Hopefully they'll do that, so people would stop using their platform and move to a less money-hungry unetichal alternative.
What would the alternative be? A genuine question. I'm not a Facebook fan at all but here in Denmark so much is on Facebook. Announcements of the local playground, cafés, events, almost everyone uses messenger. It's insane. And if it's not on FB then it's on Instagram.
Isn't mastodon/the fediverse sponsored by the German government? Maybe we could do something around that
I don't know. But mastadon is hardly an alternative to Facebook or Instagram.
Yeah, it feels like there's no alternative.
I only hope Facebook will be bad enough that people would even want to seek another alternative.
Otherwise I don't see people switch.
All of those are outside activities, right? In my town we have flyers and stuff in a few different locations. At times I get annoyed I can't find information about events online, and then I think no it's actually a good thing.
Just don't? If I need to use Facebook to interact with something I just rather spend my time on almost anything else.
