Tonight I read this excellent #Lemmy post

regarding John Oliver's show night on the topic of "Facebook & Content Moderation".

The whole show is extremely informative about Meta, but being "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" there were quite a few f-bombs. Only watch the video if you really want the whole story and are not sensitive to the language. #fbomb #fbombs

John Oliver promoted this website:
"How to change your settings
to make yourself less valuable to Meta"

I have already followed the steps.

The show also briefly mentioned #Signal, #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, and #BlueSky as Meta alternatives. #MetaAlternatives
Personally I am on the #Fediverse with #GoToSocial (same protocol as Mastodon - #ActivityPub) and #PixelFed.
As well as Lemmy, #Telegram, and #Matrix.
If you want information on these networks just ask me.

Like some I am still on Meta: Facebook and #Instagram because it's where many of our friends, family, and colleagues are, and don't plan leaving... yet. In the meantime we can lessen our value to Meta and their advertisers.
None of the alternatives I use have #advertisers or #algorithms. It's all #community driven, #funded, and guided by #hashtags and other means.

I’m going to make it a 3-way tie for the #fbomb on #Momocrats today, although I think @AlizaWrites probably should get a special callout because it was so sincere.

Anyway, a really interesting episode and the discussion of the role of the #media and suggestion for alternate sources is a solid gold segment.

New tshirt day #startrek #starwarsday and last but not least the #fbomb shirt which I’ll be wearing for awhile just for work

Elon Musk had a few choice words to say
While being questioned in a recent interview
The New York Times' DealBook Summit made the news
When Elon's responses were said at full volume
His colorful language caused some strife
When he dropped an F-bomb on advertisers for his life
But Elon's come too far from where he began

Jon Stewart nails it on the issue of guns. Especially when he compares all the constraints on the right to vote and free speech with the Right's rabid pursuit of unconstrained Second Amendment rights.

Why can we all give a flying fuck like he does?

with lauren #boebert dropping an #fbomb in #congress, some might enjoy reading a short story by #kurtvonnegut in 1972 that predicted exactly this.
