Not sure if other people do this, but I use notifications of favorites/boosts as a discovery mechanism for accounts to possibly follow.

I mean it's a potential sign they have similar interests, so might as well visit the profile and see if they post interesting stuff you want to see more of.

I'll often favorite a few posts along the way too, which I hope doesn't seem too weird to people!

"Since end-to-end encrypting communications on the platform as a measure to protect user privacy, Meta no longer has access to the content of messages so cannot monitor what is spreading. But the company now says it has technology to spot accounts engaging in abnormal behaviour, with 8m accounts banned a month – 75% of which are banned before those accounts are reported by users."

Speaking of media platforms that...

"[Politicians making blatantly untrue claims] is where media's role should be, to [say] 'no, that's just a lie', and just squash it. But they don't. They just repeat it. They amplify it."

We could be forgiven for thinking the message is that disseminating untruths is only bad when ordinary people are voicing them...

🇬🇧 victory: After our open MEP letter criticising ’s ‘pay or okay’ scheme the EU Data Protection Board is also speaking out against its legality. A big step towards overcoming Meta’s surveillance-capitalist business model and establishing surveillance-free ads!

Des millions de comptes français ont été exposés à des publicités pro-russes visant à les convaincre que l'aide en n'était pas nécessaire, sans aucune modération de Meta. C'est l'une des révélations d'une étude de l'ONG AI Forensics.

So, Meta is shutting down Threads in Turkey on the 29th. That gives us 12 days to spread the word of Mastodon to them. If you have a Threads account, make good use of it and spread the word and help with onboarding lots of new users 🙂

Opinion: cannot rely on "Pay or Okay" - https://noyb.eu/en/statement-edpb-pay-or-okay-opinion "This decision prohibits Meta from using an unlawful consent request processing personal data."

@glynmoody Good riddance.

Even though I don't live in the EU, I quit Facebook pre-emptively on the basis of Facebook's proposed "pay or OK". Whether or not they get it through in the EU, they're likely to think of using it elsewhere. That was the last straw for me.

Hurt like hell. I gave up family, old friends and associates that I have no other means to contact. Some may fall back into my orbit in time, but some are lost to me forever.

🤷‍♂️ Facebook's price was more than I was willing to pay.

Exclu Next : selon une nouvelle étude d'AI Forensics, Meta échoue à modérer correctement ses publicités.

Résultats, ça permet à des réseaux pro-russes de diffuser largement leur contenu en France et en Allemagne. Et ça laisse aussi de larges opérations de fraude aux faux investissements s'étendre à travers ses plateformes.

A teraz na chwilę bez niepotrzebnego wzburzenia. To był błąd który parę dni temu objął duuużo facebookowych „stron” o przeróżnej tematyce. Zdarza się, choć takim gigantom nie powinno. „Skandalem” możnaby to nazwać, gdyby dotknęło wyłącznie/szczególnie profile pełniące rolę podobną do Muzeum Auschwitz. Nie wiązałbym tego z tematem wdrażania DSA. Ale najważniejsze pytanie, na które nigdzie nie znalazłem odpowiedzi — czy te ograniczenia zostały już im wycofane?

cc @razem bo mieli to samo.
