👉🏾 Customers say Meta’s ad-buying AI blows through budgets in a matter of hours 🔛 @arstechnica 📰 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/customers-say-metas-ad-buying-ai-blows-through-budgets-in-a-matter-of-hours/

Not gonna lie, as monopolistic as Meta is, it would be nice to finally see Threads posts, the Fediverse (particularly Mastodon) is still very void of younger people, based on the many age range polls that I've seen pop up every now and then.

The Threads bonus is an invite-only bonus program that lets you earn money on your Threads content... Based on the performance [and] number of posts you create.

is this really the vibe we want them bringing to the fediverse???

“You could imagine an extension to the protocol eventually — of saying like, ‘I want to support micropayments,’ or … like, ‘hey, feel free to show me ads, if that supports you.’ Kind of like a way for you to self-label or self-opt-in. That would be great,” Cottle noted, speaking casually. Whether or not Meta would find a way to get a cut of those micropayments, of course, remains to be seen.

I greatly appreciate the :verified: here on #Mastodon being free vs $25/mo on #Meta. Saves me a bundle :blobfoxangrylaugh:

@vimproved In the same boat here. I wish #Meta turns more gentle and make instagram #fediverse like how they did it with threads. So I can at least follow and interact with all my friends from my PixelFed instance.

But Fedi community will find reasons and run campaigns to ban Meta (like how it's going on for Threads)

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.

@darnell After some time of absence I tried again Facebook and Threads. With Threads came Instagram (users are brute-forced to connect to instagram).

This whole social network is absolutely aweful, horrible and full of crap. It is filled with hatespeech, racism and antisemitism.

There is absolutely no reason to be there!

I can not understand why companies still want to use #meta

It's a horrible place to be ...

#Meta should just offer people in #Europe (& the rest of the planet) a simple option: either opt in to have your personal information sold to advertisers, or pay a fee to use #Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp & #Threads.

It works for #YouTube (I pay them to avoid ads), as well as other news organizations. It’s really that simple.

Can you imagine what the #Fediverse would look like now if the response to Gab had been "Admins don't need to block these instances, individual users can just choose whether or not to apply a user-level block (mute) themselves"?

And #Meta is even more corrosive than Gab. Gab users just posted a barrage of hate and unpleasantness. Meta is commercially incentivised to destroy what some people are inviting it to into.

@aral

You are not wrong. You may be an alarmist, but that may be a good thing in this case.

#facebook is #malware

#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.

Biden’s Chief of staff was on a board for #Meta

You know another person who's popping champagnes and doing flips on this potential #TikTok ban?

Mark Zuckerberg.

Why? Because he's ever closer to total dominance of the social web and people still don't realize it.

Don't believe me? He's got the conversation, photos, and messaging space locked up with the possibility of owning the top Fedi instance and he would do the final step (assuming if the ban holds up) into near control of video.

Be very afraid.

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.🙄

Once again this video, because it's an eye-opener ->

"In this episode of Dot Social, Flipboard CEO Mike McCue talks to two key leaders tasked with building the Threads experience: Rachel Lambert, Director of Product Management, and Peter Cottle, Software Engineer. Both are long-time Meta employees with a genuine care for open-source software and communities, as well as trust and safety"

#Threads Has Entered the #Fediverse, with #Meta’s Rachel Lambert and Peter Cottle

@BeAware @darnell@threads.net We have similar goals. #Meta wants #Threads to be successful, & I want the #Fediverse to become mainstream.

Threads is the largest player so far to adopt #ActivityPub, and as @mike says, “The implications are huge.”

Why is Threads doing this? How is the team working with the community? How are they thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward?
In the newest episode of @dot_social, Mike digs in with @rklambo, Director of Product Management, and @pcottle, Software Engineer. Check it out in the fediverse on PeerTube or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. More details here:
