When food becomes inedible to disgusting: On Facebook, AI bots and fake accounts are flooding culinary groups to make a quick buck.

Gargron sez: "The fact that you can follow [the Threads account of] the president of the United States from your Mastodon account… is a huge W in my book."

Correction: The Biden account signals the failure of the fediverse, at least from the perspective of those who dreamed of a decentralized, noncommercial, community-owned social network that would replace the capitalist data mines and see mass adoption by public figures, journalists and government agencies.

That dream is dead. Instead, those figures and agencies will just sign up to another centralized proprietary Zuckerberg platform, and maybe check a box in their account settings for a bit of extra - and vaguely comprehended - syndication reach

Why #facebook is not using git

long answer here https://graphite.dev/blog/why-facebook-doesnt-use-git#why-and-how-facebook-migrated-off-git

In short, they have too much code/commits in one repo, and after some point it was making git slower in 2012 😂 12 years ago they broke git with their size. Then they moved to #mercurial

I never used mercurial before now I wonder 🤓

"After a wave of coverage in outlets like Rolling Stone and posts circulating on social media, the bot accounts are just now being noticed, and the reaction is confusion, frustration, and anger."

So this is cool. And by “cool” I mean fucked up & dystopian. Dead internet theory actively pursued as #Meta launched A.I.-generated profiles on #Instagram

I've shared this article yesterday, but I want to highlight this part:

'Meta has more than 3 billion users globally. In a wide-ranging statement, Zuckerberg said Meta would also “get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse” and “work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that are going after American companies and pushing to censor more”.

He cited Europe as a place with “an ever increasing number of laws institutionalising censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovative”'

This is an explicit threat to the #EuropeanUnion . Zuckerberg has fallen in line behind #ElonMusk and the incoming #Trump administration in order to promote #fascism around the world to a degree we haven't seen before. If you think that the situation is already bad - and it is - then you will nevertheless see that it _will_ get much worse.

2007 - get forced to leave #LiveJournal and join #Fecesbook because all my friends already did

2014 - delete 7 years worth of posts. Took me MONTHS

2016, 2018, 2021 - quit, deactivating in 2021 so I could keep messanger which I stopped using anyways. Haven't gone back

2025 - bye bye fuckbook

#PSA: I deleted all the #Meta/ #Facebook apps. Have you tried #Signal? It is co-founded and initially funded by Brian Acton, a co-founder of #WhatsApp. [1] Signal is better than WhatsApp in every possible way. @signalapp also has impermanent usernames for when you don't want to give out your number. Does audio/video/group chats as well.

Il va falloir enchaîner sur un #HelloQuitteMeta parce que le trip trumpiste de Zuckerberg est une abjection. Et "accessoirement" ce n'est pas à un patron américain d'imposer sa loi et sa vision du monde immonde sur l'Internet européen, merci bien.

Hey les Fédicamarades, on a pensé à un plan d'action pour aller fédérer les groupes publics des réseaux propriétaires (IG, FB surtout) ?
Parce que pour les artistes (spectacle ou plastique), les artisan·es ou les assos, je vois quelques motifs rédhibitoires de ne pas partir :
- une communauté acquise au long cours, atteignable sans effort et qu'il serait difficile de déplacer
- le tout petit nombre de gens déjà sur Masto = difficile de trouver un public
- la croyance que c'est "fermé" (alors qu'IG est giga fermé)
- l'interface en "fil" et non en page (donc pas une vitrine cohérente)
