Somit ist Meta mit dessen Diensten und Plattformen wohl auch in die Kategorie von "Plattform fรผr alternative Fakten und Verteiler von Falschmeldungen" einzuordnen sowie vollendes zu meiden und blockieren.
Diese wichtige Erkenntnis manchen Nutzern und insbesondere bei Familie und Freunde verstรคndlich zu machen sowie konsequent durchzusetzen, das kรถnnte die wahre Herausforderung werden...๐ค๐ญ

Einerseits schon sehr amรผsant das Meta sich sowie das Geschรคftsmodell von Instagram durch Pixelfed bedroht sieht und nun zu solchen unlauteren Maรnahmen greift. ๐ ๐
Anderseits ziemlich bedenklich in mehr als einer Hinsicht sowie wohl auch rechtlich, das Meta auf Instagram nun Links zu Pixelfed als Alternative sperrt und somit Zensur vom feinsten betreibt. ๐๐คฎ

TIL that on #Meta platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrantsโฆ with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a #Fediverse project like #Pixelfed, the post is automatically removed.

No es que #Meta permita ahora llamar a alguien "enfermo mental", no. Eso sigue estando prohibido, con una excepciรณn: si eres LGTBQI, entonces sรญ te lo pueden llamar y no es causa de acciรณn por parte de los moderadores.

Meta is deploying chatbots powered by AI to impersonate humans in its discussion groups. The chatbots make stuff upโthat is their nature. One invents a nonexistent child. Another pretends to have nonexistent merchandise. It shouldnโt be necessary to explain how vile and poisonous this is, but Casey Fiesler @cfiesler spells it out:

If youโre on mastodon.social, I would highly recommend that you switch to a different server that protects its people instead of exposing them to a well-known bad actor like Facebook/Meta via Threads.
For alternatives, see: fedipact.veganism.social
And remember that Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon and definitely more so than mastodon.social and Mastodon gGmbH.

Reminder to anyone who said "Meta wouldn't do anything to Fediverse, we should let them join!"
Meta is now automatically muting all posts that mention PixelFed, so it's users can't read about any alternatives to its services.

And if you want proof, ask the general public what Jabber/XMPP was, and then ask what Google how they killed it.

The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning.

The EU bans Meta's use of personal data for behavioural advertising.
The European Data Protection Board said Wednesday it had adopted a binding decision that will ban Facebook and Instagram owner Meta from using the personal data of users for targeted advertisements.
Earlier this year Norway imposed a ban on sending Facebook and Instagram users targeted advertisements based on their personal data.
