After calling Trump “badass” a few weeks ago, Mark Zuckerberg now says Biden forced him to “censor” Covid misinformation posts — something that should be basic moderation — and that he regrets donating to support local election infrastructure in 2022, which he somehow thinks was partisan.

It's incredibly scary when a data-thieving company like #Meta champions #opensource in the EU after being told to stop stealing user data.

Meta and #Spotify CEOs want the EU to embrace open-source AI https://www.androidheadlines.com/2024/08/meta-spotify-ceos-eu-open-source-ai.html @androidheadlines

Open Source #AI? More Transparency, Please https://ipwatchdog.com/2024/08/26/open-source-ai-transparency-please/id=180412/ #opensource #privacy

Open question - to what extent do you think @Mastodon is an #echochamber ? I'm still quite new to it and do see differing views and opinions, but very rarely on the same conversational thread.

My hope moving here, other than to escape #Meta @threads + (always) avoid #X #Twitter , was/is for mature exchanges on subjects of shared interest (social media #nirvana I realise) and that inherently requires dissenting opinion from strangers. Is this generally 👍 or 👎 here?

Major corporations, including Mastercard, Meta, and Coca-Cola, are quietly sponsoring a Canadian conference headlined by Christopher Rufo, a far-right activist and crusader against diversity initiatives. Many of these same companies, however, champion diversity in their public communications.

🤩 Fucking SUPERGROUP of a podcast episode: @pluralistic and @brianmerchant on the latest Better Offline.

💪 Feeling powerless to enact change against oligarchs + huge corps? I learned the empowering tale of how Ida Tarbell's writing contributed to bringing down Standard Oil, and how that applies to today.

🔩 Frankenstein was a novel celebrating the Luddite cause!

And so much more . . .

#TheGuardian: "‘ #Threads is just deathly dull’: have #Twitter quitters found what they are looking for on other networks?"

"There’s been an exodus of users from #X, propelled by #ElonMusk ’s lurch to the far right, but the alternatives have drawbacks too"

So a lot of people where FediBlocking Threads. To those who haven't blocked it, what has your experience been so far with the slow integration of Threads into the Fediverse.

Well, if you left Facebook years ago as I did, you'll be relieved to know you're not missing anything on that hellsite of racism and sexism and all other kinds of hate.

What do you expect from people who can support the Trump/Vance ticket.

"Critics argued that the policy had a potential to undermine credible content and advocacy including topics like climate change, gun violence prevention, LGBTQ rights, and election information." Instagram accounts hit hard by Meta’s content rules: https://cybernews.com/news/instagram-accounts-meta-content-rules/ #Meta #Instagram

It's insane to me how fast Flipboard is moving with ActivityPub integration!

WAY faster than a MUCH larger company.

Meta needs to take notes cause Flipboard is doing AP the right way!

So, it's 4 months away from the end of the year, and it still feels like we're no further along with the promise of Threads fully federating.😒

They sure do enjoy making themselves seem as sus as possible with this whole situation.

First, the make it opt-in only, which is not how any other implementation works besides BridgyFed, and it only works that way cause Fedi bullied Ryan into submission with misinformation regarding how Fedi works.

Nobody who doesn't know what Fedi is, will turn it on and that's why there's so few people federating from those platforms.

Then, they claimed to "turn replies on" allowing Fediverse people to "reply" to posts from there. Except they failed to mention that replies are private on Threads, you can only mention 1 user or it won't work, and it has to be a reply to a post that already exists on Threads.

Obviously that's not "replies", that's one way DMs....🤦♂️

Getting more and more skeptical of Meta every day.

I am not sure what agreement #Meta made with #Turkey 🇹🇷, but from what I read it appears they have made it easier for the government to talk to them.

👉🏾 Turkey 🇹🇷 restores access to #Instagram 🔛 @TechCrunch 📰 https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/10/turkey-restores-access-to-instagram/

That said, I implore Turkish Instagram users to consider setting up a #Pixelfed account, as there will probably be more government bans like this in the future.

So, before beginning my 4 months of parental leave in June, I wrote an article for @heiseonline describing, why one on #Threads should activate federation with the #Fediverse. I did this in anticipation, that this option would become availabla in the EU while I'm gone.

After almost two months, it's still not here. Seems like preparing the article wasn't necessary. Will it come before christmas maybe? 🙄

Today on Nova Prime, a lot of bad things are happening with companies and influencers on social media, and YouTube. Being exposed for this, or that. Companies partnering with world-ending weirdos, creators being creepy or exploitative, and they've all figured out ... Hey man, if we just ignore the backlash, it ain't happening?

The case has been closely watched in #antitrust #law circles as the first of a string of cases federal prosecutors have launched against high-tech giants. Antitrust enforcers argue that #BigTech has gotten too powerful & doesn’t serve the #PublicInterest. Lawsuits have also been filed against #Amazon, #Meta & #Apple.

Meta has announce something call AI Studio. Real life "third places" have been replaced with online virtual places for many people, particularly Alphas such as my grandchildren, who have no particular need to go to real places to meet their friends; they do that via iParasite. The real purpose of AI seems to be to replace real friends with bots. The purpose of AI Studio seems to be to replace yourself with an AI bot. The better to commodify you, my dear. #thirdplace #AI #Alphas #Meta #AIStudio

[HANLESorry no #Meta in my TL]

This old video clip demonstrates nicely that #TFG had always a strong bias against #Indians.

I knew the #fedipact against federation with #Meta's Threats - pardon! - #Threads was the right thing™ to do, but I never anticipated it to become as crystal clear as *that*:

Dustin J. Carmack, one of the spin doctors behind #Project2025, as Meta's Director of Public Policy, southern and south east?

Probably no excuses from all the clowns lobbying for blind federation because - checks notes - "growth" and *amazing* "opportunities". Like - getting overrun by fascists? 🤔
