A reminder for people who want to limit their Meta consumption

Share to social media
A reminder for people who want to limit their Meta consumption - The typical meme where a girl glares at a guy who looks away at another girl. Above the angry girl are the logos of the Meta apps. Above the other girl are the logos of the Fediverse, WordPress, etc.

The announcement that Meta to end fact-checking program on Facebook and Instagram in the US is causing rivers of ink to flow on the networks.

In this post, @joenepraat@todon.nl serves up a funny take on the famous meme and reminds us of the alternatives we have.

It has been difficult for me abandon X (after having dedicated so much time and effort, going so far as to write a book about Twitter in 2012 (read about that feat in The Little Big Twitter Manual) and get more than 103K followers).

Now is also the time to abandon META, although I fear that leaving Whatsapp will become a kind of pipe dream.

Here are the alternatives that exist:

WhatsApp > Signal (https://signal.org)
Instagram > Pixelfed (https://pixelfed.org)
Threads > Mastodon (https://joinmastodon.org)
Facebook > Friendica (https://friendi.ca), Hubzilla (https://hubzilla.org)

Thanks to joenepraat for the meme and for the reminder.
