@smoltron @jagster "menee kyllä usko ihmiskuntaan" Olen jo pitkään ollut sitä mieltä, että ihminen sosiaalisena olentona ei ollut valmis ottamaan vastaan internetin tarjoamia haasteita. Olihan sitä "tyhmyyttä" ennen nettiäkin, mutta silloin "tyhmillä" ei ollut lähellekään yhtä paljon valtaa ja vaikutusmahdollisuuksia kuin nyt.
I’m sure the same assholes that effectively murdered Aaron Swartz for attempting to make academic research accessible to all will now be shutting down Meta over this. Yep, no doubt at all.

... I am not having fun on Social Media much anymore.
Meta platforms are good for the occasional image that is out there, Instagram for the Bikini Models, and little else.
I used to admin forums and such for small niche communities and frankly I want back to that.
#Mastodon was the first try for me into the Fediverse. I have liked running my own instance and controlling it as I desire.
The PixelFed instance I finally finished seems pretty nice as a site to focus on my van project and the photography I plan to engage in as I travel.
I still haven't gotten the NodeBB forums up, but they are next on the list. Even if I don't end up with a lot of people taking part.
Sites are still on my agenda as well.
I just don't care for anything else about the big guys these days. Deleted my old Reddit and recreated an account just to comment on Fediverse and Vanlife mostly.
This is just me Ranting.
Warum das Argument, man müsse in sozialen Netzwerken bleiben, um Opposition zu leisten, völliger Unsinn ist.
"Das Argument, man könne Plattformen wie X oder TikTok nicht verlassen, weil es sonst an »Widerspruch« und »Opposition« fehle, ist aus mehreren Gründen nicht haltbar – es ist schlicht völliger Bullshit. Es beruht auf einer falschen Annahme darüber, wie diese Plattformen funktionieren und welche Auswirkungen die eigene Präsenz dort tatsächlich hat." (Mike Kuketz)

Warum das Argument, man müsse in sozialen Netzwerken bleiben, um Opposition zu leisten, völliger Unsinn ist
Der Mythos der »notwendigen Opposition« auf Plattformen wie X und TikTok ist eine Illusion: Auseinandersetzungen verstärken Desinformation und fördern das Geschäftsmodell.www.kuketz-blog.de

"some have told DistroWatch that their Facebook accounts have been locked or limited after sharing posts mentioning Linux topics."
Facebook considera Linux malware and will block or ban your account for talking about it.

Poistin FB-tilini pysyvästi.
Parasta on, että a) kukaan ei huomaa b) ketään ei kiinnosta. Vähän kuin olisi livahtanut pois paskoista bileistä.

C'est de mieux en mieux chez Facebook : Ils tirent à boulets rouge quand vous parlez de Linux. Comptes bloqués ou limités, groupes de discussion fermés, messages supprimés sous le couvert de "risque de cybersécurité".
C'est connu, les utilisateurs de Linux ce sont de dangereux hackers à capuche.

Meta is now flagging Linux-related topics as "cybersecurity threats" and blocking the accounts of users and groups who discuss FOSS.
If the Social Web Foundation and SWICG leadership can't be bothered to care about genocide instigation, privacy invasion, fascism promotion, disinformation, collusion with dictators, the censoring of marginalized communities, labor and child abuse, or nonconsensual behavior modification experiments, maybe NOW they will understand they're serving as the tools of an enemy?

#Facebook thinks that #Linux is #Malware 😱👎

So, this guy blocked me so it won't go to him. This is for anyone who sees this later.
This guy was basically being a dick. He could have just blocked the account or went about his business. But he choose to try and shame me for sharing something I found on Facebook.
When I find interesting things like this on Facebook I basically copy and paste the information here, with a link for anyone who wants to go see the original post. This is because this isn't my original content and when I share it I believe it's important to link back to the creator.
I mark these with the tags #Facebook, #FacebookFinds, and #FacebookGroup.
Any one of those tags can be muted. Like the guy about could have.
He chose to be hateful though.
So while this is all going out into the Void, and won't be seen by the dick in question, if you do see this then take a moment to ask.
If you don't want to see these things you don't have to. They are tagged in a way so you can block them.
But you also have a choice about being a dick about it.

How to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads | TechCrunch
In the wake of Meta’s decision to remove its third-party fact-checking system and loosen content moderation policies, Google searches on how to deleteRebecca Bellan (TechCrunch)
Some posts related to obtaining #abortion pills were recently #hidden on #Instagram and #Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.

Time to fight back. If you are a #moderator on #Reddit, I've posted some automod code to blacklist Oligarch-controlled propaganda sites like #x and #facebook. Let's not drive traffic to their walled gardens that don't respect facts.
Nah, don’t worry, it’ll be ok. They’ve been sponsored by Google for years. Even Facebook at one point.
It’s open source… it’s about the source being open. It’s open as in “open for business”.
The “F” in FOSDEM is silent.
It’ll be fine…

Deleting #Facebook is intentionally difficult; those wanting to delete will find that they are led through a maze of menu options. This webpage has a link that will take you directly to the deletion page if you are logged into your Facebook account on a PC. Perhaps the best thing you can do is post this link to your Facebook account a week before deleting it to help others learn about this fast and easy shortcut.
