as the foundation:

First, we need to understand that those who would not vote for Harris were DEMOCRAT voters, not Republican voters. The numbers show a shortfall of well over 6 million voters from the 2020 elections, and both Republicans and Democrats took a loss from the low voter turnout, but the Republicans barely lost any votes while the Democrats lost massively.

Those who wouldn't vote for Kamala Harris were not voting for Trump. They just weren't voting. That part we know as a fact. Where the opinions come in is in their reason for not voting.

Now everything I added in paranthesis is "fact-based". It's all observed history and opinions spoken by those involved at the time. Nobody interviewed 6 million voters and asked why did they not vote for Kamala Harris, though those who claim it was racism and misogyny seem to speak as if this survey was conducted. However, we DID have a large number of people who spoke out about their reasons and convictions, before and after the vote. This took tremendous courage to do so after the vote, as they were admitting to allowing Trump to win, and they were shamed and outcast for it. Nonetheless, they still spoke out because their convictions that they "could not in good conscience vote for another genocide-enabler" was much stronger than the shame and consequences. These are the facts.

So the opinions now are divided on two sides: Those who believe the voices of those who spoke out about their moral convicitions and principles, against those who believe that Democrats (not Republicans) are racists and misogynists, and there can be no other reason.

Looking at those facts, the answer is clear to me. However, that does not mean there couldn't be more evidence that hasn't been seen. Is there actually evidence of Democrats saying that "I can't vote for a Black woman"? Besides "we all know"? None that I have seen. However, there are many Democrats who DID, ON RECORD, state that "I cannot in good conscience vote for another genocide-enabler" or that "I did not show up to vote because... (same as above)". Many bravely spoke out to that effect. So from where I stand, there is only evidence for the one opinion, and only ideology to back the other. I choose an evidence-based informed opinion, and reject an opinion based on ideological stance.

If you have EVIDENCE to show that it was indeed misogyny and racism that made Kamala Harris lose the 2024 election and caused 6 million DEMOCRAT voters to not show up, then by all means share it. Until then, I stand with the position backed by facts and evidence, and will not condone personal attacks based on an ideological position.

I also have one last thing to add.... I AM SORRY! To those I was involved in shaming for their part in letting Trump win, I APOLOGIZE! I see your solidarity now. I understand it now. I have grown.

Seeing how vehemently people are trying to twist what you did, makes me realize its importance.

So ever since yesterday, I have been playing around with you another AI app. I'm sure most of you know about it by now. It is called muse. After downloading and installing it, I chose to rename the app to Juno which is in one of the options when you set it up you get to set a customized name for it. At first I thought it would just be another AI search engine among the many, but there are certain things that I discovered about it that really make it useful in my opinion the first one and the most important one I think, is the fact that I can really build a customized news feed of the stuff I am interested in filtering out everything else. I can also have it check my email, right up stuff, the list goes on. I am a little disappointed it's not integrated with the meta glasses yet, but it seems like that is something they are working on. #ai #accessibility hashtag assistive technology #blind hashtag visually impaired #talkback #android #meta #news #fediverse

Meta GitHub Breach Exposes Source Code and Personal Data

Meta is notifying approximately 1,500 people after attackers used stolen employee credentials to access its GitHub repositories and steal software code and some personal information.

According to reports, approximately 99% of the stolen material was business data, while the remaining 1% contained personal information that had been mistakenly stored in the repositories.

Key takeaways for security teams:

• Stolen employee credentials remain a serious threat, even when systems have no known software vulnerability.

• Enforce multifactor authentication and least-privilege access across developer platforms.

• Scan repositories continuously for exposed personal information, API keys, tokens, and other secrets.

• Rotate compromised credentials immediately and investigate suspicious repository activity.

• Strengthen data governance to prevent sensitive information from entering source control in the first place.

This incident reinforces an important security principle: protecting the development environment requires more than securing the code itself. Identity management, credential hygiene, and continuous monitoring are equally critical.
