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 and profit from your personal data, here’s what you need to know.

    Mad at meta?

    Open your Instagram or Facebook app

    Yeah, keep on using facebook and twitter, I’m sure they’ll be pissed.

      What did I post that was wrong?

      This article was a bunch of BS with no actual help. (Very disappointing, because they’re usually a lot better than this).

      Nothing in that article would make any difference whatsoever. Meta would still track you, unabated, even with those changes.

        I agree it is, but I removed the comment due to ableism.

            Using xtard as an insult is against the rules, I probably should have specified in my original comment.

    Don’t use any Meta shit. Or talk yourself into why your use case is so important that it out weighs the bad stuff.

    Now I know I'm being used
That's okay man 'cause I like the abuse

    Everyone keeps posting this kind of stuff, but offers no viable alternative for a local social media platform. I’m a musician and rely on these platforms to promote events and music. There are no viable alternatives at this point.

    I like the idea of decentralized sites, but no one is on them right now.

      Don’t feel bad in your case. Network effect is still there, and concerts will be the last things that will move from Facebook.

      QR code and website.

      Lemmy/Mastodon

      Call people.

      Or, just stay under the devil. It’s not like anyone’s going to make any effort.

        None of those are anywhere near as effective. You can blame the users, but the ones in charge and the politicians that let it happen are shitty, not the users.
