ophiocephalic 🐍<p>In his recent FediCon talk, Evan Prodromou implicitly rationalized his collaboration with Meta by proclaiming, "you don't negotiate with friends". Maybe not, but you don't hand enemies the keys to your kingdom either, which is exactly what he has done by giving Meta seats at the table of the ActivityPub working group. And for that matter, accepting a relatively significant sum of money from those enemies to fund your foundation goes rather beyond the negotiation phase as well, does it not?</p><p>As it stands, we have a hostile element enmeshed in the development process which undergirds the entire network, all the while systematically violating every last consent boundary the fedi has defined and defended over the course of its history. This is a power imbalance so egregious and amoral that it negates the raison d'etre of the fediverse altogether. Meta must be removed from SWICG</p><p>🧵 3/3 end</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefederateMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefederateMeta</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FediPact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediPact</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zuckerberg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Threads</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Instagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Instagram</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialWebFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialWebFoundation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SWICG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SWICG</span></a></p>
ophiocephalic 🐍<p>The development process of the protocol is poisoned by the presence of Meta. Any significant revision the organization proposes will be perceived as an aspect of the Meta incursion, suspected and resisted, whatever its actual origin. The backlash to any perceived attempt by Meta to manipulate the backbone of the fedi could lead to an existential crisis. </p><p>Under these circumstances the only way to avoid such a backlash is to refrain from advancing protocol development at all, which is also unsustainable. The way out of this is the ejection of the Meta intruders from SWICG and any other working group which has an influence on the future of ActivityPub.</p><p>🧵 2/3</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefederateMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefederateMeta</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FediPact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediPact</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zuckerberg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Threads</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Instagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Instagram</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialWebFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialWebFoundation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SWICG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SWICG</span></a></p>
ophiocephalic 🐍<p>We already know that the Social Web Foundation and SWICG leadership will ignore the latest news of Meta's mass datacrime against the fediverse and continue enabling the parasitic Zuckerberg entity to influence the future of ActivityPub development by facilitating its presence on the W3C working group overseeing AP. This is not a sustainable arrangement. </p><p>There is absolutely no basis of trust whatsoever between the fediverse network of communities and Meta. The idea that representatives of this slimy fascist operation are insinuated into the organization shaping the next generation of the protocol underlying our network, while they simultaneously inflict nonconsenual predatory "AI" extractivism against us, is ludicrous and intolerable. This right here is the destruction of every single value the fediverse claims to stand for in one fell swoop.</p><p>🧵 1/3</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefederateMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefederateMeta</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FediPact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediPact</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zuckerberg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Threads</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Instagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Instagram</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialWebFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialWebFoundation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SWICG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SWICG</span></a></p>

Here’s an article article about the failed Facebook iPhone killer 😂

“What was the point of a smartphone focused on Facebook Home when you can get Facebook Home on several different -- and superior -- phones?

I get that the First was a showcase phone for Facebook's new software. But consumers don't want to buy a showcase piece; they want a real product.”

cnet.com/tech/mobile/heres-why

CNETHere's why the Facebook phone flopped<b>commentary</b> The HTC First has a lot going against it, despite support from some heavy hitters.

The only thing worse than intrusive ads being a foot away on my phone are ads being an inch away from my eyeball.

Amazingly shocking how uninnovative Meta/Facebook is, created essentially by accident, #Instagram and #WhatsApp were acquisitions and everything else they’ve made has bombed.

#Zuckerberg didn’t use #Apple’s name the other day when laying out his vision for marrying superintelligent AI and his hardware. He might as well have

The #Meta Platforms chief is just the latest in Silicon Valley to put a bull’s-eye on the #iPhone’s role as gatekeeper to the digital world.”
