@bitsoffreedom Er is een goed alternatief voor #MetaGarbage @quodari Jammer dat juist deze organisaties zo afhankelijk blijven van #bigtech en dit is nog maar het begin. Dit gaat vervlakte gebeuren. Stop nu eens met #facebook #instagram en #whatsapp er zijn genoeg goede alternatieven @loops

The Case for Dumping FaceBook and Threads
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Yesterday afternoon I was trolled by an American account of a person living in Germany. I commented on the absurdity of bicycle lanes that are just two hundred meters long and the troll account said "be happy to have that". I felt like answering in a hostile manner. I refrained from doing this. I deleted my threads account instead.
You might see this as overkill, but there is something to be said about dumping toxic antisocial media sites. We invest our time and attention on Facebook, Twitter, Bluesky and Threads and if we report accounts, over and over, only to be told that they do not breach their codes of conduct rules, then they have squandered their chance to keep us as customers.
Months ago I reported troll accounts spreading hate and hostility towards cyclists and eventually I was ghosted. Instead of being sad, and offended, I deactivated my account, and I haven't missed Facebook (FB) since. The reality of the situation is that if we are on a social networks we use it to be surrounded by like minded people. We are there to have a good time, and we are there for a sense of community.
When I was trolled on Threads, yesterday afternoon Facebook owned Threads breached the social contract, by tolerating these accounts. It's not that you're trolled once a week, or once a month. It is that you are trolled on a daily basis.
Algorithmic Noise
I believe that the problem with trolls on FB, TW and Threads is based on algorithms. Until 2020 or earlier we followed people, and we chose what we saw. We chose whether to look at one topic, or one thread. We chose who we followed, and that shaped who else we saw. In algorithmic "social" media we see what algorithms want us to see. We see the lowest common denominator.
The consequence of this algorithmic skewing of what we see affects two things. It affects how complicated it is to find a community, because who we follow has no effect on what we see, but it also forces us to see accounts that we don't want to see in the first place.
The result is that this noise, over time becomes toxic, and that toxic noise impacts how happy, or hostile we are. Eventually we all become toxic, as a result of using Threads and Facebook. That's why I dumped Facebook, and Threads. I don't want to be hostile, or toxic. I know that by reducing the time I spend on FB and Threads it has a positive impact on my mental well being.
A Two Way Street
If Facebook owned social media sites and apps want to keep us, they need to respect us as individuals, and stop seeing us as addicted users. They need to respect our morals and values, and work towards helping preserve Human Rights, rather than demeaning them. As I write this Facebook, whitewashed as Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content. Facebook has to respect its users, if it wants to retain its monopoly.
And Finally
Too many social media sites forget that they are social networks first, and social media second. By this I mean that social media, without social networks is just broadcasting. It's just a one way, passive flow of information. Terms like "doom scrolling" reflect this passive approach to social media. Social media has a social network underlying the site or app.
If the social network is forgotten about, as was the case with Facebook, and Threads, and Twitter, then users leave. They disengage, and then the site becomes a ghost, as is the case of Flickr, Yahoo and Myspace, to name a few.
Why should we use social media sites that do not respect us?

¿Censura masiva? Meta restringe información de salud reproductiva y grupos LGBTQ+
En las últimas semanas, una ola de inquietud ha recorrido a organizaciones que trabajan en salud reproductiva, acceso al aborto y derechos LGBTQ+ alrededor del mundo. Lo que empezó como casos aislados se convirtió en un patrón: Meta restringe cuenta tras cuenta, afectando a grupos que dependen de estas plataformas para brindar información vital a miles de personas. Para muchas de estas comunidades, las redes sociales no son un canal más, sino su principal puente hacia recursos, acompañamiento y seguridad.
Este escenario ha levantado alarmas entre activistas y especialistas, quienes consideran estas acciones como una de las “mayores olas de censura” de los últimos años. Mientras Meta insiste en que sus políticas no han cambiado, los testimonios de organizaciones bloqueadas, suspendidas o con visibilidad reducida apuntan en otra dirección. La tensión crece: ¿estamos ante decisiones aisladas de moderación o frente a una tendencia global que impactará directamente en el derecho a la información?

" #Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to #abortion access providers, #queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.
The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the #Facebook, #Instagram and #WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide, some serving tens of thousands of people – in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms. Many of these were from #Europe and the #UK, however the bans also affected groups serving women in #Asia, #LatinAmerica and the #MiddleEast."
