@vegos I agree. To most organizations, their primary concern is reach. So they congregate on big #corpocentric #socnets, even when the central corporation running things is actively hostile to their point of view.
Then they're butthurt when their accounts are shadowbanned.
Years ago, I tried to persuade some local Black churches and ethic-focused organizations to join !GNUsocial and #Diaspora, but was unsuccessful. I think they all joined #Facebook, where their posts are hidden by the algorithms. -

Excellent interview with Roger McNamee, one of the early backers of Facebook and Zuckerberg's mentor:
He now deeply regrets what Facebook has become:
"The business model of converting lives into data, and then using that data to manipulate behaviour... that's just morally wrong."

...I thought #Diaspora and #Friendica (and #Hubzilla) *were* alternatives to #Facebook... Just like #Facebook, they have long-form posts, media, replies, likes, tags, and (different from #Facebook) #Federation! -

With "clear history," #Facebook is clearly attempting to placate an angry public and defend itself against scrutiny, but they're leaving it up to you to protect your privacy, when they shouldn't be collecting your data in the first place. https://u.fsf.org/2kh -

I updated my blog. I dunno how good my writing is, but I hope I can cover things well.
https://whole-net-digest.retrodigital.net/wp/2018/05/01/on-the-future-of-the-net/
I want to expand my blog eventually, and feature interviews and the like. If you have any suggestions, please give me a toot!

I've realized something. It's hard to make something like #SDF or #tildetown and attract people. People still want ease of use, despite the fact that their privacy, liberty and so on is endangered when they use sites like #Birdsite and #Facebook. I suppose only a simple web interface is the real option for most of these cases, because otherwise 90% of people will scoff at it. We need something like the #freedombox . but "automatic" and instantly deployable to achieve true success I feel.

Still have a #Twitter and #Facebook account...
Birdsite I never even really use nowadays, and I never even post on Facebook. I don't know what's holding me back from deleting these accounts... well, I have family on Facebook, but nothing like that on twitter.
I kinda want to delete my facebook tho even if family is on there because family keeps posting stuff about #vaccines causing #autism. I only shake my head whenever I hear that.
Tips anyone?

Good evening #SDF and the wider #fediverse! Played some #Tekken today with friends and kicked butt with Kazuya, although shortly later I got my butt kicked by a Asuka player! Man I love #fighting games, always great fun to have tournaments with your buds. Anyways, today I saw an instance of #peertube setup and I thought that was awesome, eventually I'd like to setup my own instance of it. Lets keep fighting the good fight and not hand over our digital lives to #google and #facebook!

Good evening #SDF and the wider #Fediverse! I'm still working on getting myself free from the clutches of #google and #comcast, but I feel like I'm 50% of the way there. I still use #twitter and #facebook, but feel bad about it. I can't give up facebook over night like I can twitter however, as it's the only way to really get in contact with family for now. How do you peeps deal with having to use a service you want no part of? Also, #MetaARPA is scheduled for next month at this rate :D

#Twitter and #Facebook are about the least "open, transparent" organizations I can think of (well, also Google, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Microsoft, and all other members of the #Free-As-In-Gratis #But-We-Own-Your-Data spectrum). Openness and Transparency are orthogonal to Federation, although the Closed, Proprietary corporations are also the ones least likely to federate. You raise an interesting point about !Fediverse instances placing commercial advertising on their instances, and incurring all the surveillance and tracking issues of commercial advertising agencies. I would not want my instance to participate in their federation -- so, we need a method to block other instances, whether for NSFW reasons, commercialization and surveillance concerns, or any other reason. Hey, @MMN: Another !GNUsocial #FeatureRequest! -
