So lemme get this straight, recent big things for Mastodon:
- Opened up to Facebook who literally helped genocide happen and censors certain posts on their platform, after closed door meetings
- Added AI bro and crypto fucker Amir Ghavi as a board member
- Added a cofounder of Twitter as a board member.
It is becoming reasonable to question if there is a current goal to ensure Mastodon becomes less attractive to its core userbase. Almost like it's being sabotaged on purpose.

Dutch watchdog says government should stop using Facebook if there are privacy concerns

You are not wrong. You may be an alarmist, but that may be a good thing in this case.
#Meta and #AlphaBet are #parasites that use #vampire business models to extract your #essential #data and then resell it to other parasites in an ever expanding #cannibalistic #orgy of #greed cloaked in the #liturgy of #capitalism.
Some people get replies and just do not engage at all....
Like, what is the point of posting to social media if you're not even gonna be SOCIAL?!?🤦♂️
Especially Fedi, cause it's not like we have some dumb ad service that pays you for views...You ain't making money here unless you're posting off-platform links to buy stuff.
I just don't get it. It's social media. Not "shout to the void and ignore everyone" media.🙄

Demokratie in Gefahr: Meta schränkt Reichweite für „politische Inhalte“ ein - reitschuster.de
Facebook, Instagram und Co wollen ein „wertvolles Erlebnis“ sein. Deshalb sollen Nutzer jetzt vor „falschen“ Posts geschützt werden. Was im Mantel der Fürsorge daher kommt, entpuppt sich als digitaler Rotstift. Von Kai Rebmann.Kai Rebmann (reitschuster.de)
Telegram and Signal - two other foreign messaging apps - were also removed from the store on Friday, according to app tracking firms Qimai and AppMagic.'

Israel's Lavender: What could go wrong when AI is used in military operations?

When @Georgi shared a video from our documentary on Facebook and wanted to tag @Be Brave To Act Facebook page, she had no option but had it appeared as if this was a "paid partnership" with @Dima 's page. haha. Because as I said before, Facebook is not a "social network" it is an ad platform, so they naturally see these "taggings" between pages as partnerships.

The Internet is starting to Break - Here's Why.
Why big tech companies suck right now. Looking at you Amazon, Netflix, Uber, Spotify, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube...Secure your privacy wi...YouTube
It stands to reason that if you want to get a hold of a lot of data, which technically has value, your job would be the devalue said data as much as possible.
This is what happened to the #internet citc 2000, when #ads covered every single page like a plague of locusts. Your eyeball time was devalued.
Then, #Facebook basically devalued your personal information by making it normal to give all of it away.
Now Facebook wants $10 to remove ads, but not #tracking.
I’m seeing a lot of people badmouthing Facebook/Meta and saying we shouldn’t federate with Threads.
Mastodon.social is owned by Mastodon gGmbH and run by the *author* of Mastodon. Mastodon.social federates with Threads. If Facebook/Meta were toxic, do you think they would? Of course, not.
Facebook/Meta has Mastodon’s author’s (& the original Mastodon server’s) seal of approval. So you should all shush because clearly you’re mistaken.

How Mastodon made friends with Meta
Founder Eugen Rochko on helping Threads federate, dodging venture capital, and why he hopes Bluesky abandons its protocolZoë Schiffer (Platformer)
“The Kansas Reflector published an artical about Meta censoring environmental articles about climate change — deeming them ‘too controversial’.
Facebook then censored the article about Facebook censorship, and then after an independent site published a copy of the climate change article, Facebook censored it too.”
Welcome to the fediverse, friend.

If you’re on mastodon.social, I would highly recommend that you switch to a different server that protects its people instead of exposing them to a well-known bad actor like Facebook/Meta via Threads.

And remember that Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon and definitely more so than mastodon.social and Mastodon gGmbH.
