It's time to boycott all Meta products. Its gonna be hard, because I use Facebook and Whatsapp often, but I'll start with Instagram. I dont trust Zuckerberg with my data. That said, there are some communities that have yet to move off these platforms. How do I initiate the migration? Will people even be receptive? I really value the communities I've found on these platforms and don't want to give them up, but I don't want to continue supporting Zuckerberg when things like Mastodon exist.

Don't believe people when they tell you billionaires "made it from nothing". They made it from exploitation and tax evasion.

Probably the best wildlife photo I've ever taken, snapped from a kayak in Glacier Park, MT. This was a weird magical day. More info below...

Go and open the door.
Maybe outside there’s
a tree, or a wood,
a garden,
or a magic city.

So, finally, Musk's minions have acknowledged why they locked out third-party Twitter clients: The purpose is to force users onto Twitter's own website and apps.

Remember, they lied earlier to justify killing off the competition, claiming violations of the rules. Since there were no violations they could point to, they rewrote the rules.

Anyone who trusts Musk and Twitter at this point is willfully stupid.

January 6 committee found that Twitter and other social media companies gave Republicans preferential treatment on social media out of fear of criticism/reprisal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/01/17/jan6-committee-report-social-media/

What the Jan. 6 probe found out about social media, but didn’t report

The Jan. 6 committee's 845-page report offered few details of social media's role in the Capitol riot. Transcripts and an unreleased memo shows the committee knew more.
