First Meta said pay or consent, and now they've taken it to a whole new level: If you want a less personalized ad experience they will force you to watch ads with 'Ad Breaks'... Could it get any worse?!

On the other hand, the annoying ad breaks could be the solution to stop the endless scrolling?! At least that's how one Redditor is interpreting the change. 😅

When did you decide to leave #META and which alternatives are you using?

Time for alternatives: https://tuta.com/blog/instagram-alternative

@Tutanota I decided against using any #META socials because of the hostility towards adult creators on all of their platforms. I opted for Twitter instead and I had a good time until the Muskrat bought it. Now I think the #Fediverse is our best chance as adult creators. I wrote as much in a blog post 2 years ago:

I'm using Mastodon but Pixelfed and Loops are probably cool alternatives for Instagram refugees.

Why Mastodon is our Best Chance as Adult Content Creators

A lesson from Tumblr, Patreon, and OnlyFans: you WILL be kicked to the curb if you create adult content. It's only a matter of time. But how is Mastodon different?

@AimeeMaroux @Tutanota Please don't debase muskrats too much, they are kind of cute (although invasive in Europe)
@aurochs Nothing against real muskrats, of course.
