    What if cell #phone carriers only let you talk/text with people on the same carrier network? Everyone would need to carry 4 different sim cards, similar to having multiple accounts.

    Sounds terrible? Good. That's what #Facebook is doing now.

    • Jabber and XMPP related group
    @rw A few family members complain that I can’t see their calendar events, but the biggest annoyance I have with not being a #Facebook user is all the people that say “did you see what cousin so and so just said?” and then stick their phones in my face.

    If I wanted to see all that random garbage, I would still have an account.

    Yes, but how can we get in touch with you?

    Let me count the ways:
    * call
    * text
    * !XMPP
    * #Wire
    * #Ring / #Jami
    * e-mail
    * in person
    * contact any of my sons, nephews, siblings, my youngest niece, the cousin that lives in TX, or my mom and ask them to forward

    Demonstrably not true for my S7 portable #surveillance and #tracking device. You can install #LineageOS if your phone supports it. Better yet: S3 with #Replicant.

    Robert #Habeck verabschiedet sich von #Twitter und #Facebook. Ein konsequenter aber in seiner Position auch sehr mutiger Schritt.

    Ich würde mir wünschen mehr Politiker (und öffentliche Einrichtungen) hätten den Mut.

    • Christmas Personified as a Catgirl
    @moonman I think everyone has that problem. My mom and one of my brothers obtained some photos from my childhood and uploaded them to #Facebook recently. And then there are all the photos taken at a recent family wedding (also uploaded to FB).

    @mike
    Yeah, I agree that the headline is hyperbolic.

    However, the cross-site-scripting vulnerability seems pretty significant. The idea that someone who manages to inject a bit of javascript into a website would be able to send span signed with my private key is pretty alarming. Not *too* alarming right now, because they'd have to inject JS into #facebook, #twitter, or #reddit, or #hackerNews.

    Even so, it seems like a big enough vulnerability that I wish they'd taken it more seriously.

    https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-facebook-is-powerless-to-stop-its-own-descent/ [ZDNet]

    The article claims fewer people trust #Facebook and “user engagement” is falling while growth has slowed.

    While I do want Facebook and other #corpocentric sites to lose their attractiveness to the people that currently use them, I think the author writes from Disney’s Fantasyland instead the real world.

    @delores @ocean I think the amount of data being uploaded from the 8 or 9 out of 10 people using Windows dwarfs the data from Google's clumsy web-based tracking scripts. Despite #Google's intrusive data-collection, I think they still have less info on most people than either #Facebook or #Microsoft.

    That said, we don't have to choose either one (except at work / school, where the choice is made for us by people who do not have our welfare in mind).

    @poetgrant @emsenn

    I'm tempted have a similar blog-post reading list, but I know I'd forget way too many posts that are absolutely foundational to the way I think/approach certain problems.

    (I remember having the same problem way back when #facebook was invite-only for academic institutions and prompted you for a list of "favorite books". It wasn't that I couldn't come up with anything—I just *knew* I'd leave something crucial out!)

    Apparently, #facebook has 1 moderator for every 260,000 users. (https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xwk9zd/how-facebook-content-moderation-works)

    I wonder what the average ratio on #mastodon is? I think my instance has on the order of 1000× more moderators per user, which feels about right.

    Really, anything below 1 mod per 500 users seems stretched pretty thin to me. *Maybe* 1 per thousand.

    But I'm coming from a small instance and have a background in small communities. What ratio seems right to y'all?

    HT @nolan for linking the article above
