"Earlier today, Meta announced that it was testing a new Meta AI chatbot for Threads that would function a lot like Grok on X. Even though the "early beta" isn't available to most people on the platform yet, a number of Threads users have discovered its not possible to opt out of the feature or block chatbot's the account."

Under the new rules, Meta might trigger a threat signal when a user posts a “visual depiction of a weapon,” a “reference to arson, theft, or vandalism,” or “military language,” if accompanied by the word “antifa.”

If “antifa” is mentioned in the context of “references to historical or recent incidents of violence” — a category so sprawling that it includes “historic wars” and “battles” — that post will also be penalized. Should Meta apply this rule as written, the company could, for instance, restrict posts comparing the antifascist nature of World War II to the contemporary antifa movement.

Potential penalties for violating Community Standards range from a full account ban to comments being hidden or suppressed.

Meta on Wednesday announced it’s expanding ads on Threads to all users globally. The expansion, which starts next week, will be gradual, the company says, noting it may take months for the full rollout to complete.

well because
we're doing fine
and we don't need to be told
that we're doing fine
'cause we won't give you control
and we don't need anything from you
'cause we'll be just fine
and we won't be bought and sold
just like you

please boost!!! :boostRequest:

like unironically? i'm thinking of adding a small section to the end of https://fedipact.online for some tasteful sponsors. i mean hell joinmastodon.org has a similar thingy. the page gets a fuckload of views, like over a million lifetime so far. i know this probably sounds really silly but i am so goddamn sick and tired of being thoroughly fucking broke constantly and this would be a nice way to be compensated for my efforts with this project. like i am literally always just barely getting by on a shoestring budget in my day-to-day life and it's really goddamn stressful!!! i hate being poor!!!!! it makes me worse at maintaining the fedipact list, and everything else too

for a minimum of $420 monthly you can be featured on the fedipact website!!! contact me on here or via email at v4nt4bl4ck@protonmail.com to discuss!

DO NOTE HOWEVER THAT SPONSORSHIP DOES NOT EQUAL INFLUENCE. FEDIPACT IS FULLY INDEPENDENT.
