Hello BlueSky!
It's been a couple of years since I left conventional social media, so am just getting back into this.
Currently living in the northwest of England, into techy stuff, outdoor activities and like to get out and be social.
Say hi, I'm always open to learning and meeting new people 🤗

🚨 Join hundreds donating to piss off Elon Musk🚨

We're a small group of volunteers and we don't have tech bros to fund our secret plans, but we've got each other!

Chip in to fund new actions in the UK like our viral ads:

It's only Nazi's left on Twitter at this point, right? Right???

Also if Elon hates it, we should be using it 😂😂

Are you still on #facebook, #instagram and #whatsapp? Are you comfortable funding a company and the worlds 2nd richest CEO when there are fantastic alternatives out there?

Use #Signal, #Mastodon, #Bluesky, #Matrix instead, and don't give your friends the option of remaining complicit in this BS.

It is done. My WhatsApp account has now been fully deleted, and for the first time since 2009, I'm completely free of any Meta apps 🎉

From here on, 95% of my communications will be over #Signal and #Matrix

Meta tracks your activity across millions of websites and apps, regardless of whether you use its platforms, and profits from that data through targeted ads. Here’s what you need to know if you want to limit the company’s ability to harvest and profit from your personal data.
Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data
If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect ...

There's a movement gathering on Mastodon to get people switching off #Meta apps on Feb 1st. A lot of people seem to forget that #WhatsApp is owned by them too. #Signal has nearly the same features with far stronger privacy and is operated by a non profit, and not a Nazi billionaire. #LeaveMeta

Apparently all the American normies are flocking over to some other TikTok-like app called RedNote.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire 😂😂🤮

Has anyone successfully managed to migrate away from WhatsApp? I'm hoping to do so in the next couple of weeks, and after doing so I'll no longer have any Meta crap I have to use.
If there's any tips or tricks to getting friends to use a better platform, I'd love to hear them!

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.
Scoop: I obtained a confidential presentation outlining how a major conservative think tanks plans to go after volunteer editors on Wikipedia who it says are "abusing their position" and promoting antisemitism

Scoop: Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors
The conservative think tank told prospective donors that the project was part of its work to combat antisemitism.

On Meta moderation now allowing "LGBTQ is a mental illness" posts.
I personally think the only mental illness in question here is all these billionaires and CEO's who can't think of anything else except making as much money as possible. Zucc only wants to keep in orange blob's good books. Fuck #meta

Can't sleep, but at least I've got a new app to explore 🦋 Also decided to randomly buy a domain name, as you do 😅
Best try again, don't want to be too miserable at work tomorrow.
