    #Corpocentric #socnet site #TikTok's targeting convinces woman to consult medical professional, confirm ADHD diagnosis.


    Still, I'd rather not have sites knowing so much.

    1. TikTok accidentally detected my ADHD. For 23 years everyone missed the warning signs | Matilda Boseley
      from https://www.theguardian.com/profile/matilda-boseley
      Learning you have ADHD on TikTok is now such a common phenomenon it has become its own meme, but it can be tricky

    From a few years back, there is a #P2P #socnet application called #Twister.

    I haven’t used it in years, but I do plan to revisit Twister (and #BitMessage) to see what has changed. No timeline for doing so.

    I'm hearing that #Google and #Apple are removing the apps for the #Parler #socnet from the #Android PlayStore and the #iOS AppStore.

    I'd argue that given their duopoly on mobile operating systems, the power to arbitrarily kick someone out is scary (regardless of how deserving Parler might be; I'm not even sure I've seen a screenshot of the site). I'd argue that this is evidence that the mobile OS and app store groups of both companies need to be split up, so that competition can come ... including strong competition for mobile app stores on each platform.

    Again, Parler may deserve it, especially if their users used the socnet to organize their insurrection attempt. (Though I suspect many of them probably used odious #corpocentric sites like #Twitter or #Facebook, which are not being punished.)

      from https://www.facebook.com/lifewire/
      MeWe is a champion of internet and personal privacy, blocking all data mining and serving no ads. But is that a good trade off for oversight?

    1. Trump is moving forward with his plan to regulate social media
      from Brian Fung, CNN Business
      The Trump administration took a key step on Monday toward fulfilling the president's executive order on social media, formally asking the FCC to develop regulations that could apply to Facebook, Twitter and other tech platforms.

      from The Privacy Foundation
      Yet another nod to the reasons for #decentralized social media platforms like #mastodon. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/27/tech/fcc-social-media-petition/index.html (link has trackers, disable in browser) As a start... If you are in the #fediverse, make regular backups of your data to ensure that you can rebuild if necessary. Use platforms that use end to end (#E2E) #encryption to avoid getting caught up in dragnet style actions. Maintain your #privacy by using pseudonyms. Delete / do not share location information.

      Twitter temporarily shuts down for some users.

    Before I slam #Node.JS entirely, I should admit that I’m considering making one implementation of my #vaporware #socnet project with Node. (There were _two_ such project in mind, but it looks like the source for the other vaporware project [in Python / Django] may have been deleted when #BitBucket dropped #Hg repositories. I was just going to take over where the original person left off, but if I’d need to rewrite it from scratch, it is no longer the same project and I may as well just implement it as part of the other project)

    When #GeoCities announced they were closing, I reset my password so I could delete my long-abandoned site before it got archived.
    .
    In general, I think #socnet posts should be ephemeral. I’d even prefer that most posts auto-delete after a certain time period. Yes, there are always people who may save the content (so relying on deletion for after-the-fact privacy is not a good idea, and you should still be watching what you reveal in your postings), but expiration and deletion should be the general rule.
    .
    Would you really want someone to dig up something you posted in an AOL chatroom in 1997? You aren’t even the same person as you were then.
    .
    Archiving without specific opt-in permission? No, no, a thousand times no.

    Certain "folk" came to the #fediverse after their centralized home was dropped again by its hoster because it allowed the kind of content they post. Then they get angry about being kicked off of various instances here. Well instead of expecting someone else to take the risk, they should host their own #federated #socnet instance or use a #P2P platform.

    @alpacaherder Something else you might want to look into. Do you remember an e-mail service called Juno from the 1990s? Users would write outgoing messages offline, then briefly connect to send and receive messages (and ads). It allowed users to communicate without paying for a full Internet connection. (This was also the days of dial-up.)

    There's a #socnet that seems to have a similar concept called #Scuttlebutt.
