    I couldn't post my monthly update on the Facebook page because apparently, now I can post only 2 external links per month...

    Monetizing external links, what a shame, Meta. :rblobglare:

    Screenshot of a modal windows from my Facebook Page when I tried to post, preventing me to post it. The symbol of a link, with a warning on top. It reads: "Get more from links with Meta One x You used your 2 posts with links this month. With Meta One, keep sharing links in your posts and comments, plus other subscriber benefits. Link allocation applies to your organic posts. Links to supported affiliates, Creator Storefront, and Meta technologies remain unlimited. (buttons) - Get Meta One. - Learn more"

    @davidrevoy It's always very fun to read through these and see all of the behind the scenes of the circumstances the comics were made in!
    And congrats on the remarriage, sounds like a lot of fun to do that after such a long time :neobot_happy:

    @davidrevoy But why would you ever want to post an external link? Everybody knows that the real internet is only made by a handful of companies and everything else is just for hackers and stuff, riiiight? </s> frigging walled gardens...

    @fabiscafe I think if I do a link like that, it will be shadow ban.

    My regular external links were already shadowban anyway... they keep only the comics.

    I'll find something to communicate to my followers (around 16K on it)

    Then do a comic with a farewell, use ai-fenced font in the bubbles, and tell the story of some metaeuthanized soul that goes into the datacenter inferno to swap bits in the authenticators so villains can access their golem anymore, than set those golem to find a way to destroy all who pushed it to the misery of working agains human artists...

    @ohir @fabiscafe That's indeed an experiment to do. On my 16K followers over there, maybe 3 to 4k are active when see the stats on my post. I don't want to leave them this way without a notice or an alternative... that's sure.

    @gunchleoc @ohir @fabiscafe Yes, probably. But I discussed with these users: they really don't have the basics of browsing the web, or searching something, or learning the new user interface of a blog. We, advanced user, don't even think anymore about all of that, but for them; facebook = internet. They did learn it, and now everything else require a too expensive cognitive effort, something that make them tired only thinking about it (fear to fail, fear to not adapt). It's complicated.

    I am pulling my NeoFinder product page from Facebook because of this garbage.

    Good thing, NeoFinder already has a nice Fediverse page, which is free, doesn't spy on you, doesn't require an account, doesn't finance nazis and other questionable behavior.

    Time to leave that brown hellhole.

    I just wonder if meta has financial problems causing this idiotic idea?

    What is "Meta"?
    Sounds like this one kind of drug ...

    (Fun Fact: The company itself was figure out, their system is behaving as like a drug to people, the users, for years ... and them was not doing anything against.)

    All of their crap not enters my sourrounding.
    Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram ... nope!

    @drgeo I can't. I could with Twitter (and before Elon took it) because it was only "professional relationship" and I knew our professional bubble of FLOSS digital painting was already very active here on the Fediverse.
    But on Facebook, it's old aunt, cousins, fans I met at signing session, that always leave a nice comments and follow weekly, 16K in total.
    Even if Facebook act like a bandit, if I leave, they'll shadow ban my message of leaving, and I'll get blamed by the audience for doing it.

    @lunovox Yes, not wise and not intelligent, to stay in a deal with one side behaving like a bandit: taking (content) without giving back the opportunity for the content creator to get support.
    Unfortunately, I used the two links with the two first comic of the month, just to link to the timelapse. To prevent "your art is AI" rain of messages. I'll have now to choose to remove this link, so I can post a monthly link and a blog post one time per month.

    @davidrevoy, perhaps you could try a planned exit: deciding on a date you stop publishing on FB and communicating that date, along with a link to peppercarrot.com via an extra slide in the comics (as well as in the footer of the main slides).

    You could also add the second link to the links section of the P&C Facebook page (see image).

    As for people who blame you for using AI in the comments... I doubt they're reading your comic anyway, because if they did, they'd probably know by now that you don't?

    Of course, I don't know how many of your patrons are following (and can only follow) you on Facebook specifically.

    I myself keep my FB profile essentially to use Messenger with friends and relatives whose other messaging apps don't intersect with mine. Other than that, FB is basically dead to me.

    @rq @lunovox Good ideas. Thank you for sharing. Yes, I might end up doing the same if Facebook prevent me to do the ABC of content creator living on Internet.
    Only keep a dormant account to keep the namespace, and keep the relation with distant family and old friends via Messenger (and encourage them to continue discussion on Signal App if they have, I often inform about that).

    @hacknorris It's complex for user to scan the QR code, if this one appears on the screen of the device they use to scan it. I say that, because according to the built in analytics, most of my Facebook audience check their timeline on smartphones. So, I'm not sure if they can have the possibility to do that, that's sad.

    @davidrevoy @hacknorris What happen if you use the same link in multiple posts? Does it count as one or many?
    If it's one, depending on what is included in the referrer tag of requests coming from Meta, you may setup a server that redirects to the relevant target based on the referrer :yay:

    @isagalaev A lot, sadly (~16K), and people I personally care, like very old friends, family nephew or nieces, an old person that used to be a friend of the parent of my wife before they passed away; they always interact under the comics, leave a little hello. Cutting the Facebook page would result cutting a bridge and presence in those fragiles relations...

    @davidrevoy yes… My question was snarky, but I totally feel what you're saying. I have a few of such connections myself. And those are usually people who aren't going to switch online platforms.

    I really hate how Facebook took so many of our relations hostage.

    How can you even tell? The mere favs counts can be faked. Probably is too, for some sinister psychology experiment.
    I am so, so glad that the Fediverse got created.

    @anlomedad @isagalaev You can tell they are still plenty of real person watching their timelines by meeting them IRL.

    I have plenty of feedback eg. from far away family who came at my wedding explained in the monthly report and who engaged discussion about my recent comics, saying they followed them on Fb, or when I do signing session, and you meet many amazing persons saying with shyness they follow on Facebook.

    Yes, the way the post are shown, the stats can all be faked, but this, not much.

    @skobkin I think I heard some creators who got ban for promoting other platforms. eg. Fediverse on Instagram, if I remember. I'll investigate those stories before trying.
