#Facebook front office grabbed great publicity from its bold #billion dollar public #pledge to help solve the #BayArea #housing crisis, then after the cameras, clicks and likes disappeared so did it's phony commitment, as #Meta quietly cut the funding teat and #ghosted the topic.

Money did flow at first , as public entities provided matching funds, but #Zuggerfugger's #PaloAlto #SocialMefia #boardroom backed shills quietly cut and run, committing far less than a quarter of the publicly pledged total. The vast majority of money from Meta, a company lacking a corporate charitable arm, came back to their HQ, repaid as low 2% interest rate loans of up to $15m to developers, not actual donations.

5 years after the flurry of #publicity, the unfulfilled propaganda pipe dream went deferred, projects were few and far between, impacts largely lost and untold in a region still desperately in need of more affordable housing.

Com més explícita fa #Musk la seva ideologia, més enfora d'#X han de ser les persones i organitzacions amb principis i valors democràtics.

I have mixed feelings about the larger social medias. Whenever I post an opinion that is somewhat more controversial or viral, there are always a couple of assholes that feel the need to bring me down. This doesn’t happen on the Fediverse, because we have this mindset where we do not like even tiniest bit of bullying that makes one feel unsafe.

This is why I love the Fedi. It’s my safe zone.
