No Labels is perilous to our democracy. I hesitate to say No Labels because they do have labels. They’re called no taxes for the rich. No child tax credit for children. They’re called let’s undo the Affordable Care Act — Rep Nancy Pelosi #quote#quotes#NoLabels#Trumpers#maga
#Barcelona, #Meta's Twitter competitor, will be ready by summer.
And lest you believe #ActivityPub integration was just some rumour, think again. In a slide, Meta confirms that Barcelona will indeed be decentralized and will be compatible with Mastodon.
Everyone who thought that AT protocol would easily win over ActivityPub, and that #Bluesky would kill Mastodon just because a few influencers joined doesn't understand the sheer marketing power and pull that Meta has at its disposal.
But believe me, I'm not exactly cheering on Meta here. Generally, where Meta goes, shenanigans happen. I simply don't think Meta is capable of releasing a product without dark patterns.
Nevertheless, I don't think the Fediverse is even close to preparing for what will happen once Barcelona starts federating.
@atomicpoet@socialmedianews back around 2016 Meta then Facebook, which collects all our data whether on or off the site, let Cambridge Analytica have our data. I was swept up via a friend. I didn’t like the FSB having my data. If #Meta federated, it would try to collect our data. As I mainly played a game there, didn’t discuss politics and blocked ads, game over, left. As many #Trumpers so I would block, don’t trust Zuckerberg.
