Just like many other social media corporations Reddit is planning to require biometric / ID-verification of some users, to get ahead of this, we have prepared an alternative for you!

For everyone trying to get away from Big Tech.
For everybody who doesn't want to verify on Reddit in the future.
For everyone who loves the Fediverse just as much as we do!

🎉🎉🎉 Welcome to c/DeMeta: lemmy.world/c/DeMeta 🎉🎉🎉

Lemmy is a free, privacy focused (!), open-source, decentral alternative to Reddit.

You can learn more about it here:

Guess from now on;

many apologies will read like:
"Sorry my Asisstant-Intelligence made a mistake!"
"Sorry my AI ate my homework!"

and replies like:
"That sounds really tough. It's OK to feel sorry - here are 2 options for you to solve..."

Background:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DeMeta/comments/1s4e88e/meta_imagines_a_world_in_which_people_dont_even/

"One document showed a report with the results of a study from 2019, in which Meta conducted 24 in-person, one-on-one interviews with people whose usage of the product had been flagged as problematic — a designation that applies to an estimated 12.5% of users.

“The best external research indicates that Facebook’s impact on people’s well-being is negative,” the report says.

Multiple documents referenced statements from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram head Adam Mosseri about prioritizing teen time engagement. Zuckerberg even comments that in order for Facebook Live to succeed with teens, his “guess is we’ll need to be very good at not notifying parents / teachers.”"

"When Meta’s CEO announced 11,000 layoffs in 2022, a red-eyed Mark Zuckerberg was conciliatory: “It was one of the hardest calls that I’ve had to make in the 18 years of running the company,” he said at the time."

After that he got a taste for firing:
"Meta cut another 10,000 jobs and began a hiring freeze during Zuckerberg’s “year of efficiency” in 2023."

Who's next?

Seems like soon there will be no-one working there anymore ;)

Guess the EU also wants it's pound of flesh from the US verdict now?

In particular I love the sound of that:
"The outcome could influence thousands of similar cases against the tech companies brought by parents, attorneys general and school districts."

Warning: Graphic Video about the NeeDoh Microwave Trend?

TikTok is literally unhealthy for kids, I don't think most are ready for the crazy and unsafe stuff they get exposed to there.

Did you know Epstein's name & ancestors come from a town in Germany?
It's even called Eppstein!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein

They even had "nobles" - the Lords of Eppstein

Wonder if they were also pedos? But I guess back then it was a common thing for nobles to be...
Just some of that Epstein-Etymology-Trivia 🤷

"YouTube averaged 22 per cent misinformation, according to the findings, while Facebook averaged just under 15 per cent."

How is it "just" 15 per cent? IMO Isn't that 14,99999% more than it should be?

Our TikTok and Meta related content will from now on be at r/DeMeta and r/DeTikTok, which we launched today :)

Decided it's the right choice to focus here more on posts about Sustainability, Environment, Politics, AI and such.

More to come soon <3
Thanks friends!
