If you're on the fence about Meta or even calling others on here "idiots" for disagreeing with you, may I point out this article and let you ruminate on what it could mean for the fedi.

"As first noted by The New Scientist and Animal New York, Facebook's data scientists manipulated the News Feeds of 689,003 users, removing either all of the positive posts or all of the negative posts to see how it affected their moods."

They failed with the former so badly, that they felt the need to leech onto the latter because they want to capitalize people’s spaces and creations. That’s the only strategy they have left and it’s pathetic

Meta’s priorities went from ‘Metaverse’ to ‘Fediverse’ because the suffix ‘Verse’ got their attention

I spent 5 hours in A&E yesterday. (I'm fine.)

After triage I had bloods taken + blood sugars (separately), an ECG, a chest x-ray, a head CT scan, and two sessions with a doctor. I left with a prescription for two weeks of meds and a referral to a specialist unit.

Total cost to me: £0.

Fuck the government and what they're doing to our health services. Fuck privatisation. Fuck the fact the staff are underpaid and overworked. Fuck the Tories. Support your #NHS.

Corporations and politicians are escalating their corruption and exploitation like how serial killers escalate their killings. They are desperate in the face of a crisis

The text and the image composition are practically the same in those ads, with just different links (and a fucked up blue eye). ⚠️Very SUS⚠️. I knew this horrible era of the internet would come #internet #misinformation #scam

Is it just me, or is there far less flies outside this time of the year? As much as I hate these goddam tiny buzzing demons, it’s actually concerning. Is global warming killing them?
