Okay, so another set of stats now that April is over.
As I've said before, I am posting concurrently to Pixefed and Instagram to see what the differences are.
Let's break it down by month first. Here are average likes by month for the year to date:
January - Insta 20 / Pixelfed 8
February - Insta 21 / Pixelfed 8
March - Insta 27 / Pixelfed 11
April - Insta 26 / Pixelfed 9
Year to date, we're averaging 23.7 likes per post on Insta and 9.1 likes per post on Pixelfed.
– »Die EU-Kommission leitet ein Verfahren gegen Meta ein«
– »Brüssel: Meta lässt sich für russische Desinformation bezahlen«
– »EU-Kommission eröffnet Verfahren gegen Meta«
…und wird dies einschreitende Einwirkung haben, so wie die USA TikTok unterbinden möchte oder wie einen der vielen IT & Datenschutz Klagen, die dann so gut wie in's Lehre laufen?
> Dans le cadre de la lutte contre la désinformation, la Commission européenne a ouvert ce mardi une enquête contre les réseaux sociaux Facebook et Instagram.
"Instagram is now a truly awful product, beset with scammy advertising and an aggressive algorithm that deprives the user of industry, and Mosseri’s only response to the pain and frustration of his users is to tell them that he intends to make Instagram even worse in the future."
The EU is getting ready to launch an investigation into Meta over its handling of election-related content, reports @engadget
Full details of the investigation are expected later this week, but concerns have reportedly been raised about “deceptive advertising and political content” on Meta’s platforms. EU officials are also unhappy about Meta’s plan to shut down CrowdTangle in August, a move the researchers and fact checkers who use the tool have called a “direct threat to election integrity efforts around the world.”
L’UE indagherà su #Meta per disinformazione elettorale prima delle elezioni di giugno
Secondo il rapporto, Bruxelles agirà entro questa settimana contro i proprietari di #Facebook e #Instagram per le politiche sulla pubblicità ingannevole e sui contenuti politici.
I never thought I'd side with conservatives but here we are, calling out the "libtards" rioting on campuses. Hiding behind their masks like coward Ham-Ass.
»Facebook-Mutter Meta setzt voll auf Künstliche Intelligenz«
Der Internet-Konzern hat so viel Geld, dass es sich leisten kann, so viel in der KI zu Investieren - Zeit ist Geld aber egoistisch, wenn nicht ausbeutend. Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass deren Glaube an ihrem Erfolg, auch als Religion bezeichnet werden kann.
#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.
Have said it over and over, time after time: politics is the bane of Christianity. Politics is not a feature of heaven. The wolf in sheep's clothing today is a politician in a pastor's suit.
