This is a screenshot from Facebook (taken today). It's a sponsored ad that appears near the interface's real notifications to look like a genuine notification, but is actually a link to a scam.

I've seen it before. I've even seen someone fall for it and click it before.

Let's all pat ourselves on the shoulder today for using Mastodon. And then let's consider making a donation to this wonderful platform: joinmastodon.org/sponsors

An screenshot of what looks like notification and alerts from Facebook, sponsored within Facebook, but is actually an ad to a non-Facebook link. It also says "Breaking (1) must-see message is waiting for you!"

Bon après avoir supprimé plus de 110 000 tweets de ma veille sur #Twitter #X je suis passé à la même opération sur #Facebook sur ma page et mon compte. C'est long de supprimer tous ces post, il n'y a pas de "sélectionner tous" et SUP. Sur #Firefox j'ai installé l'extension #CheckThemAll pour cocher les cases plus facilement mais ça reste chronophage. Si vous avez une autre solution merci d'avance de la partager #quitFacebook

Welp, it just happened. #Zuck became the most followed person in the #Fediverse with a follower count of more than 4 times that of @Mastodon itself

Of course, those are only rough numbers. Most of the people following him are on Threads, and many do not even know anything about decentralized social platforms (or care). People outside of Threads that are following him are few (including myself, now*).

But this is more of a symbolic thing. Once other profiles enable the Fediverse integration, we'll be seeing more and more Threads profiles topping the charts. Or maybe not, who knows. I already start to see many profiles on Threads that stopped posting since quite a while, and I'm wondering if they're still active. Many people on other centralized platforms just call Threads dead already, lol.

OTOH, even the overall atmosphere on Threads just seems to be... subpar to say the least. I really don't feel I could learn anything from the people out there, apart from a few dozen interesting profiles that are simply just hard to find - they were hard to find on Insta, they are hard to find there as well. If, for whatever reason, Threads were to simply turn the federation off abruptly, I wouldn't feel anything of value would be lost apart from these profiles, at least for me. I wonder how long it will take until it will be just another enshittified, ad-ridden, useless platform, just like the other two in #Meta's portfolio are, all filled with trolls, bots, scammers and propaganda accounts of the Kremlin-backed modern far-right that spread the lies and nonsense.

If you have a presence on Mastodon, yet you'd also love to try out Threads, you're not missing anything. Really. This place is just way better, and it centers not around advertisers, but around you.

*you traitor, how dare you follow the Satan over this place? well, I actually thought it out for a bit. And I don't know if I'll keep the follow on the long term either. But this is just part of my way to #quitfacebook, as funny as it may seem. It is just one of the many active accounts/pages that I still follow on that cesspit, so I thought, why not.

I also have a habit of checking my profile from various servers, and I'm having a hard time seeing even my popular posts. So I can say #Friendica keeps me quite protected from the aforementioned. Plus that Meta doesn't have any ads to serve me around this place.

I'm asking some deep dive questions about the scale-ability of Mastodon (relays, global search, future projections) in this thread and already got some interesting answers:

reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments

I replied to the answers with further questions.

If anyone with a Reddit account wants to chime in over there, feel free to do so. Otherwise, feel free to reply right here on Mastodon with relevant links or insights. Thank you!
