@BBCNews Not for all. Some of us are discriminated against. Mine hasn't increased by one penny in FIVE years.

The photos are my own work. (boosts excepted of course) I hope you enjoy some of them. I'm well down the road of de-googling etc and use open-source software where feasible with privacy a priority, but still have a way to go. I block racists, spammers, and hate mongers. I prefer 'boosts' to 'favorites' . Please follow if you are cool with the above. #nobridge
#FediPact not an instance admin? you can still block threads!!!
do note, however, that it won't be as effective as an instance-level block on a technical level (your data will still be sent to meta, etc.)

Since mastodon.world has shamelessly federated with Meta, I'll be moving my stuff to mas.to and deleting my presence here. If you'd like a list of Meta federated/unfederated instances to choose from, there's one here https://fedipact.veganism.social/?ref=privacy.thenexus.today

Fedi.Tipsp.s. A few responses to points people raised:
- Meta still as bad as ever, links above are from 2021, 2022, 2023.
- It's not "few bad apples", problems are right at the top, e.g. Zuckerberg said in 2018 Holocaust denial should be permitted on Facebook (https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/18/17587080/mark-zuckerberg-holocaust-denial-kara-swisher-interview)
-Meta memo leaked in 2016 said people would die but company should carry on regardless (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/growth-at-any-cost-top-facebook-executive-defended-data#.upw3jdyR8).
- People saying "wait and see". Do you really need to see more like this? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-sue-facebook-myanmar-genocide-us-uk-legal-action-social-media-violence
Mark Zuckerberg says Holocaust deniers are making an honest mistake
In a podcast interview, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recommitted to providing a platform for misinformation. Facebook will continue to offer a platform to Holocaust deniers, Infowars, and other publishers of hoaxes on the assumption that they are sincere in their beliefs, Zuckerberg said.
