A "fun" day for #Meta

1. 'Meta settles #socialMedia #addiction case with #California, other states for $16.7 billion' (second link below)

2. New #movie trailer for "THE SOCIAL RECKONING" drops. It's not exactly a flattering portrayal of #Facebook

it makes me sad that i grew up all my life with the core knowledge that Nazis are bad.... and that seemed to be a universally held - and upheld - truth.

But then everyone got addicted to social media platforms and now it's fine if those companies pay Nazis to post rage bait. People will just keep scrolling anyway.

"Thirty-three states have banded together to sue Meta, alleging that the company was exploiting its young users on Instagram and Facebook for profit, including by collecting data from children without parental consent."

The damages could be as high as $1.4 trillion, nearly the same as Meta's market capitalization at just above $1.5 trillion.

@MissGayle

So

It's time to institute an income / net worth floor underneath everyone on #Mastodon

The poors?

Fuck 'em

They can all go back to #Facebook

The math on media is likewise, broken.
Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, influencing the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.

I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.

Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.

People who are not savvy, are locked into the #Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )

Here's a plan of action:
1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of #Mastodon. 1. Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms. 2. A community owned, open social media platform.

2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.

3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right Mastodon instance.
4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a random Mastodon instance for them.

5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.

6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.

7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️

Local #Seattle artist Light Guerrilla projected “TAX THE RICH” on the side of Mark #Zuckerberg 's stupid boat while it was docked in Lake Union. The boat is now anchored in the middle of Elliott Bay several miles away.

@matt To this I would add: consider adding a prominent, tappable Mastodon icon in the "walled-garden cabbage patch". I'm referring to the area at the bottom of the front page of the said organization's website (where #Facebook / #Twitter / #Threads / #Instagram / etc icons are proudly/shamefully shown). Those icons are the "rotten cabbages", while #Mastodon is a "good cabbage".




Wired: Meta Employees Are Scrambling to Use Up Benefits Ahead of Layoffs

On the eve of about 8,000 jobs being cut, employees are cashing in on headphone stipends and other perks while they still can.

"...Two employees describe a widespread rush to use up an annual $2,000 flexible benefit, which can cover a variety of expenses including health and wellness activities. A separate triennial credit of $200 toward the purchase of audio gear has led to a scramble to purchase Apple AirPods and other headphones. Another source says Meta offices have been largely empty this week, as people prioritize polishing their résumés and gather offsite to commiserate with friends for what may be their final time as colleagues. Employees are variously “paralyzed,” “coasting,” and “panicked,” sources say...."

I am two chapters into @pluralistic‘s #enshitification. Cancelled my #Amazon Prime subscription, deleted their app from my phone and think about finally leaving #Facebook for good.
How will my digital life look when I finished the book :thaenkin:



I'm toying with the idea of creating a new #blog but something that is super simple and almost like a daily #journal as means to redirect my posts/usage of #facebook. 📱

I have a very built out website on wordpress already and happy to let it keep exisiting in it's present form. 🖥️

What does the #fediverse suggest as a nice platform that I could create something new on for #blogging ? 🤔

I like the early internet vibes rather than the new overly commercial looking stuff.👍
