@ai6yr Did you see this bee-related news?

"Plans by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta to build an AI data center in the US that runs on nuclear power were thwarted in part because a rare species of bee was discovered on land earmarked for the project, according to people familiar with the matter."

@silvermoon82 😂

I wouldn't trust any of them with anything ;)

"Startup" is a bit of a stretch for #META and #Telegram, though.
Thinking about it, they are probably bigger corporations than most of the phone companies added together 🤔

Have you tried #Signal or @briar ? :)

"Meta’s attempt at microblogging, “Threads,” has been caught up in a few moderation scandals that seem pretty likely to have been caught up by terribly simplistic algorithmic bans ...

Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell... posted about Katz’s suspension ...

“Threats suspended [Katz] for this. She tells me, “I stand by my views of Hitler. Not a good guy.” And Threads suspended him for that as well"

Why would Meta enforce any rules their platform when it makes them money.

We all have to understand that Meta and its services is the gutter.

Avoid. Delete. Ban.

O #WhatsApp, controlado pela #Meta coleta uma grande quantidade de dados, alimentando algoritmos de publicidade e comprometendo a sua privacidade. E, sendo uma plataforma centralizada, está sujeita a bloqueios e censura.

Como alternativa, o #XMPP oferece uma rede descentralizada, onde você controla seus dados e escolhe seu servidor. É seguro, com criptografia de ponta a ponta e 100% transparente. Chega de vigilância corporativa! Experimente o XMPP em https://xmpp.eco.br.

I am so excited to finally be able to share this news with the world!

I have been working with the incredibly talented @bahi0u to design a mascot for v2br.social.

Please give a warm welcome to the otaku from outer space, Veeta!

Let the record here fundamentally reflect the following basic principles:

1) I would NEVER block someone who is crowdfunding for #MutualAid unless he/she/they were proven to be outright scammers. Or, they were outright wingnuts, racists, or otherwise outright aholes.

2) However you ID yourself is your business and not my debate. ALL of you are welcome here.

Is Open Graph Protocol dead?
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/11/is-open-graph-protocol-dead/

Facebook Meta - like many other tech titans - has institutional Shiny Object Syndrome. It goes something like this:

1. Launch a product to great fanfare
2. Spend a few years hyping it as ✨the future✨
3. Stop answering emails and pull requests
4. If you're lucky, announce that the product is abandoned but, more likely, just forget about it.

Open Graph Protocol (OGP) is one of those products. The value-proposition is simple.

• It's hard for computers to pick out the main headline, image, and other data from a complex web page.
• Therefore, let's encourage websites to include metadata which tells our services what they should look at!

OGP works pretty well! When you share a link on Facebook, or Twitter, or Telegram - those services load the website in the background, look for OGP metadata, and display a friendly snippet.

Facebook Meta were the driving force behind OGP - and have now left it to fester.

• The website - https://ogp.me/ - still works.
• But the Facebook OGP Discussion Group is now full of spam.
• The Developer Mailing List is broken.
• The Google Documentation links to a dead Google+ page.
• And the GitHub Page has been archived.

And, that might be fine. Facebook Meta are a small company with limited resources. They can't afford to fund standards work indefinitely. And, anyway, OGP is complete, right? It has all the tags that anyone could ever possibly want. Why does it need any improving?

Well, that's not the case. We know, for example, that Twitter have created their own proprietary OGP-like meta tags. Similarly, Pinterest have their own as well. And even Google are going their own way with Rich Snippets.

This is annoying for developers. Now we have to write multiple different bits of metadata if we want our links to be supported on all platforms.

Standards work is never "finished". Developers want to add new features. Users want to interact with new forms of content.

Tomorrow someone is going to invent a way to share smells over the Internet. How does that get represented in an Open Graph Protocol compliant manner?

<meta property="twitter:olfactory" content="C₃H₆S"> or<meta property="facebook:nose" content="InChIKey/MWOOGOJBHIARFG-UHFFFAOYSA-N"> or<meta property="og:smell" content="pumpkin spice"> or...

We know from bitter experience that having several mutually incompatible ways to implement something is a nightmare for developers and provides a poor user-experience.

So we create standards bodies. They're not perfect, but a group of interested folks can do the hard work to try and satisfy oppositional stakeholders.

This is my plea to Facebook Meta. If you're no longer interested in improving OGP, OK. You do you. But hand it over to people who want to keep this going. Maybe it's the W3C, or IndieWeb, or Schema.org or someone. Hell, I'm not busy, I'll take it on.

Remember, if you love something, let it go.

Let your creative friends know, Threads (and #Twitter / X of course) are not the solution.

It could leave swaths of Americans wondering why we aren’t hearing as much about the #election. And less likely to #vote, too.

#Meta doesn’t deny that it’s suppressing #politics & #SocialIssues. But as Fowler’s deep dive into Mrs. Frazzled’s #Instagram account shows, it has left users in the lurch — & won’t give straight answers about when, & how, it reduces the volume on what #users have to say.

#tech #SocialMedia #internet #censorship #politics

If you’ve suspected that you’re yelling into a void about the #election on #Instagram, #Facebook or #Threads, it’s not your imagination, either. Downplaying #politics is business & political strategy for #Meta, the #SocialMedia giant…
A wider study by the advocacy group #AccountableTech, …quantified the audience drop for 5 prominent liberal IG accounts, including the #HumanRightsCampaign & #Feminist, that post almost entirely about politics. Over 10 wks this spring, their avg audiences fell 65%.
