Did you know Facebook has settings like this?
Did you know you can get more low quality content, more unoriginal content, more sensitive content and more misinformation? If you feel you are not getting enough of it?
The problem with algorithmic content is that it tends to promote stuff like this. I would like no low-quality content, no unoriginal content and clearly no misinformation.
If I was getting only what my friends write, I would get very little of this stuff. Would that not be nice.
This is why I spend a lot more of my time on Vivaldi Social and Mastodon...

🍎 #SocialMedia is part of your daily diet - so why not make it healthy?
Corporate platforms feed you ads, algorithms, and infinite scroll designed to keep you hooked on junk food. The #Fediverse is different:
✅ No ads, no algorithms
✅ Real communities run by real people
✅ Diverse cultures and positive content
Stop feeding on junk. Switch to something organic: JoinMastodon.org

Elon Musk teki X:stä trumpilaisen taistelukentän – moni käyttäjä siirtyy nyt muihin palveluihin
Elon Muskin aikana viestipalvelu X:stä on tullut entistä riitaisampi ja poliittisempi. Sosiaalisen median idealismin aika näyttää olevan lopullisesti ohi.Helsingin Sanomat
I got this Emergency Alert from the CHP (who was sending on the behalf of SJPD).
The bit.ly link took me to a Tweet. City, State and Federal government agencies need to move away from using Twitter as the primary platform for public announcements and alerts.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy head to Capitol Hill on Thursday to present their ideas for President-elect Donald Trump's "Department of Government Efficiency," or DOGE.

Australia is planning to ban under-16s from social media. What led to that policy, and is it the best approach to address platform harms?
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @cameronwilson to discuss the decision and Australia’s broader approach to tech policy.

Yesterday Digital Science's #Altmetric has added #Bluesky as a new attention source for published research outputs. However, #Mastodon is not in the list of sources, and #Twitter / #X is still there...

Well, now that @heiseonline has stopped posting content to #X / #Twitter, my stats are not that helpful anymore. Shall I still give the occasional update?
Last week, #Bluesky saw a big uptick, #Threads not so much, while the growth of #Mastodon has stopped.

Well, even though we'd like them to come here, better late than never.. and we'll still be here for them when Bluesky falls!
"I would hate to exclude people who might choose to stay on Twitter,” - for sure, we wouldn't want to deprive the Broligarchs, racists, bigots, fake AI and bots from their daily dose of Neuroscience content!
Good news!
The #University of #Amsterdam has also decided to "no longer actively post on #Twitter"!
The news item says: "... we are looking for a suitable alternative."
Let's do our best to convince the university to at least *also* have a presence here on social.edu.nl!

Maybe @vuamsterdam can help convince the UvA to join us?
Senator @Paulatics Paula Simons rose today in Question Period in Canada’s Senate to ask the government why (the hell! - my words lol) Government is still using that platform of hate, misogyny and Russian misinformation called X!?
Boost to support the Senator!! And ask your MP, MLA, or other government representative wherever you are to do the same!!

Folks, please do delete your X accounts, by all means, but I’d be very surprised if that meant that your data is deleted or that Elon Musk won’t be using it to train his AI, etc.
I put in a data deletion request after deactivating my account in 2022 and set the Irish DPC on them when they didn’t. After several back and forths, with the Irish DPC being less than worthless, I gave up. Afaict, there is zero enforcement of GDPR Article 17.

TIL it is possible to import your Twitter account posts to Bluesky. Post portability may be a winning argument for many.

Does this seem like a good fit? - The #X algorithm at its finest!
It seriously appears to be going down the drains.
The other suggestions regularly change, but some #US generals & #BillGates keep showing up.
Is X trying to promote them or are those ads?
Furthermore the home page always shows #ElonMusk posts, even if you don't follow him.

Elon Musk’s AI turns on him, labels him ‘one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X’
His posts, it added, “can have real-world consequences."Chris Morris (Fortune)
Something a little different for this week’s article - a guide to the Twitter/X exodus from a disability and chronic illness point of view.
People are leaving the site in droves - whether because of changing privacy and data policies or in protest of Musk and Trump’s increasingly fascist and problematic behaviour.
What happens to the disability community who’ve long relied on that app for support, friendship and connection? People who are sick can’t migrate to a new platform as easily as their non-disabled counterparts.
How can we help people find community elsewhere? How can we ensure the transition takes as few spoons as possible?
Most importantly - how can we ensure no one gets left behind?

The Xitter Exodus and What it Means for the Disability Community
Disabled and chronically ill people have long used Twitter/X for community, fundraising, companionship and support. With folks leaving in droves - where will we go and how can we stick together?Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.
You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…
Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.
p.s. crypto bros (#a16z) also own #Substack

The devil is in the details! 😈
Today X changed their #privacy policy & terms of service.
2 Highlights:
-They "collect and use your #biometric information"
-3rd party collaborators might "train their artificial intelligence models" on user #data
As a surprise for #X "Premium's Anniversary" we decided to make another guide 😜
If you still have #Xitter, make sure your "Data sharing with business partners" setting is disabled!

Also posting this on #Twitter 😂
Even though I haven't used my Twitter/X account in over two years, I am still squatting my username.
But I decided to take the next step and delete my tweets before they're fed into their "AI".

Disappointed #X users are going to #Bluesky instead of #Mastodon
People like what is closest to what they are already using. #Mastodon is laid gratuitously different in terms of buttons to push and links to click. People who left #Twitter earlier didn't like that and left.
The crowds are different.
The prime content providers are staying on #X. Some are going to #BlueSky. Some are reposting here with #bots
Then there is the ridiculous size limit on toots on many servers

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
