The panic flop-sweat coming off Zuck is warming my heart. I have a growing suspicion their internal numbers point to them being screwed

same!

Just like Musk towards BlueSky.

I'm just saying, I only have 1150 friends on Facebook and don't use it too much anymore, but I shared picelfed directly from their site to my Facebook page and it's still up a day later with a few likes. Am I not a big enough account? I did post something about Sednaya prison and that got zapped.

Honestly I think this kind of shit should be strictly illegal. If you own a platform that uses speech, you cannot be allowed to censure mentions of your competitors.

Pathetic little weak weasel.

If only we were going to have a FTC who cares about antitrust matters. This is blatant antitrust. It isn’t even arguable.

That is genuinely free speech in that it IS their platform, but they can't also claim to be supporting the concept of free speech by not censoring people for being bigots too.

FB is simple software platform ( all the clever stuff will be in the advertising and payment systems). Their wealth is their database they’ll protect. Their database contains all the data and profiling of their subscribers. Competitors should be easy if they can get the FB subscribers to switch

Free speech roots? Sure Mark

Too bad laws won't apply to friends of 47 now.

Mike, we have talked about this before...but, they commit to a concept of "free speech" that seems to be maximalist and not precisely connected to Constitutional protections...it gets quite confusing and transactional b/c taken together, it makes very little coherent sense

I mean they haven't stolen the concept, just the word. When they use it, it's about as meaningful as when Republicans use the word freedom.

Wow didn’t know there was a competitor -how great!! Personally not a fan of Insta but will share for those who are

@mmasnick.bsky.social It was a bug. They just meant to hide them. Not block them so everybody would know.

Ah thanks for highlighting the Instagram competitor

Someone should look into whether this is anticompetitive conduct

I've been looking for an alternative to Instagram for a while now because it's turned to trash. Looks like I need to check this one out!

For what it's worth, I posted my Pixelfed profile to my Facebook feed this afternoon and it's still there. Posted as a comment the 404Media story about Meta nuking Pixelfed links. It's still there, too. All that said it hasn't gotten much engagement or traction, so ....

Lmao so this is how I learn of the existence of pixelfed which seems interesting.

I have never even heard of Pixelfed before now, so it's nice to see the Streisand Effect is still going strong.

Haven’t we seen this show before?

The whole "free speech" shtick is such transparent bullshit from all of them.
