Dobra, jak wejdą reklamy na Instagramie, których nie da się pominąć to kompletnie spieprzam z tej platformy. Trudno, enshittification na pełnej widzę idzie.

Dostałem właśnie dwie, niechciane reklamy:

  1. Jakieś czary mary enerdżi healing, aktywacja miłości i leczenie jakimiś fikuśnymi metodami (na litość bogów, jestem CBTowcem prawie radykałem).

  2. Robert Biedroń i jego zachęta do głosowania na niego w wyborach. Sorry, ale nie. Nie lubię typa, nie trawię go i szczerze już sam jego sposób wypowiedzi uruchamia we mnie ukryte pokłady mizofonii.

'Israel organized and paid for an influence campaign last year targeting U.S. lawmakers and the American public with pro-Israel messaging, as it aimed to foster support for its actions in the war with Gaza, according to officials involved in the effort and documents related to the operation.'

It's important to add ALT text to images in social media posts, otherwise you're excluding 1 in 5 people from your messages. It's super important in election time for politician's to add ALT text to social media, and it's so easy.

Read our blog post: https://www.studio24.net/blog/please-use-alt-text/ or see RNIB's guide on accessible social media: https://www.rnib.org.uk/living-with-sight-loss/assistive-aids-and-technology/tv-audio-and-gaming/guide-to-accessible-social-media/

@EUCommission I noticed that the website about your digital strategy ("Shaping Europe’s digital future") has social media links for:

  • Facebook
  • LinkedIn
  • Twitter
  • Instagram
  • YouTube
    ... but NOT

https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en

This feels odd, since those platforms - for-profit, ad-driven - are from American tech giants, whereas Mastodon is free, open source software founded by a developer based in Germany.

Why?

I'd love to see it added there 🤗

Nesi, to internet

Kind of poking around the interwebs these days trying to find out where I fit in modern-day #socialmedia

I went back to #twitter today... hah. Hahaha. Listen: I spent the last hour blocking or "I want to see less of this"ing the content that was on my main feed, and even though it claimed my feed would be 'made better', every time I refreshed I had more of the same content.

And it was almost entirely #conservative #republican #AmericanNews nonsense.

Gross.

So here I am... meandering around. flails arms wildly

I logged into my Bluesky account this morning to see what was going on with the platform (and to post a blog link). Most of the people who I follow haven’t posted in months, others have deleted their accounts completely.

Is Bluesky a dying social media platform?

Instagram confirms test of ‘unskippable’ ads

"Instagram confirmed it’s testing unskippable ads after screenshots of the feature began circulating across social media."

"“We’re always testing formats that can drive value for advertisers,” a Meta company spokesperson told TechCrunch."

Looks like it's time for people to move over to #Pixelfed :pixelfed:

Bawi mnie to, że content, na którym mi zależy Facebook ucina, ale jak zacznę narzekać na Facebooka na Facebooku, to od razu zasięgi rosną.

Czyli nawet według algorytmów Facebooka Facebook ma chujowe algorytmy. Cudo.

Liebes #Fediverse,

Danke Fediverse, danke lokale Communities, danke für den alternativen #SocialMedia-Ansatz, danke @Gargron & Team!

Many & men are Republicans & some are anti-vaxxers, but a few women boomers are largely responsible for spreading :

A small group of committed “supersharers,” predominately older R women, were responsible for the vast majority of the in the period looked at. They promoted & shared links to vaccine hesitancy & politics-flavored fake news. 2,107 reg. US voters accounted for spreading 80% of it during the 2020 election.
