My guess is the writers are here among us and don’t want it to become a cesspool. It’s their safe haven. Just a guess though.
If we’re strictly speaking about “Meta alternatives” that means we’re looking specifically for replacements for Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Threads. “Just don’t have Facebook”, Signal, Pixelfed and Mastodon/Bluesky are direct replacements for those. Lemmy is a Reddit replacement which doesn’t have anything to do with Mark “I am actually a lizard” Zuckerberg.

I mean come on, we’ve got weird uncles with questionable perspectives.
Pretty sure we’re a joke to everybody
Say what you want about John Oliver, he’s not always right, and doesn’t nearly cover everything about a topic ever, but he’s out there doing good work for the people.
We need a decentralized, general marketplace.

There’s a Lemmy community for it fyi: !flohmarkt@lemmy.ca
Yeah, I’ve seen that but no US instances, let-alone local-ish ones.
I honestly think everyone should go back to Craigslist.
Maybe this will actually make you ever so slightly less valuable to meta in the short term (presuming they honor your choices for these settings), but they’re still going to continue harvesting your data and can change their minds at any point in the future. Only way to truly become less valuable is to disappear from their gaze.
Tweaking a couple settings is a pretty tame way to fight Meta.
Organise a move from Meta/FB/Insta to the fediverse together with your folks, and close the accounts. This way you don’t loose important contacts during the move, and Meta loose more users.
Or only post nonsense and AI slop.
Isn’t that just their regular content?
I would like a VR headset that is comparable in hardware and price to the Quest 3, that also isnt owned by ByteDance. Pretty much only two options; Meta’s Quest 3 or ByteDance’s Pico 4. 😞
I am not into VR stuff but is the VR headset made by Valve not good?
It’s definitely dated and much more expensive for that older hardware. And that’s only in the US. If you live outside of the US, grey market import only and way more expensive.
Its extremely expensive and a bit dated because it needs external lighthouses.
Those are so cheap because they’re subsidized with your data. They get all kinds of fun metrics with vr headsets
Maybe I’m blind but I don’t see a Meta alternatives section.

For purely political reasons. These users will join and then forget about it after a week because the platforms are different.
Defeatism is exhausting. We have to try everything we can think of and fight Oligarchy from every angle we can
