Mention Pixelfed, get banned on Facebook/Instagram.

Meanwhile, we just started respectfulplatforms.org

Every friend you save from Meta's ecosystem is one less person whose digital life can be erased at Zuck's whim.

Spread the word.

β€œStay classy”? When were they ever?

But I’ll be sure to check out the β€˜mention the Fedi, get banned’ way to step out :-)

was flagged as spam... haha good joke. I reported lot of accounts in past that are spreading s*x, spam and illegal content. There was never anything done on Meta.

Is #Meta scared about the #Fediverse? πŸ˜ƒ

in reply to pixelfed

oh my, is meta inc worse than x.com !?

that tells something.

in reply to pixelfed

Thx for the tip. I still have a old and mostly unused account on Facebook. I neber bothered to have me deleted. I might as well have them do the deleting for me. Worked with "x" too.

ah yes, they stopped 'fact checking' but they do have time to try and 'damage control' the news of the mass exodus without much success, goes to show where their priorities are

I could put my Pixelfed in my bio without any issues on Instagram. But I had some problems to post stories on Instagram one time when talking about other social media. When I wrote the names of the social apps and tried to send, it just gave some random error and didn't let me publish. When I tried to post again without the names, no error message appeared.

May I kindly ask what goals you would like to achieve by spreading the word?

needs a codename or emoji in the ilk of 'the bird app'

It’s like in Silo. If you say you want to go outside they make you do it.

Yay free speech Zuck style, be sure to brand LGBT people 'Freaks' [1] to be allowed to stay on.

Thankfully we have the fedi, where we are inclusive and respectful.

Trying to log onto pixelfed.social, and it won't let me log on. Tells me the server is not compatible or is unavailable.

Same thing with Mastodon. Discord invite links still work and I post my Fediverse links there.

rather disapointed to see no mention of accessibility or universal access anywhere in these rights
in reply to pixelfed

I once got a post flagged and deleted because I talked about how Threads is a lot more invasive to privacy than alternatives like Mastodon, with screenshots of the permissions the app requires :kerbal:

Meta immediately resorting to censoring any references to Pixelfed or alternative platforms *strongly* suggests they lack confidence in their own product, and that they know Instagram/Facebook are inherently less desirable after these policy changes.

This is shameful and cowardly, even by Mark Zuckerberg's standards. Did he not realize what happened to Elon Musk when he tried to pull the same trick? People still left Twitter in droves.

Censorship on Mastodon and Fediverse: πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘
Censorship on Meta products: πŸ–•πŸ‘ΏπŸ–•
in reply to pixelfed

I have my Lemmy and Mastodon addresses (I know you can use the same for both) burned into my FB profile picture.

If I took (decent) photos, I would put my Pixelfed.au address there too.

wasn't there also something about how they band Linux groups because they thought it was malicious or some shit.
