14 years ago, over on the bad place #Facebook, I ranted about data roaming charges within my fellow European countries. A complaint we've all but forgotten about, thanks to regulation and the shared market.
"Yes, but what has the EU ever done for us?"
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.
For alternatives, see: https://fedipact.veganism.social
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.
