STOP #ENSHITIFICATION

Support #Mastodon!

I would like to use Bluesky. They’ve done a bunch of seriously interesting technical work on moderation and ranking that I truly admire, and I’ve got lots of friends there who really enjoy it.

But I’m not on Bluesky and I don’t have any plans to join it anytime soon. I wrote about this in 2023: I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will

Bluesky and enshittification - Cory Doctorow - Medium

Next weekend (November 8–10), I’ll be in Tucson, AZ: I’m the Guest of Honor at the TusCon science fiction convention. I would like to use Bluesky. They’ve done a bunch of seriously interesting…

Suomalaiset antavat yksityiset tietonsa korporaatioille ja kun tästä ääneen puhuu, sanotaan että "ei ole mitään salattavaa". Mutta kyllä kaikilla on, vaikkapa ne pankkitunnukset. Sinua vakoilevat mm. Kiina (TikTok) ja USA (Facebook), vaikka et käyttäisi palveluita.

Social Media propaganda, in particular on #X, #Facebook, and #Instagram can probably have cost #KamalaHartis2024 the #US presidency!*

👉The #EU urgently needs to pull the plug on #ElonMusk's private right-wing #PropagandaChannel #X, formerly #Twitter, before rightwing #FakeNews narratives destroy #European democracies in the same way it happened in the #USA.

This must be done before Jan 20

Republican dominance of new media is the number-one reason Kamala Harris lost in 2024. Her message was drowned out by propaganda and she failed to understand how gaslit Americans were.

Here are a few graphics to keep handy next time you want to explain this to someone.

I guess it is not a surprise. Most of you think that social media platforms that utilize algorithmic feeds are inherently anti-free-speech. So do I.

You have made the choice to join Mastodon, where the content you see is chronological and not decided by algorithms. IMHO, you have made the right choice.

I remember a time when we all viewed the Web with optimism. The more people we could get to join, the better for the world. Now it is a bit more mixed, but IMHO social media companies that utilize algorithmic feeds are to blame. We can move towards a better Web together by getting more people to join us.

Using billionaires' platforms
will not save us anymore.

They have full control to silence your voices there. Using it only means more power to them. Leave their control and join The Resistance.

To build powerful communities
that will be able to resist the oppression and injustice coming up soon, we need to fully move towards independent platforms.

The Resistance will be federated ✊

Exploiting Meta’s Weaknesses, Deceptive #Political Ads Thrived on #Facebook and #Instagram in Run-Up to #election2024
==

Despite Meta's stated commitment to crack down on harmful content, it failed to catch tens of thousands of ads that used false claims and deepfakes of political figures to collect users’ sensitive personal data or bait them into monthly charges.

Deceptive Political Ads Thrived on Facebook, IG in Run-Up to Election

^ProPublica

“Ahead of the election, anti-government militias are using Facebook to recruit, coordinate training, and promote ballot box stakeouts. Meta isn’t shutting their groups down and is even auto-generating pages.”

'...five men eyed Frazier from the driveway

...hands on their holsters as if bracing to shoot.

Frazier told the female sheriff’s deputy that her boyfriend wasn’t home

...the 26-year-old had a terrifying realization.

The officers were there for her.

Earlier that month, Frazier had shared a #Facebook post about the son she lost.'

I feel bad for Uerica, Sylvia, Nicole, Constance, Evangeline, Annie, Celia, Heather, Aggie, Georgie, Colleen, Katie, Melanie and Deborah. Why do parents give their girls first names the same as their last? OH, they're bots making social media worse. Got it.
