Key Points:
➡️ Meta is a controversial partner in the Social Web Foundation, raising concerns about its influence on the Fediverse.
➡️ The Fediverse has two models: growth Fediverse and movement Fediverse, each with different goals and values.
➡️ The growth Fediverse focuses on technical interoperability and network expansion.
➡️ The movement Fediverse emphasizes community dynamics, equity, and social activism.
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."

Anyone who goes through my post history, knows I work for Meta (Facebook). I am "Consumer Content Administrative Manager". My primary duties include content appeals, account appeals, account reviews, and some peer review. It is no surprise that my job depends on people using Facebook. Today, I am going to suggest, you not do so. I can make that suggestion because we have a user base of billions, and I know most people would keep using Facebook even if the Devil ran the company. People are strange. But if you feel you can truly live without Facebook, do so. Internally, things are changing, and not for the better. You should especially consider leaving Meta if you are a minority, woman, LGBTQ+, trans, or identify as progressive, politically. If facts matter to you, and misinformation is something you do not want to be subject toward, you should especially consider leaving, Facebook. You have no privacy from Meta, while using Meta. None. I do not care if you believe you disabled a "feature" or "opt out" of something. You only seem to have done so. And even if you're going to continue to use Meta, uninstall the app (all of them). We collect data on you, even when you're not using the app.

"Como se livrar do Instagram, WhatsApp e Facebook?" (Fabiana Moraes)
https://www.intercept.com.br/2025/01/20/como-se-livrar-do-instagram-whatsapp-e-facebook/
"É nesse ambiente conflagrado que a disputa pela comunicação vai continuar a acontecer. Por isso, em vez de gastarmos toda nossa energia – feminina, masculina, não-binária, vegetal, o que for – olhando apenas para a cara de Zuckerberg e seus colegas, talvez seja mais importante prestar máxima atenção no que coletivos como o Sargento Perifa estão fazendo e multiplicar tais estratégias.
Não tem salvação prometida, mas não é somente compartilhando nosso horror e insatisfação com as Meta da vida que vamos fazer diferença nesse jogo.
Os nossos dados eles já têm, agora é aprender (melhor) a produzir contra discurso a partir de dentro e de fora do próprio condomínio."

The same in english: Instagram seems to be blocking searches with anything #democrat related, because "The term you searched for may contain sensitive content". Even here in northern Europe. #republican searches work fine.
This is how it begins. Information censoring and forced propaganda. Tech oligarchs control what the public sees and what they do not.
Get the hell out of anything Meta already. If you need to use an Instagram type service use Pixelfed.
Voor wie ook niet langer achter het nieuwe beleid van #Meta kan staan en de wissel van #instagram naar #Pixelfed wil maken, stel ik een nationale #overstapdag voor. Inclusief beeld om vrij te gebruiken in de communicatie naar je contacten.

For those who also can no longer get behind #Meta's new policy and want to make the switch from #instagram to #pixelfed I propose a national #switchover day. Including images to use freely in communicating to your contacts.

☮️A hot take on internet piracy, sorry [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
#Meta should definitely donate to #LibGen and #zlibrary. Perhaps Z-library could then roll-back their subscription model, or maybe even give a % the proceeds to the creators of the hosted works instead of the nominal owners.
I feel a bit stupid buying books on Amazon and then using pirated versions anyway.
Never too late to join the pirates, Zuck! ☠️🦜

Fucking Instagram took down Montreal4Palestine's main page (50k followers) + the back-up page...
They weren't posting radical content, but it was the main spot people checked for weekly protest information.

Yes, I will invite them on the Fediverse so the can gradually build a presence here too.

A dark-themed Instagram post from the account "montreal4palestinee" instructs users to help reinstate their Instagram page by following six steps. The steps involve opening a URL, shaking a device, reporting a problem and requesting reinstatement, following a new Instagram page, attending a protest on January 26th at 2 PM at Guy Concordia Metro, and a final statement "Free Free Palestine!".

I don't understand, if Americans think tiktok under CCP rule is a #democratic and #free software, then why not let Trump make America like CCP?
Trump can start a party and make America only be ruled by this one ruling party, the judiciary of America must be ruled by this ruling party, the congress of America must be ruled by this ruling party, the labor unions of America must be ruled by this ruling party, and every business in America must also be ruled by this ruling party, and every business must form a branch of this party.
That way Meta will have a party branch like tiktok's parent company and will become as liberal and democratic as tiktok.
Or do Americans think that seeing what the CCP wants you to see is a form of democracy and freedom? Negative news coupled with an overwhelming amount of positive news to increase the veracity of the positive news?

Here is a helpful analogy:
Europe (EU) has stricter food regulations than the United States for a good reason, so it's logical to start applying the same level of caution with some US internet services and platforms.
After all, just because the US pesticide industry's lobby deems Atrazine safe for Americans, it doesn't mean that Europe should buy and consume US corn treated with this herbicide.
If Google, Meta, X, et al, want to continue spreading hate and misinformation, avoid fact-checking, and treating their services with "pesticides", well, they can do it somewhere else ... or comply.
Fun fact: Atrazine is currently banned in ~44 countries.
After observing the TikTok controversy, it’s clear that the dynamics with tech companies feel off. Meta openly promotes right-wing sentiment, while U.S. politicians collectively moved to ban TikTok, seemingly to position Meta and X as dominant social media platforms. The corruption is evident—if a company doesn’t align with U.S. interests, it risks being banned or forced into a sale.

@palin @benroyce Unlike #Meta and #X, #Rednote doesn't collect data. To be used against the American people. At least, that is what people have been saying about #Tiktok.
It's been about 3 months for me. I deactivated my Facebook and X accounts. I do still have Tiktok (Btw it is back online for now).
No es por ser pesimista ni nada, estoy re copado con el movimiento de la gente a mastodon, pero recuerden que si organizan algo así de que todos este día vos vamos todos, etc, la red de servidores del fediverso puede que sufra la carga y demanda repentina porque son servidores humildes y autogestionados en los que generalmente no es posible incrementar la capacidad de los mismos con un chaquido de dedos como los grandes servidores de las big tech. Si pueden recuerden que ese día seguramente será un día donde todo andara un poco más lento, traten de distribuir la creación de cuentas en diferentes instancias, no todas a la misma y sean comprensivos con las demoras y tiempos que les admines se tengan que tomar para ampliar los recursos de los servidores si es que pueden hacerlo.

Ahem...ICYMI: As America wakes up to a TikTok-less world, many people will be flocking to Instagram Reels, which just days ago announced the videos you like and comment on will soon be broadcasted to all your friends on the platform. @theverge explains:
I mean this enshittification of corporate platforms is exactly what we anticipated.
Can I say "I told you"? Too soon?
Aaand that’s my Instagram accounts deleted.
Going through the list of people I followed, and it’s amazing how many have simply been abandoned.

Meta's “Community Notes” Feature for Threads, Civilian Drone Wrecks “Super Scooper” - HTTAY 116 Dave

@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
I’m currently waiting on the download links for my Instagram accounts, then I’ll be deleting them. I’m not posting to any of them these days and haven’t in the past year, so I’ve no qualms about deleting them all.

When is Threads going to allow account portability so folks can move their accounts if they want to? We don't know. A Meta spokesperson couldn't confirm that the topic was on the Threads roadmap, but said it was "top of mind." Here's @Sarahp's story.
Specially for the least technical users in the world, I have written a minimal-details no-techy-words explanation for how to let Federation accounts follow BlueSky users.
I worked _so goddamn hard_ to get those first two lines to be included entirely in the BlueSky post because of their itty bitty living space...
...and failed, because turns out they add more text decorations than even I knew. Goddammit.
But it's mostly there. Hopefully it'll work.
https://solarbird.net/blog/2025/01/16/hey-bluesky-users/
(The point of the larger project is to let people know it's safe to join the Federation even if their friends are going to BlueSky, to tell them they're _not_ losing friends by doing so.)

I thought the Pixelfed migration is mostly users from meta but I'm seeing a lot of "hi I'm from tiktok" posts, shouldn't they go to Loop instead?
One thing people might want to keep in mind when others tell them that Mastodon is "too confusing" is that I am seeing literally _fleets_ of people trying to leave Facebook saying _BlueSky_ is too confusing for them, and being utterly unable to find other BlueSky users despite knowing the usernames of the people they're trying to find.
I do not understand this and I do not want to be judgmental, I am simply presenting this "holy shit" fact.
Giving a URL to a profile and saying "click on the Follow button" seems to be helpful, but I'm trying to find out if that works properly if a person's only real way of using the web is through phone apps.
What will happen when I leave Meta?

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".

Meme about Meta users looking full of wonder to the fediverse. Meta (Facebook, Threads, Instagram) doesn't look amused, but the fediverse (with Mastodon, Peertube, Pixelfed, etc) looks very happy and confident.
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.😒🤦♂️

@lmorchard I don't understand why people keep posting on fedi about Meta without the #threads tag.
Threads is where #Meta intersects the #fediverse.
any other reaction than running at a full sprint from a rabid animal means death
if my analogy seems a little dramatic: #meta #threads fully intends the death of #mastodon #fediverse
if again, that seems a little paranoid and hysterical: everyone needs an appreciation of what meta is, what it is driven by, and what it does. as fully evident
Funny thing is #Meta can't stop being a cartoon villain character long enough for the #socialweb guys to defend themselves.
