Mad at meta?
Open your Instagram or Facebook app
Yeah, keep on using facebook and twitter, I’m sure they’ll be pissed.
What a joke of an article.
Keep using fuck book, just change some settings and maybe block some things in your browser. They even advise “turn off location access for meta apps” and “disable your phone’s advertising ID”, like those make any difference (apps can still infer location from IP address and nearby wifi and Bluetooth devices). Never mind how the back ends can associate all sorts of other data to determine your location.
I’ve never had a Facebook account, I’ve never even been on the website, yet Zucktard has a profile on me. And I’ve blocked scripts in my browsers since 2005.
The suggestions in this article won’t do anything, and give a false sense of making a difference.
Everyone keeps posting this kind of stuff, but offers no viable alternative for a local social media platform. I’m a musician and rely on these platforms to promote events and music. There are no viable alternatives at this point.
I like the idea of decentralized sites, but no one is on them right now.
Don’t feel bad in your case. Network effect is still there, and concerts will be the last things that will move from Facebook.
QR code and website.
Lemmy/Mastodon
Call people.
Or, just stay under the devil. It’s not like anyone’s going to make any effort.
None of those are anywhere near as effective. You can blame the users, but the ones in charge and the politicians that let it happen are shitty, not the users.
A federated notification system.
Huh?
Kinda thinking out loud, It just seems like we could come up with a purpose built way to keep everyone connected to organizations outside of networks.
Whole heartedly agree. Mastodon is getting there, but no one i know is on it.
