I've seen this on four social networks in the #Fediverse now in just over a week - #ActivityPub, #ZOT, #nostr, and #Movim/XMPP. These memes are going around, but what about those privacy disrespecting, deprecated legacy silos like #Faceplant, #Twitter, and #InstaSPAM or #Reddit - Why is it that we're preaching to the choir instead of to the sinners of the #SunnyVale_Syndrome?

Go forth, save those poor souls over on the silos, Tell them that they're pork bellies. Muahahaha!

Was joggt der Scholz auch mit #Augenklappe? Kein Wunder dass er einen #Faceplant hinlegt. 😁

A serious #faceplant from Mischief right now. She isn't quite ready to embrace her inner #Caturday child just yet.

Exactly how I feel about #social_media in general - I have more than enough to do throughout the #Fediverse (every aspect of the things in life occur here)... So why would I waste my otherwise free time on things like Twitter or #Faceplant or #InstaSPAM?

Thank you so much for your input and valuable insight! 👍

I recently saw a request from someone describing themselves as a prolific photographer in the #Fedilab #Matrix support room, asking if the devs could add a feature to use the EXIF data for the alt tags - they cited extremely non-trivial effort to do that manually.

It obviously issn't for everyone, with most folks preferring to fill out the alt data for the images they upload themselves, but it made a lot of sense for a #prolific_uploader of images in #Fediverse posts.

I'm glad you brought this up, because it's exactly what I was thinking when I became aware that stripping the EXIF data was the default on #Friendica, and disabling that feature is an "opt-out" option.

I don't even know if there's still such a site as #Foursquare, but about ten years ago it was a popular "check-in" site that integrated with #Faceplant.

You would basically do a check-in wherever you were and people could track you via lat/lon or physical address or the business name IIRC, and you could include pics too I think - that's one use case.

Another very good one, snapping a pic and then later uploading it as a Fediverse post in #Friendica (there's an OSM geolocation plugin), which I gather could generate a map based on the EXIF data in their photo.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen pics and wondered where the photos were taken. #Pixelfed should have such an option (does it?) w/OSM mapping toggle on upload.

I don't think any other Fediverse server platforms have that.

Extrapolating that EXIF data for the alt tags in photos uploaded as part of posts (with corresponding maps even) sounds like a great idea - but preferably not as a default setting lolz.

On another note, there's a shitload of really stupid dope farmers here in Humboldt county posting pics of their weed fields on #InstaSPAM, and then wondering why they're getting helicopter flyovers and "Abatement Letters" from the county, followed by the caravans that roll up the mountain, raid, and destroy their crops lolz.

That's what apps like #ImagePipe are for (stripping EXIF data before posting publicly). ImagePipe is available at F-Droid, BTW. 😜

This is actually called the #AOL_effect...

Or at least it's was before #Faceplant was a thang.

Whatever you wanna call it today, #Network_effect, #separation_anxiety, or the original of all adages, #vendor_lockin - a prison designed and perfected by campaigns of #FUD by #IBM (a phrase coined by Dr. Amdahl himself), Simon gives you the straight dope on confronting your fears and apprehensions in this next article:

Tesla huge #Faceplant.

@amerika @Gargron

That's certainly the topic in a lot of the dev circles, with this big push to make a couple of the mastodon instances into big monolithic silos - just like #Faceplant, #Twatter, and #IInstaSPAM.

That, and the branding strategy with three word #Fediverse mostly scrubbed from his masto branded websites, like a slap in the face to the community.

It's not good to continue encouraging people to believe it's the only component of the network, themselves becoming really confused when they begin meeting folks on other types of Fediverse server platforms - especially when the model is to promote greater numbers of smaller instances instead of monoliths that stand in stark contrast to decentralization.

With the other platforms already supporting federated chat and groups the relevance of mastodon is dubious.

I see that there is a late entrant for the hotly contested 2022 #faceplant award.
Congratulations to Greta for providing the stick.

@opethminded yes - run the successful once trillion dollar start-up into the valuation graveyard - now valued at $385B. #faceplant

Yesterday, at the age of 53, I tried to jump over a little brook while #skiing and caught one of my tips on the far bank. Right before this happened, as I was building speed to try and make the jump, some guy goes, "This old guy still has it!"

One #faceplant later I proved him wrong.

@jon @w3c

Having your company presence residing on #Faceplant or #LinkedIn is like all the pretty trees living in Central Park.

As one elderly Indian woman from Canada visiting her son in NYC said in response to him suggesting she take a walk in Central Park to see the trees...

"See? Now they've even put the trees on #reservations."
