#Landmark #antitrust trial could force #Zuckerberg to sell #Instagram
#QuitMeta use #opensource alternatives
#Element , #PixelFed instead
TIL that #NellyFurtado's famous song Maneater is about Facebook- and Instagram-remorse.
"You wish you never ever Meta at all."
#Signal adoption is really going well in the #Netherlands, these last few months! Found this lying on the coffee table in a church, yesterday—instructions on how to install Signal for the parishioners. Every day I get notifications for more contacts who've joined.
Getting my friends off #Meta and on the #Fediverse is going... less well. But I try not to let perfect be the enemy of good.
Despite the danger of sounding like a broken record:
We #Europeans must quit #fascist #propaganda channels like #X , #tiktok , as fucking soon as possible!
Make sure to educate our youth and get active to stop this madness!
Degrow X and Meta!

How do we get the #musicians to join the #Fediverse? I've tried to convince my colleagues to join #Pixelfed or #Mastodon, but haven't had much success. It is a community that can be surprisingly reluctant to embrace something different, digitally. (Also see: Apple products.)
They can also be quite ethically conscious people, so I've tried to approach it from that angle, but... Is there a succinct list of convincing arguments anywhere to help with these things?
J'ai fait quelques slides pour répondre à beaucoup de propos que je vois sur #Instagram
N'hésitez pas à vous les approprier

So is #JoinFediverseDay today or tomorrow?
I imagine that @PixelFed's servers are getting overwhelmed by traffic these days.
I'm lucky to already have a pixelfed.social account. Still, in order not to add to @dansup's server load, I am taking the plunge:
this morning I'll try to set up my own #Pixelfed instance, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost (Pixelfed is in their list of apps).
I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
TIL that on #Meta platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrants… with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a #Fediverse project like #Pixelfed, the post is automatically removed.
Meta “moderation” policies in 2025: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and sexism are allowed; mention of competition is strictly forbidden.
Having The Chat™ with my mom today (about leaving WhatsApp):
*It's OK I don't really care. I'm an old woman who has nothing to hide. I say nothing sensitive.
-Mum, you talk to me.
*Yes.
-And I'm currently employed as an environmental activist, right?
*Yes.
-So everytime you ask "How's work?" that's now a sensitive and potentially targeted communication.
*Ohhhh.
She got it and is on board now.
The rest of the family might be a tougher ask.
