I’m just remembering the time FB killed a bunch of small media companies by pretending that its video engagement was through the roof.
And the time they non-consensually experimented with only showing awful things to certain users to see if it would isolate and depress them (it did).
And the time they hosted the livestream of a mass shooting hate crime.
And the time they enabled a genocide.
Or Cambridge Analytica. JFC remembering facts and events is not hard.
Meta joining the fedi is going to be interesting, their selling point is that celebs and I assume brands will be able to reach out to people on here, to allow fans of cele x to follow them.
Problem is, if we decide to block meta, then that marketing idea is clearly flawed. As that won't happen.
As I have said we have our own community on here, they are not celebs in the sense of famous musicians or influencers, they are conducting cutting edge research, as in doing something useful. Many are here BECAUSE they don't feel safe on Meta or Twitter.
The level of conversation on here, as a result is far higher.
