Get off Facebook. Get off every Facebook service. Block Facebook. Don't work for Facebook. Don't provide services to Facebook. Find every way you can to get them out of your life and support others in doing the same.
They are ethically indefensible.

I think they could be finished,, given they are now under investivgation over Myanmar everyone is looking closely at them.
I need to read the article on that it is linked here somehwhere so trying to find it.
@zleap @metagrrrl Yay and all that but, ultimately, venture-capital-funded Arsebook is waiting in the aisles to take their place. Unless we change the system (outlaw the business model or make it financially unsustainable) and provide ethical Small Tech alternatives, we’ll just be replacing one people farmer with another.
@aral @metagrrrl
Is there a way to include a librepay or other donation system on every instance so users can contribute, even if this was a small amount it would help maintain individual instances.
I think it would be a good idea. Or perhaps raise funds for a specific purpose that users can see happen.
@zleap @aral @metagrrrl I’m not familiar with the platform, but I think opencollective is an alternative that helps you be open on spending.
@zleap @aral @metagrrrl you can also publish that on blog posts or social posts about that. Examples OTOH are fosstodon.org and sourcehut.org: they report how much they gained from donation/payment and how they spent that.
The writeAs instance i am using isn't working at the moment

bad gateway error , any help appreciated
Yes we need to be open and transparent too,l set the right example
@zleap @aral @metagrrrl I’ve seen people put that in about page or blog. You can also make an instance admin account that asks for donation every once in a while.
