Meta messing with Indivisible just as No Kings begins. SpaceX shutting down Starlink right when the Russians launch a deadly attack on Ukraine. Meta censoring Lula and promoting Bolsonaro days before the Brazilian election.
This is the future that big tech has given us. This is where we are today...
censorship, damage, route around.
They have no idea what they're creating trying to fuck with us this way.
@mastodonmigration I think the original toot was blocked
@fabiocosta0305 It's a bug. I can see the quote without problems. @mastodonmigration
@mastodonmigration let's not forget the old classic https://qz.com/apple-airdrop-china-protest-tool-1849824435
@mastodonmigration yes, we must move off of and become less dependent on meta platforms as much as possible.
I wrote about why:

@mastodonmigration @tchambers People haven’t moved off Meta because there aren’t other places that do the same thing. If Mastodon or Fediverse want to get serious about displacing Facebook, you need to make a network that is at least as usable. This means you can’t be antithetical or apathetic about what real people who are not giant tech nerds and privacy advocates want to do here. That means things like fixing search to do something useful, making primitives like events and groups work, providing a marketplace, and encouraging self promotion or building an alternative ad network that doesn’t violate privacy. For goodness sake, still impossible to read a Mastodon thread and all its replies in any way that makes sense, because no nested commenting.
Until those efforts become serious, and part of the network protocol, nobody can really take Mastodon or the Fediverse seriously as a potential replacement for modern social media.
@suzannealdrich Unfortunately, these are indeed the problems of the Fediverse that must be solved.
@mastodonmigration Let's say it clearly: the connections between #bigTech and US fascism. Both also actively finance ultra-rights in Europe for years and try to influence elections in Europe. It's nothing new, they do it for years. New is only their arrogance to think that nobody will fine them even for such a big public acting. How long will the world watch it passively?
