If you needed any more evidence of the amoral and socially deviant culture of Facebook and other Meta companies, this insiders tell all will nail it. And it is only recounting the descent until 2017. Imagine how much worse things are now. If you are on algorithmically controlled Social Media - leave now for the #fediverse #mastodon The usual suspects: #meta #facebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #wynnwilliams and more. I don't know how many #enshittified SM's there are...

The latest #Pebble blog post reminds me of why I’m backing this project: ericmigi.com/blog/gratitude-an

On the one hand, Pebble proved to the world that smartwatches are a thing, and now there are several out there, but most are slick, locked-down things.

The new Pebble is a scrappy, tiny company, building a watch that is specifically open-source, extensible and repairable, with the visible-in-sunlight screen and massive battery life I love. It's nicely anti-#enshittified…

@david yeah, every #car after 2016 is #enshittified like that!

Does it also nag you about databsharing like a #Peugeot2008 ?

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)Attached: 1 image RANT: Yet another reason why I'll never buy a new car in my life - I had a rental (#Peugeot2008) which is one of these garbage *"#Crossover" / #SuperUselessVehicles* that are *PHAT* outside but crammed af inside due to a needlessly *W I D E* center console and barely adjustable driver seat and steering wheel. - This car is basically impossible to reverse without staring at it's backup camera as it has a giant-ass deadzone behind it. - It's shitty front allows children to hide even easier than the rear and makes parking even more stressful But what made my blood boil is the obnoxiousness with which it's shitty tablet decided to randomly (!), whilst driving >50km/h to just pop up a demand for #tracking bs, offering only "allow" and "later" instead of a "no thanks" / "don't ask me again" option. - Shit like this can literally *kill* people as they fiddle around trying to dismiss it. - I had it pop up 2x (!) within 5 mins (!!) on the same (!!!) trip [not pulling ignition key!] And at the 2nd time decided to pull over to document this shit. This kind of #Enshittification in the form of a #Car comitting an *"Exhaustion Attack"* against it's *own driver* needs to be outlawed, not mandated!

@jon switching away from big tech is a long process for me. Switching web browser was easy. I ditched facebook, messenger and twitter years ago, when those services became #enshittified beyond a threshold acceptable to me.
I left WhatsApp (last meta service) weeks ago. This was hard. I've been using Signal for years, but most of my family and friends still don't.
Leaving Google is a project by itself. My private and professional life got very entangled with it. But I'm nearly there! :)

I am on the verge of buying an e-ink screen for an #esp32 board and start a vendetta against #garmin by making a foretrex of my own that will be used as an #aprs/lora and whatnot terminal besides navigation.

While #foretrex is still the least #enshittified device Garmin makes, it having bluetooth and can do crap with it drives me crazy. My radio, my gps, my pc have BT and non can talk to each other.

What do you think?

@pluralistic Maybe the collective action problem gets easier in small increments. Like intermittent fasting, but for toxic and #enshittified social media platforms.

I'm deleting all Meta platforms for at least a week. And I'm looking forward to the attention span I get back from just focusing on the Fediverse and real life.

Let's try this again. 😅

"There needs to be a word for rejection of #enshittified corporate tech in favour of open tech with no agenda beyond its nominal function.

The term 'neo-Luddism' doesn't feel right.

Any suggestions?"
@flockofnazguls

Original thread that brought up a couple options. I like that #FediPunk also includes supporting #Fediverse artists. What do you think?
