Meta, Facebook's parent company, is looking to launch their own fediverse platform. Some people are already advocating to block it en masse.

happy to say I just got banned from the donald community
  • Reactionaries from different nations are heads of the same hydra. Russian tankies, USA magas, west Asian ISIS, etc . . . they all suffer from the same character flaws.

    Those "russian" bots and troll farms are likely funded by American tankies/conservatives/terrorists.

  • Meta is a danger to the fediverse and we have to be prepared
  • "They care about their company and increasing value for their stakeholders."

    Capitalist corporations don't give a fuck about stakeholders - i.e. the workers who depend on income from the company for their livelihood, and the users who have integrated their product into their lives.

    The company only cares about leeching money into the pockets of its shareholders - i.e. the parasitic owners who contribute nothing of value to the company or its stakeholders.

  • A link to a general purpose fediverse FAQ would be helpful.

    Earlier today, I tried visiting communities from other instances, for example /c/[email protected], but got a bunch of 404 errors when using this url - https://dataterm.digital/c/[email protected] - and I have no idea why.

  • Prosecutors in Indiana misinterpret digital surveillance data and use that 'evidence' to put an innocent citizen in jail.
  • Some guy was accused of a serious crime and sent to jail pending a trial.

    As a condition for being released from jail before the trial, he and his family had to install monitoring software on their internet-capable devices, and the accused was banned from using the internet. The developer of that software explicitly says its not suitable for criminal justice work.

    An investigative journalist for Wired tested the software and found that it was picking up internet traffic from background processes on their phone, which made it look like the journalist had recently visited a website that in fact he had only visited before installing the monitoring software but not after.

    This isn't the only case where data collected by the unsuitable-for-purpose monitoring software has landed people in jail, despite the fact that the data it provides does not indicate whether the logged internet use happened before or after a court order is issued to not use the internet.

    A court used an app called Covenant Eyes to surveil the family of a man released on bond. Now he’s back in jail, and tech misuse may be to blame.
