Article in the NYT about the book about facebook that meta is working to suppress.

If you want help getting off of facebook, instagram, threads and whatsapp, let me know; I’d be happy to help.

The censorship on Meta is escalating. Now you can't talk about Linux on Facebook without your posts being flagged as a "cybersecurity threat". Has someone done a (long) list of all the manipulations and dangerous behaviors by Meta? Added things like this that tend to just get forgotten? I think it's time for me to start communicating to people I know that are on there in much more serious ways. They won't hear about this on Meta obviously. #MetaMigration #Meta #Censorship https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/facebook-flags-linux-topics-as-cybersecurity-threats-posts-and-users-being-blocked

Er du også klar til at forlade Facebook, Instagram og WhatsApp? Men er du også i tvivl om hvilke alternativer der er og ønsker at følges ad med nogen?

Vi er mange, der er klar til at frigøre os fra Metas sociale medier, der på godt og ondt har fastholdt os i så mange år. Og lige nu virker det til, at det rent faktisk er momentum for at få skabt en masse-migration væk fra Meta – men hvor skal vi bevæge os til?

Dear newcomers, if you plan to bulk-upload years worth of #Instagram or #Flickr photos, please consider tossing a coin to your admin if you can.

The server you're on is most likely run by a private individual, and its storage space for media files is not endless. Your donation helps your admin pay hosting costs and upgrade the server if needed.

So, seems threads posts are lagging their ability to be available in the fediverse, past the normal 15 minutes. Could be just a temporary thing for @mosseri & @zuck to see if we care (we do), but clarifies that all of meta is unreliable now.

Come on now, we know meta is degrading, but I hate it.

Leave meta's platforms as much as you can since no matter what we do, they'll degrade further. Your connections & businesses cannot rely on meta any longer.

MAD at Meta? Of course you are. So don’t let them collect and SELL your data! Deleting your accounts is NOT enough, they track you through countless third parties. Here’s what to do from the #EFF. #Meta #privacy #MetaMigration

Leave Meta’s Platforms (available at link in comment too)

We cannot rely on facebook, instagram, threads, whatsapp, or any of them.

To put this in the most stark terms possible: we cannot stand in a room owned by someone with bad intentions, with the air itself controlled by them, and hope to win a fight against them. Staying in the room with our communities is not a solve. We will suffocate.

I like the fact that Tumblr allows multiple different blogs under one user.

I've now set up a replacement Tumblr page for my Marine Mammal News Facebook Page.

Shame to lose the followers I've gained over the years, but given how flooded the Facebook home feed is with unwanted crap, I doubt many people see my posts these days.

If you have Tumblr, follow me at: https://marine-mammal-news.tumblr.com/

I started a @pixelfed account 2 years ago, but never used it. Now it's just about ready for prime time (mobile apps in beta), so help me join the #metamigration away from IG and set up shop in the visual #fediverse

You can follow me directly from Mastodon (or start your own Pixelfed account)

Woohoo, my phone just notified me that the new Pixelfed app is finally downloadable!

Another obsolete Suckerberg app!

To avoid impersonation if the account goes dormant (gets deleted), I’ve been scheduling single posts to post on my old twitter once a week.

They invite people to join me on other platforms. I’ve basically deleted all other posts I made on twitter since 2008.

Today, I changed messages going forward to no longer direct people to meta platforms, and instead just to these:
