Not sure what to do with my photographs. I used to rely on quite a lot, but it's been the same since 2000, and far from being the greatest solution.

I won't join , been off from Facebook for 10 years, so I won't go back in this environment.

What's left? maybe? Or could be a viable alternative today? Or maybe even turn my personal in a platform where I can also share photos? 🤨 🤔

🤣 Za TechCrunch:

" potwierdził, że testuje reklamy, których nie można pominąć (po tym, jak zrzuty ekranu tej funkcji zaczęły krążyć w mediach społecznościowych).

Zgodnie z tekstem informacyjnym wyświetlanym w aplikacji Instagram, te nowe przerwy reklamowe będą wyświetlać licznik czasu, który uniemożliwi użytkownikom przeglądanie większej ilości treści w aplikacji, do momentu obejrzenia reklamy."

“Providing this data as input for Lavender undermines their claim that #WhatsApp is a private messaging app,” he wrote. “It is beyond obscene and makes #Meta complicit in Israel’s killings of ‘pre-crime’ targets and their families, in violation of international humanitarian law and Meta’s publicly stated commitment to human rights.

Giganci cyfrowi - Instagram / Facebook / Meta - pokazują swoim nieletnim użytkownikom treści, których na pewno nie powinny oglądać dzieci. W niektórych sytuacjach skutki bywają tragiczne. Co dzieje się w Zjednoczonym Królestwie w tej sprawie? O tym we wczorajszym artykule redakcyjnym "Guardiana":

Instagram confirms test of ‘unskippable’ ads

"Instagram confirmed it’s testing unskippable ads after screenshots of the feature began circulating across social media."

"“We’re always testing formats that can drive value for advertisers,” a Meta company spokesperson told TechCrunch."

Looks like it's time for people to move over to #Pixelfed :pixelfed:

Every so often I’ll log in to my 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 and deleted the account. :pepe_cool:

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Looks like and have reached level 20 of their program.

Now, forced ads are poppping up in the apps; you are forced to watch them before you can continue scrolling on.

I really hate what Instagram has become. A decent social app, completely ruined in stages by Meta's takeover.

I've been boycotting Meta for idk how long, ~8 years? I think QAnon and misinformation spread on Meta skewed the 2016 election, and thus we have Trump, Dobbs, etc.

But sure seems to be winning this fight. Almost everyone uses their platforms, even young people.

I don't know if I'll keep the boycott going, there are people I'd like to connect with who won't use anything else.

One advantage of not being there, though, is I haven't had to fend off as many scammers:

Meta's AI is summarizing some bizarre Facebook comment sections

Ok, so I got the Facebook email today about the sneaky change in their TOS to steal more user data. This time for "AI".

That's it. I deleted my account. I wasn't using it anyway, but I kept it to keep Messenger working. I created a new Messenger account instead for the handful of cases where I still need it.

I had not yet accepted the changed TOS from last year, and had to "consent" to those outrageous terms too just to get to the delete button. Clearly illegal.

At work today we got the mail sent about their use of our content on their services.
I filled in the form to opt out (commenting that this should be opt-in, not opt-out to begin with).
The confirmation arrived pretty instantly.
I bet it was penned by an AI.

Just got this Meta Ai #update:

A beautiful #email informing that they will update their privacy #policy for the 100th time?

Thank you #Meta for your amazing #Ai and for completely ignoring peoples #privacy over and over again 😂

Please please go ahead use all our #data as you want:
