Not a fan of X/Twitter but I do find it funny how some people were telling us it’s gospel that X was going to collapse. It’s been a couple of years now and it’s still running fine (unfortunately) #x #twitter #bigsocial
If anyone knows of people/groups that actually care about people, getting people off of #BigSocial, advancing the Open Social Web and making the spaces more accessible, safe and user-friendly let me know. Just without the weird ideology, religion and protocol wars. #Fedi #fediverse #opensocialweb #activitypub #atproto #nostr
Substack just killed the creator economy

You’d think people would want to work together to get people off of #BigSocial yet people want to be weird & engage in protocol wars. That lets me know it’s not truly about the public benefit #atproto #activitypub #opensocialweb

Big Social media feeds are a monetized on-demand disassociative for the masses.

I really like to avoid bad faith actors, but this one I will engage. I have seen this account and other advocate for admins to run their instance as they see fit especially when it came to defederating Threads. The people that wanted to connect to Threads users were told they could easily migrate their accounts. Now, here comes this account against admins making decisions since its a situation they’re against. How is the Threads situation any different? Admins are the ones spending the time and money thus they get to make the decisions, those that don’t like it can migrate to another instance and or become admins of their own instance. Users can block the bridgy fed account and block domains. Truly sick of the alarmist inflammatory crap on this space. There’s plenty of spaces and opportunity to ask questions & get proper answers before making an attention-seeking post. Crap like this shows Mastodon and the Fediverse isn’t about quality, quality social content requires actual EQ. The amount of crap, nastiness, lies, etc I see posted in the space shows a significant lack of EQ. Let’s start living up to the “quality” and be a higher standard than what is on #BigSocial I would’ve liked to had a quiet personal conversation about this but seeing as you didn’t attempt to with those involved and got some sick glee out of putting targets on people backs, it was only fair I did this publicly.

It's amazing how many spam or fake accounts there are on major platforms. 🤯

But when regular (business) users want to make small changes to existing accounts they have to jump through so many hoops: from verification txts - even when 2FA or passkeys have been set up - to verification videos. 🫣🤦‍♂️

#SocialMedia #Facebook #Google #BigSocial

When we look back at #Meta, #Xitter, #Bytedance, #Google and #Tencent twenty years from now, we'll think of them as we think of #ImperialBrands, #BritishAmerican and #PhilipMorris today.

The social and societal consequences of the dopamine predators won't be forgotten and it won't be forgiven.

We managed to bring #BigTobacco to their knees -- let's do the same to #BigSocial.

We need to ban targeted advertising and behavioral tracking. Put the predators in jail.

Einige kritisieren #Fediverse-Dienste wie #Mastodon dafür, dass sie zu kompliziert seien, oder die User Experience (#UX) nicht an das Erlebnis bei #BigSocial wie X, BlueSky, Threads etc. herankäme.

Ich denke, die Feststellung ist so erst mal richtig, aber wir sollten sie ein wenig einordnen, um auf diesen Einwand mit Argumenten und evtl. auch mit Maßnahmen einzugehen. Ein Thread (1/10)
