STOP using corporate platforms! 🚨🛑

From demanding "real names", official IDs, and face scans destroying pseudonymity,

To carefully keeping track of everyone you interact with,

To tracking everything you do on the internet *outside* these platforms linking it back to your profile without your knowledge,

They will now utilize, process, tag, and judge everything you post to feed their AI models or sell it back to someone else's models.

It will only get *worse* from now.

You have no control whatsoever on what will be done with this AI-compiled profile of you later on.

The only solution to stay safe from their insatiable greed is to leave and delete,
before they eat you whole.

If the #Threads interpolation story ever breaks, and the world learns the details of how, exactly, the #SocialWeb folks sold us out, one thing is for sure—

Mark Zuckerberg will throw them under the bus so damn fast. Those NDAs aren't saving anyone.

He sacrificed his highest ranking Lieutenant, Sheryl Sandberg, just to save face in front of Trump. You think he won't do the same to some W3C nerds and the founder of his competition if need be?

lol okay.

Following the success (sarcasm!) of my previous post "Battle of IMs", I decided it's time to write another post where I try to articulate in a technical but snarky way my view on the wonderful world of social media, and which one is best among the mainstream and non-mainstream ones. This is a long post, reviewing 14 different "socials".

I’ve noticed as a lot of accounts have gone dormant that were once huge in the text based platforms. Have people been leaving mastodon? Where have those users gone to if anywhere?

Meta’s AI rules have let bots hold ‘sensual’ chats with kids, offer false medical info

"An internal Meta Platforms document detailing policies on chatbot behavior has permitted the company’s artificial intelligence creations to “engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,” generate false medical information and help users argue that Black people are “dumber than white people.”...

"Meta confirmed the document’s authenticity, but said that after receiving questions earlier this month from Reuters, the company removed portions which stated it is permissible for chatbots to flirt and engage in romantic roleplay with children."
