     @pixelfed This must be read in the same tone Kain used when addressing the elder god at the end of “Defiance”.

     “Your words are heartening. For you would not fear us unless we could truly do you harm. False god. This is the end. The final turn of your wheel.”

     @pixelfed Honestly, this is the worst open letter I've ever read. It lacks maturity and professionalism. It's full of snarky comments and a tone that doesn't encourage an adult conversation.
     He had the chance to show Meta is the one acting like a child, but instead he made himself sound like one. And that's sad.

     @pixelfed I may not be an economist, but generally when they gush about innovations that selflessly want to connect people, they’re generally talking about marketing more than edenic community…no offense to the love-machine of laissez-faire of course

     @pixelfed Awesome, but the one catch here is that he probably didn't develop (with other people, not alone) Facebook for idealistic reasons. It's more likely that he wanted to get laid, and help other horny college dudes get laid. The original Facebook has been credibly accused of being a stalking app, and I find that very easy to believe. Nothing he's done has indicated to me that he actually gives a shit about users, and nothing he says has any meaning for me without evidence to back it up.

     @pixelfed I noticed something similar a year or so ago. Any time I would share photos of my kids with family members or whatever, I would create a public share link to the album on my Nextcloud server, with an expiration date, and then share that link on Facebook. All of a sudden one day I started noticing that the posts would get deleted a few minutes after I posted them, then they started blocking me from posting the links outright.

     @pixelfed To be honest I would be really surprised if this was on purpose and not a malfunction of their spam filters. Pixelfed isn't in the same ballpark as Instagram, struggling to think how having a company policy to filter out its links would be worth the bad publicity - for basically no reason?

     @pixelfed When Facebook started it was not about "connecting people", it was about rating girls' fuckability on campus.

     "It was about connecting people, not maximizing engagement metrics."

     No. It was exactly NOT about connecting people. It never was. It was about making money. Ever since.

     Am I really one of the last people left on planet earth remembering Mark Z. having written "I don't know why. They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks." about facebook users? I cannot believe this...
