A few weeks ago:
“Hey, we at Facebook taking privacy serious now.”

Yesterday:
“Facebook saved millions of passwords in plain text”

Just quit.

What is your opinion about #Openbook?

Seems like a #Facebook alternative, but it is:

* centralized - they say they want to decentralize in the future and talk about #Solid from Tim Berners Lee (that's far from ready), but not #Activitypub.
* not clear which parts are open-source.

They claim to respect privacy, but I see no way how to check that.

I'm also wondering how they are going to be financed in the future. I see crowd-funding now, but they are specifically not non-profit, cause they want to keep the option open to raise money for future growth. In other words; they are looking for venture capital.

what #facebook looks like to the rest of the #internet

Facebook’s new move isn't about #privacy. It’s about #domination | #convergence #encryption #facebook #instagram #messaging #messenger #whatsapp https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/07/facebook-privacy-domination

Some things that I have noticed since I quit #Facebook:

- My family still loves me and still talks to me
- Old friends from high-school still talk to me
- Old friends from college still talk to me
- I still meet new people
- I still make new friends
- I still shop at local businesses
- I'm still aware of events in my community

Huh, it's almost like I never needed Facebook in the first place.

#Microsoft #Edge has a secret whitelist that allows #facebook to bypass security features and click-to-play for #flash content. Where's my surprised face? https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-edge-lets-facebook-run-flash-code-behind-users-backs/ via @fribbledom@twitter.com
