In theory, I agree, but in practice, I have used #Ring, the earlier version of #Jami. The experience was so poor that I can no longer get my in-person contacts to try anything that is not #Facebook / #Instagram / #Zoom. And that's without ever trying the #videochat functionality ... we only used text chats and it was still a really poor experience.

I've heard it got better, but of course, none of my in-person contacts will try it again. This also affects apps like #Briar and #Session.

@casey is remote I mean it still exists. I for one never joined #mySpace until they made it where you could login with your #faceBook account 😉 I'm always a late adopter, just signed up for #liveJournal just this year.

It would be nice to have a big chunk of the people who are using #corpocentric #socnets like #Twitter and #Facebook and #Instagram move some or all of their presence over to the #OStatus and #ActivityPub branches of the #Fediverse, but I'd much rather they come because they want to try something different instead of coming because they are fleeing some change or impending change over there.

Why? Because these networks will never give them everything that those did. I personally believe that these networks can give some benefits that those cannot, but thus far, we've mostly tried to replicate their functionality ... without the benefit of nearly unlimited VC cash and a centralized model which puts $CentralizedNetwork at the center of its users' communications, where benefits built upon centralized knowledge of users' actions / choices / contacts.

Therefore, in 2-3 weeks, I expect 9 out of 10 new users to have have returned to Twitter ... or to some centralized network that springs up to duplicate Twitter without the Musk factor.

This has happened before. Maybe not on this scale, but it has happened. Multiple times. And always, most of them leave.

They shouldn't make these kinds of claims. They know it is not true and everyone else knows also.

#Facebook's value proposition is "everybody you know is here" ... shutting out Europe would change it to "everybody you know, except those who live or have citizenship in Europe" and leave them open for retreating again when similar rules are enforced in Asia.

A #VPN provider that I used shut down without much notice (in fact, the only way I found out was that I visited their site months later, trying to figure out why I hadn't been able to connect).

The #hotel I was using had a local provider that blocked #Fediverse instances (including Mastodon.Social), #Diaspora, #XMPP, #IRC, and a certain mail provider that I still use. They did not block: #Facebook, #Twitter, #GMail, or Outlook / #Hotmail

Because I couldn't connect to the VPN, I discovered how many perfectly normal sites were blocked because they weren't on the top 100 list. I went downstairs and informed the front desk that I would be leaving their establishment because of their blocking.

I received a phone call from their networking vendor, who logged into their router and proxy and turned off filtering on a list of about 25 sites they'd blocked.

But the point is, the hotel and its provider cannot be trusted not to fsck with your data. Always use a VPN.

"But that leaves many people pretty surprised to find out that I have been pretty actively arguing against every single metaverse effort that we have tried to spin up internally in the company, from even pre-acquisition times," Carmack says.
"I want it to exist, but I have pretty good reasons to believe that setting out to build the metaverse is not actually the best way to wind up with the metaverse."

I closed my #Facebook account years ago. I have never regreted it. I lost contact with a nephew that didn't use any other channel, but that fixed itself later.

I considered opening an #Instagram account back when #A1's baby pictures were being posted there, but I decided not to join.

As Facebook focused more on walls than garden, trying to motivate me to rejoin so I can see some content, I have never been tempted.

I had heard people talking about a #Facebook outage. Now I see #Cloudflare’s post about it:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/october-2021-facebook-outage/

#DNS changes preceded (and later ended) the outage.

Now #real_talk: No matter how much you like Facebook, #Instagram, #Whatsapp, Facebook #Messenger … you need to make sure that you and your contacts have another active channel of communication that can be used in place of each of those. Because your communications and relationships with people you care about are too important to entrust them solely to one corporation.
