Der zweite #did - da muß ich doch … Als #Apple User (Betreutes Wohnen, nennt es mein Sohn) schwer. Aber wenn #Linux auf dem M4 läuft, fange ich an. Beim #iPhone wird das so nicht gehen. Also nach dem OS-Versorgungsende kein iPhone mehr kaufen.
Mail, Browser, Websuche #didit

(A)Social-Media:

#Twitter war schön. Dann immer nervigere Werbung. Als dann die Timeline nicht mehr auf “Folge” einstellbar war, war Schluß. Auf meinem 1st-Hobby Account nur noch Links in’s #Fediversum. Mein größter SM-Fehler war es, eine Hobby-Gruppe bei #Facebook zu starten. Wie der Zauberlehrling mit den Besen werde ich das nicht mehr los. Aber auch da poste ich oft nur noch Links. Ebenso in meinen anderen SM Hobby Accounts ( #Bluesky, #Threads, … Bei #WSocial Mal sehen)

Für heute habe ich mir #Youtube vor genommen. Hochladen ist #dudit, aber das Ansehen! Das ist richtig fies, die Timeline schafft es immer mal wieder, mich zu fesseln. Am Besten, es gibt keine Grund Youtube zu starten. Und da sind wir bei der Follow-Klocke. Wenn die Videos nun mal sonst nirgends zu sehen sind? Auf dem iPad gibt es auch keine Werbefreimach-App.

Bei meinen Gefolgten sind einige aus den Öffentlichen, die doch gefälligst ihr Material in der Mediathek ablegen sollten. Da fehlt dann wieder die "Folgen-App”. Sollte technisch möglich sein, muß nur mal einer machen |-)

If you are using Social Media to oppose the tRump fash regime, great.

If you are posting anything decrying the regime's attack on democracy on #bluesky #linkedin #facebook #threads #substack #instagram #whatsapp #xitter then you are just seeking clout or numbers for a monetized platform.

Stop giving fashy techbros money and support. Every post, every click on their platforms is money in their pockets, that they WILL use to destroy democracy.

I still wish #Mastodon had become the alternative instead of #Bluesky or #Threads

@fluconf I'd like to thank a few folks who's work helped me while writing the article.

@kissane article about Meta's Role in the genocide of the Rohingya is required reading helped to gestate the idea of digital poppets.

Written in response originally about #threads comming into the fediverse. It's something for folks to think about with VC funded tech coming into this space. It's a heartwrench to read. But I think folks should.

@KraftTea the problem is, people are STILL remaining in corporate #SocialMedia , giving clicks, thus money, to fashy techbros who give that money to fascist thugs seeking to enslave us all.

Every post, every click at #facebook #linkedin #threads #instagram #xitter #bluesky is helping the nazi fash to erode democracy.

It's their choice, really. They elect to remain and support that.

@leavex @grob @weddige The #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 has provided a convenient tool listing which social networks #EU 🇪🇺 politicians are on: https://european-union.europa.eu/contact-eu/social-media-channels_en

Also many EU 🇪🇺 members are still actively using #X (many politicians are worldwide).

Surprisingly there are more listed EU 🇪🇺 politicians using #Bluesky than #Threads & #Mastodon combined! The only listed EU 🇪🇺 account on the #Fediverse is @EU_Commission, which is very surprising as Mastodon was created in #Europe (specifically #Germany 🇩🇪).

Huh, Laurens Verhagen noemt #threads in de @volkskrant onderdeel van de #fediverse. Ik kan het me niet voorstellen.

So #threads is now adding ads. We still have no idea how #bluesky will eventually monetize, but it's a company running on VC that it will eventually have to provide a return for.

The typical response to fedi is that it's fine but I wish it had this or that, and especially that it needs more people or certain accounts. What doesn't get factored in is the most likely outcome for these services, especially if they win. This really matters when you're building on them.

Be future proof. #SocialWeb

I hardly check #Mastodon anymore, as it seems to be dying out. I still check #X the most, and then it’s a tie between #Bluesky and #Threads, but I lean more in favour of Bluesky, where I find better discussions, versus Threads, where it’s more of a spillover of influencers from #Instagram.

For a solution to a supposed issue with online privacy the thin-on-details report about the TikTok deal is kinda ironic no 🤔

Threads rolls out ads to all users worldwide

Meta on Wednesday announced it’s expanding ads on Threads to all users globally. The expansion, which starts next week, will be gradual, the company says, noting it may take months for the full rollout to complete.
