"What do you lose by using Facebook", asked a friend who is keen to keep his account there for some reason.
What made me leave was the manipulation. I mean: they started hiding your friends posts in order to show you adverts instead! Feeding you slop from their promoted posts and "viral" messages (that aren't actually boosted by anyone, just picked out by their megaphone to show to everyone).
If you let the algorithm determine what you see than you let it determine what you are, who you become.
Even if you think it's better at finding shiny things than you, even if you think it builds the parasocial relationships that you want, even if you think it's saving you time to let the robot manage your reading-list: if you are letting Facebook, or any algorithm written by advertisers, do your reading selection then you are letting Facebook decide who you are.
On behalf of the advertisers who bribe them the most.
This is why you gotta use RSS. You gotta use the chronological timelines not the "for you" feeds. You gotta build follow relationships that you choose and understand because otherwise, you are letting the corporation and it's systems determine these things. You are abdicating some control of your very self to the machine.
Not to mention that we have to stop feeding money to the evil multi-trillion dollar companies built to control and manipulate us through our relationships with our friends. They have enough money, they need less participation not more.

Thank you MP Leah Gazan for presenting Jay Woodruff’s petition calling for a Disability Commissioner.
PWDs deserve dignity & the right to live above poverty. The Canada Disability Benefit rollout is a botched mess under Minister Hajdu—inaction has left thousands in despair. #fediverse #canpoli #canpoli #disability #disabilitybenefits

Dieser Beitrag https://troet.cafe/@padeluun@digitalcourage.social/115255464409586147 hat (inklusive Antworten) mich erkennen lassen, dass ich die Struktur von Mastodon/Fediverse noch immer nicht ganz verstanden habe. Man hat sich (mit Recht? - ich weiß es nicht) über die Person hinter mastodon beschwert, ihre Einflussnahme etc. Ich wusste noch nicht mal, dass es eine gGmbH hinter Mastodon gibt, einen Geschäftsführer, 1/2

AI-Consultant werden? 🤖 Oder Teamleitung bleiben?
Hallo #Fediverse! Wechsel-Dilemma:
Option 1: AI-Consultant (Homeoffice, spannende Projekte) ✨
Option 2: Teamleitung bleiben (sicher, weniger Innovation) 🏭
Background:
15+ Jahre Engineering + IT-Skills 💻
KI/Digitalisierung wird größerer Teil meiner Arbeit 📊
Viele KI-Projekte warten 🚀
Frage:
Ähnliche Wechsel gemacht? Führung→Fachrolle riskant? 🤔

Okla.Social will never run ads, sell data, or chase engagement metrics. Our current donations are still less than what it takes to keep this service running for you though. We are down to $4.71 per week, below our goal of $12.66 to keep things going. Can you please help?
Our servers cost money, so if you can, donate at liberapay.com/okla.social. Donors get a tag, good vibes, and our eternal thanks. 🐘💚
