we have to take the steps to not use their platform, or better yet, start a Fediverse server of their own.
I was able to do it myself! the cost of running a Lemmy and Mastodon instance for myself is so cheap... I'm actually shocked more people aren't doing it!
Besides using the fediverse, how do we not allow it?
Mango Mussolini's flights are paid for by the tax payers through the USAF and those flights should be tracked.
Mango Mussolini
That's fucking brilliant
Oligarchs be oligarching
They can ban that but can't do anything about misinformation, scammers, bots and shit
They don't care to do anything about those
That's how you recognize bullshit. If there was a kernel of truth worth protecting the offending posts would be removed.
The irony of Meta/Facebook - infamous for tracking people online - being upset about jet tracking.
It's not even tracking... Tracking is what the FAA does, and makes publicly available. These accounts are just publishing the already-public information.
Fuck every one of these shitty billionaires. Fly commercial if you don't want to be tracked publicly.

Rules and laws are only for the peasantry. Your level of freedom is proportional to your wealth, so Meta has a whole lotta Freedom™️

This is why we need to bring back the old internet, not this corposhit.
I remember when you didn’t have to type carefully in the comments.
I had my comments removed over and over again on a video about Kurt Cobain recently. I had to type something like, “When he decided to take a vacation away from the planet earth with a traditional 20th century raygun that fired ammunition meant for birds rather than rays or lasers meant for people and space aliens.”
Meanwhile, “the Jews control all information and have space lasers and and and they put chemicals in the water that turn the frogs gay” and the like doesn’t get removed.
What a world.
We live in an era where the truth is the most offensive thing you can say..... Or anything funny... or... really anything outside of being overly moronic or hateful
@[email protected] is still functional, for those who want to follow from the Fediverse.

This all feels very Streisand Effect. I don’t care about these accounts, but the more attempts there are to suppress them… the more they feel important.
Zuckerberg’s $300 million mega yacht may be tracked here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9857511
It is currently in San Diego at Broadway Pier. Which was also confirmed by yesterday’s news of a methed up Florida man being arrested at gun point for sneaking aboard and throwing things off into the water LOL https://youtu.be/L7nnKn1W4Mw

Fuck corporate social media
Seriously threads and bluesky are false promises, the rest of the fediverse might grow and innovate slowly but it is genuine growth on genuinely community owned platforms.
Bluesky and threads are visions of the past wearing the future's clothes. They are investor backed and fundamentally and irrevocably for profit ventures.
Do not be seduced into wasting your time in stuck in the past, this is a perfect reminder we already know where it will end no matter what their precariously employed devs say.

Freeze Speech ftw!
Just make a damn website already
It's public information transmitted over airwaves and several sites exist already. Flightradar24 and adsbexchange are the two I use, though Elon and Taylor Swift are far too boring to pay attention to when you can watch refuelers and jets instead.

Billionaires are celebrities now? Like that's true for Taylor Swift, but Bezos?
If you know their name, they are probably a celebrity. That's kind of the definition

Zuck creating a safe-space for billionaire private jet owners on Meta isn't something I ever thought I would read, but here we are.

But when you report obvious fake accounts that merely exist for 5 days, follow 5000 people already and only have 3 followers themselves but a nice spammy link in their profile, they allegedly don’t violate any terms of services…

Corporate censorship. These companies are too powerful and tyrannical.
