carlsetzer, Ah, quintessential #enshittification. I'm sure @pluralistic would agree.

FluffyBunnikins, @carlsetzer @pluralistic I’ve been reporting every single ad on Instagram as spam for over a year now. Every. Single. One. I wonder if I’m going to be able to do that to these ‘unskippables’.
pabuisson, Not sure what to do with my photographs. I used to rely on #flickr quite a lot, but it's been the same since 2000, and far from being the greatest solution.
I won't join #meta #instagram, been off from Facebook for 10 years, so I won't go back in this environment.
What's left? #500px maybe? Or #pixelfed could be a viable alternative today? Or maybe even turn my personal #blog in a platform where I can also share photos? 🤨 🤔
nhoizey, @pabuisson you’re welcome!
I built a GitHub Action to POSSE to Mastodon/Pixelfed: https://nicolas-hoizey.com/articles/2023/01/07/let-s-posse-to-mastodon-with-a-feed-and-a-github-action/
madargon, @pabuisson Pixelfed, as I know, is constantly improving. It looks good now. Many users I follow have accounts there. I even plan to introduce there person who didn't use any social media.
TheSwiv, “Providing this data as input for Lavender undermines their claim that #WhatsApp is a private messaging app,” he wrote. “It is beyond obscene and makes #Meta complicit in Israel’s killings of ‘pre-crime’ targets and their families, in violation of international humanitarian law and Meta’s publicly stated commitment to human rights.
optimisey,
optimisey, #Slack slipping out their "We're taking everything you post, upload, message about" etc. to feed their #AI (which you could only opt out of via email?)
It feels like this is just spiralling out of control with tech companies racing one another because they CAN with no-one thinking about if they SHOULD. 😖
strypey, It's a bit ranty towards the end, but there's some fascinating insights here into shifting sands of the ZuckerBorg's metrics, FarceBook enshittification, and so on:
foldworks, @strypey Here's a more balanced view of Zuckerberg -- but it comes to the same kind of negative judgement (without mentioning #enshittification) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hjmf74

cehwitham, Started looking at KartoView, Mapillary and Mapilio as ways to contribute to @openstreetmap KartoView log in with OSM doesn’t seem to work. Mapilio crashes when you try to record. Mapillary work quite well, then I found out it’s been bought by #Meta and now I’m not so keen. Any recommendations?

ItsThatDeafGuy,
joshourisman, @ItsThatDeafGuy @geoglyphentropy it is so common in rural areas! I get it, they’re often one-person shops, and there isn’t really a great alternative, but it is incredibly frustrating to need to Facebook account (which I don’t have) to check the hours of a shop, or to learn that they’re closed due to an unforeseen family issue or something.

I honestly can't grasp why anyone would lower themselves to use the Zuckerberg platforms. They've been unethical and money-grubbing from the very beginning.

cdarwin, Uvalde parents are suing gunmaker, Meta and ‘Call of Duty’ manufacturer
The lawyer who won a record-setting settlement for #SandyHook families announced
💪two new lawsuits Friday on behalf of
#Uvalde school shooting victims
targeting
⭐️the manufacturer of the AR-15 style weapon used in the attack,
⭐️as well as the publisher of “Call of Duty"
⭐️and social media giant Meta.The lawsuits against
🔥#DanielDefense, known for their high-end rifles,
🔥#Activision, the manufacturer of first-person shooter game “Call of Duty,” and
🔥#Meta, the parent company of Facebook,
may be the first of their kind to
👍connect aggressive firearms marketing tactics on social media and gaming platforms to the actions of a mass shooter.💪🏽The complaints contend the three companies 💥are responsible for “grooming” a generation of “socially vulnerable” young men 💥radicalized to live out violent video game fantasies in the real world with easily accessible weapons of war.
One of those men, the legal team argues, was Robb Elementary shooter Salvador Ramos.The lawsuits allege
👉 Meta and Activision "knowingly exposed the Shooter to the weapon, conditioned him to see it as the solution to his problems, and trained him to use it.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/05/24/uvalde-lawsuits-daniel-defense-meta-activision/
dagb, Norwegian #Meta vil trene #AI på innlegg. Hvor godt klarer den å filtrere bots tro? Russisk propaganda vil jo selvsagt forsøke å påvirke modellene så mye de klarer. #norsktut

ovid, So #Meta is expanding their #AI features on #Facebook and I was presented with the following. It states I have a "right to object." The next sentence begins with "if your objection is honored...."
WTF? I have a right to object but they get to decide if they want to honor it? What kind of "right" is that? Did they mistype, "You have the slight possibility to object"
To really drive home the "fuck you" nature of this, I clicked on the "right to object" link.

SvanDendragon, French @VieilOgre Absolument. Rien ne va dans cette histoire, c'est une dinguerie.
Heureusement ils ont l'air de répondre très vite, c'est au moins ça, j'ai déjà reçu la réponse à ma demande, confirmant qu'ils allaient respecter mon opposition.
VieilOgre, French @SvanDendragon J'ai également reçu une réponse favorable. Ça va assez vite. Mais le problème de principe reste le même.
rast, Polish Zalogowałem się na Facebooka i takie rzeczy.
Bez większych wyjaśnień, bez wytłumaczenia co tam się właściwie będzie działo. Podobnie jak Google - po prostu my ci to włączamy i możesz tylko zaakceptować lub możemy łaskawie rozpatrzyć.
Zerknąłem do formularza, tam takie kwiatki:
"Informacje, które udostępniasz w naszych produktach i usługach, mogą obejmować np.:
– Posty
– Zdjęcia i podpisy
– Wiadomości, które przesyłasz do SI"Czyli SI będzie się uczyła na podstawie tego co piszesz i wrzucasz. To co tutaj umieszczasz już nie jest twoje, punkt drugi, również zdjęcia i naprawdę od dziś zacznę się dziwić ludziom obficie wrzucającym zdjęcia swoje jak i swoich dzieci tutaj.
W czasach gdy SI (AI) jest zamknięta, nikt, nawet jej właściciele, nie wiedzą jak w zasadzie działa, w czasach deepfake'ów, Meta (właściciel Facebooka) narzuca mi coś, tak jak wcześniej Microsoft i Google, czego łatwo albo wcale nie mogę odrzucić.
Dziwi mnie taka cisza, nie wierzę że wszyscy mają tak wywalone, naprawdę możliwość lajków, rolek, kilku wiadomości i podglądania innych ma takie znaczenie że chcemy być "biomasą"? .
mstankiewicz, Polish @rast tak.
tayledras,
Edent, 🆕 blog! “It isn't who you know - it's who knows you”
I'm terrible at networking. I forget people's names minutes after meeting them, I never have business cards and lose the ones I'm given, and I can't go five minutes without burbling some nonsense. But I recognise that networking is a skill and, like any skill, it takes practice to succeed. I've always been told that […]

rzeta0, Nice article thanks.
Worth mentioning that for many people who don't like "networking", their experience of forcing themselves to do it for years is ... zero outcome.
So I guess the message might be - if you do it, you might get lucky - if you don't, you definitely won't.
I've had quite a few conversations with younger professionals asking me why putting themselves through the pain seems to go unrewarded .
rgarner, @Edent As much as the post is full of useful words, really I'm here for the cat in the social card.
ojrask, Meta's Workplace shuts down in 2026.
I guess making money somewhat honestly by having customers that actually pay for a service with at least some guarantees of privacy and safety is not as lucrative as having an open platform network where people are tricked into giving out all their data while they are spied upon for whatever reasons.

nando161, According to #SadaSocial, there is an urgent need for an immediate investigation into #Meta's leak of #WhatsApp users' #data to the #Israeli #military.
The group diligently observes the collective dissent voiced by numerous Meta employees, encompassing #Facebook, #Instagram, WhatsApp, #Messenger, and #Threads, regarding the Meta #company's complicity in the #genocidal war against the #Gaza Strip, its endorsement of the Israeli occupation, and its fueling of the "Lavender" #artificialintelligence system used by the Israeli military to kill #Palestinian individuals within the Gaza enclave.

KimPerales, #META exploits children:
Meta revoked a job offer to a prominent cyber-intel. analyst -after he criticized IG for failing to protect children online.
Raffile had been offered a job as a human exploitation investigator. He'd participated in a webinar on safeguarding agst FIN sextortion schemes (featured: parents of 4 children who'd died after being scammed on IG), during which he criticized #IG for allowing children to fall prey to scammers & offered possible solutions.

Vaniaji, @KimPerales Simply irresponsible and sad. Would Zuck and his wife want their children targeted?
