Sigh. #Macclesfield newest brewery emailed to say they are having an open day, and the details are "on #instagram"
Why do companies do this to themselves?!?
An artist-run, anti-AI social platform called Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users in just a week, as artists leave Instagram in their thousands to protest against Meta’s AI policies.
Artists aren’t happy that the social media giant is using public posts on its platforms to train its generative AI systems, with no way to opt out for U.S. users. Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain, but such a jump in users hasn’t come without its challenges. @TechCrunch has more.
Was soll ich dazu noch sagen, wollt ihr gratis Arbeiten und verstumpfen dabei? Ich überzeuge fast Niemensch sich von diesem Social-Media zu lösen, evt. hilft das.

Max Cavalera Reads Negative Comments Online to Psych Himself Up for Live Performances
Max Cavalera is Abe Simpson in the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" meme.
A report by the New York Times revealed that Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs funded a $2 million covert influence campaign to target U.S. lawmakers and the public during the Gaza conflict.
The campaign, executed by Tel Aviv-based Stoic, a political marketing firm, targeted the American public and members of Congress through hundreds of fake accounts on X, #Facebook, and #Instagram to advocate for continued military funding.
In the process, three fake English-language news sites were set up to support the campaign and bolster support for Israel's actions in #Gaza.
#Instagram forcing unskippable ads onto timelimes, where as you're scrolling your feed, you encounter ads that freeze your screen until the ad is finished playing
Every so often I’ll log in to my #Instagram account via the web browser because someone linked me to a Reel or told me they posted something to their story that I ‘must see’.
But today I downloaded all my data from #Meta and deleted the account. :pepe_cool:
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? 🤨 🤔
