Why do a handful of rich men get to control how the world communicates?
Meta is trying to stop a former employee from promoting her book about Facebook: https://www.engadget.com/social-media/meta-is-trying-to-stop-a-former-employee-from-promoting-her-book-about-facebook-004938899.html
Edit: the fuckers won an 'emergency ruling' to have the distribution of the book stopped: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq5zyq0250wo
Edit #2: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/14/mark-zuckerberg-free-speech-meta-sheryl-sandberg - lol:
'I am as shocked as I am confused that Mark Zuckerberg is going all-out to block a memoir by Facebook’s former director of global public policy, Sarah Wynn-Williams. I thought information wanted to be free? I definitely heard that speech should be. We know Meta’s revolting oligarch doesn’t write his self-serving public pronouncements, but he should at least make time in his busy Magafication schedule to read them.'
Loving the playfulness of this article about a book which Meta forbids you to read … peppered with links to buy the book.

Apparently a book about the toxic work environment at Facebook came out last week, but zuck and co sued to prevent the author from promoting it. Would be a damn shame if people bought it and read it anyway
Meta Seeks to Block Further Sales of Ex-Employee’s Scathing Memoir https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/technology/meta-book-sales-blocked.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3k4.VUuA.fUv1huo783m_&smid=nytcore-android-share
@EUCommission
If the EU wishes to do something 10 times more powerful and impactful, it should wholeheartedly embrace and promote the #SocialWeb and extricate itself from State Controlled #USA #SocialMedia such as #Facebook and #Twitter.
The #EU should provide free assistance to anyone who wants to set up a #Mastodon or #PeerTube or #Pixelfed server.
It should make their own #Fediverse servers their primary source of communication. It should spend money on promoting #ActivityPub and its benefits.
This is how the EU fights #Trump #Fascism and puts Social Media and its moderation into the hands of EU citizens.

Kicking tires on #humhub, a promising alternative to Facebook groups. What I've learned so far:
· Easy to install.
· All the features we need in our sustainability community.
· Translateable (a word, trust me).
· Privacy first.
· Made in #europe
· Modular
In the screenshot, we test the new “Let's meet” module, where we attempt to find a time when everyone desires to attend an online meeting. 
Farcebook - an insiders tale
The review of the book (the author is married to an FT Editor) does not mention that she was personally responsible for getting the platform accepted in Myanmar - where it was responsible for the disinformation and hatred that led to many deaths on top of ethnic cleansing. It exposes the targeting of the toung and culnerable well.

Leaving #Meta - for volunteer run venues
https://dukop.dk/en/event/leaving-meta-for-volunteer-run-venues/7457/
...
Since almost every kind of culture experience in #Denmark is currently dependant on #Facebook and #Instagram to reach an audience, makes it almost impossible to leave. This is why we would like to start the conversation, ...
This meeting is aimed at venues that are run by volunteers, but feel free to pop by even if your venue is not in that category. And feel free to share the event.
Datenanlyse: So ungleich war der Bundestagswahlkampf im Netz
Parteien stecken Millionen in Online-Wahlwerbung - doch mehr Geld bringt nicht immer mehr Reichweite, wie eine Analyse eines ARD-Datenteams zeigt. Außerdem erreichte die Wahlwerbung deutlich mehr Männer als Frauen.
@jeppe jeg er ikke selv på FB eller #friendica men min forståelse er at friendica skulle være alternativet til #facebook ?
It's another month, remember to help out with your #fediverse instance maintenance.
A literal couple of bucks thrown into the pool of funds helps. Most admins run their own instances as a voluntary act. If you enjoy being part of one, help keep it up.
The alternative is being a product at #DTBO corporate socmedia such as #bluesky #threads #xitter #facebook #linkedin #instagram and many others.
NOT being a product is worth a few bucks per year, really.
Hvis I skulle udpege én, måske to, artikler som I gerne ville have at folk på Facebook og Instagram læste for at blive motiveret til at forlade Meta, hvilken skulle det så være? #Meta #Instagram #Facebook #FediverseMigration

DN har publicerat en artikel om att hoppa av techjättarnas sociala medier. Det är en längre artikel som innehåler en väldig massa ord men få konkreta tips om social medier som kan användas istället för de stora socaiala medierna.
