When Facebook proclaims to be a place for people to stay in touch with their friends and families, connect with others and such, it is like a Mall pretending it is not a shopping center, but a place where friends and families can meet and greet. Just because Malls have added some benches, trees, and playgrounds for kids, it does not make them a communal place for people to meet others, relax, and have a fun time. They are still shopping centers and all they want is for you to consume their products. To trade your currency for their stuff.

Similarly, Facebook is a place where you trade your data/attention/currency to them - it is an ad platform - regardless if they added "benches and trees", or messengers, photo albums and a comment section for posts. They still are an ad platform.

Don't be fooled!

Malls are shopping centers, and Facebook is an ad (trade) platform, together with youtube, twitter, tiktok, google search and pretty much all websites nowadays.

So, fuck them. Use tromsite.com/tools/ for your own sanity. #tromlive

Two more applications added to our trom.tf/ - but both are under "The following may not work properly, or are not fully trade-free:". So please be aware of that. We added Wallabag as bag.trom.tf and Framaforms as forms.trom.tf.

Right now we provide 18 trade-free services! 12 work perfectly fine. 1 is not customized. and 5 are mostly not properly customized/configured or are not very stable. #tromlive

Tomorrow, a new TROM-Cast live here tromsite.com/live/

We are talking about this new word "deplatforming" and what are the implications of it. How a few companies can mute anyone they want, and what repercussions does it have.

Anyone can participate via chat or video/audio. The info links will be posted on our live-chat a few minutes before or after the live will begin. If you want to follow us directly on Peertube see this link videos.trom.tf/videos/watch/10…

See you there! #tromlive
