Having recently ditched its professional fact checkers, Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms, is waging what commentators have called "the war on facts", side by side with Donald Trump and Elon Musk . Sounds just about the right time to leave Meta for good and never look back?

Leaving Meta's services will require some efforts - but supporting each other in the transition can make it so much easier.

Er du også klar til at forlade Facebook, Instagram og WhatsApp? Men er du også i tvivl om hvilke alternativer der er og ønsker at følges ad med nogen?

Vi er mange, der er klar til at frigøre os fra Metas sociale medier, der på godt og ondt har fastholdt os i så mange år. Og lige nu virker det til, at det rent faktisk er momentum for at få skabt en masse-migration væk fra Meta – men hvor skal vi bevæge os til?

Dear newcomers, if you plan to bulk-upload years worth of #Instagram or #Flickr photos, please consider tossing a coin to your admin if you can.

The server you're on is most likely run by a private individual, and its storage space for media files is not endless. Your donation helps your admin pay hosting costs and upgrade the server if needed.

So, seems threads posts are lagging their ability to be available in the fediverse, past the normal 15 minutes. Could be just a temporary thing for @mosseri & @zuck to see if we care (we do), but clarifies that all of meta is unreliable now.

Come on now, we know meta is degrading, but I hate it.

Leave meta's platforms as much as you can since no matter what we do, they'll degrade further. Your connections & businesses cannot rely on meta any longer.

Leave Meta’s Platforms (available at link in comment too)

We cannot rely on facebook, instagram, threads, whatsapp, or any of them.

To put this in the most stark terms possible: we cannot stand in a room owned by someone with bad intentions, with the air itself controlled by them, and hope to win a fight against them. Staying in the room with our communities is not a solve. We will suffocate.

I like the fact that Tumblr allows multiple different blogs under one user.

I've now set up a replacement Tumblr page for my Marine Mammal News Facebook Page.

Shame to lose the followers I've gained over the years, but given how flooded the Facebook home feed is with unwanted crap, I doubt many people see my posts these days.

If you have Tumblr, follow me at: https://marine-mammal-news.tumblr.com/

I started a @pixelfed account 2 years ago, but never used it. Now it's just about ready for prime time (mobile apps in beta), so help me join the #metamigration away from IG and set up shop in the visual #fediverse

You can follow me directly from Mastodon (or start your own Pixelfed account)

Please screen cap this to dunk on me later if I get this #HotTake profoundly wrong.

The #RedditMigration is going to cause a bigger disruption to the fediverse than either the #TwitterMigration or #MetaMigration.
