Nice!
I finally gave my all-but unused Instagram account the heave-ho last week. Left with a "Am tired of Meta's enshittification of their sites.." message.
Besides I have a pro account on Flickr, (for a loooong time - from when it was a yahoo property) and that is SO much quieter and friendly since it's just about photographs.
Yeah, twatter needs to meet a slow, costly, end for Musk.
Ever considered joining pixelfed?
I'll have to check that out, thanks!
My online photos aren't so much social media "look at meeee!" but more "here's the photos you need, I took a bunch of the new merch so you should find something that works.." for my co-workers.
but it might be overdue
By at least two years. Better late than never, I guess, but EFF should have been one of the first ones jumping ship to newer, freer options.
EFF should probably be the last one to leave. You wanna reach idiots on Xitter, being on Xitter is the most effective way to do that.
Given their description it sounds like it's more of an issue of the algorithm and conservation of org resources. Their campaigning there is almost completely ineffective. They've been shoved down the list by the likes of Elon and the Rogan "manosphere".
We should make a resposter account on shitter that posts all EFF mastodon posts. Append the phrase "Resposted from mastodon, please post responses here: [mastodon link]"
Their campaigning there is almost completely ineffective. They’ve been shoved down the list by the likes of Elon and the Rogan “manosphere”.
Well, yeah, because the fascists that run Shitter hate the EFF and everything it stands for. And they ain't very subtle about how they were trying to shape the platform into some right-wing white supremacist haven.
Again, this is a predictable turn of events, and they should have left much earlier.
Doesn't matter if it's predictable or not, you keep doing it as long as it's effective.
any corporation or institution still using Xitter deserves no respect, attention or business
took you long enough.
Honestly wonder if it was due to that interview with Jon Stewart where an EFF representative was basically told that if you're not on Twitter (X) you're not relevant to the discussion, effectively. While I don't agree with that, I think that the EFF not leading by example means it's hard to argue that other people should leave to bluseky or mastodon.
I get the network effect, but there was a very clear line on Twitter and anyone still there are absolutely part of the problem no matter their justification.
Just followed on Mastodon
There should be a way to view Mastodon posts in Lemmy, cause you know we're in fediverse
Mbin should be able to do that.
Tldr, it's like lemmy with ability to view and post mastodon and cousins
How about piefed? or It's just the same as lemmy?
I don't think it can do that. Though tbf when I had a mbin account I didn't really try the micro blogging features
I love EFF! Been off X for a long time.
We're winning! Keep up the food work everyone. I know the EFF won't be leaving the Fediverse, so let's make sure we're all doing what we can as well!
X is just filled with bots anymore
What the F took you so long???
They craved the reach.
This is what convinces many people to stay. They desire the attention. And the accounts desperate for attention range from big companies, to small artists.
What the EFF
