• Mastodon provides the highest (over 12%) engagement under posts

  > whatever that Ruby-based alternative was, that Zuck famously invested in, but to which I have zero memory of the name right now I think you're referring to Diaspora. https://diasporafoundation.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_(social_network). - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Imgur Is About to Wipe a Ton of Porn From the Internet

  Maybe if reddit manages to kill itself, one of the decentralized projects like diaspora will expand. Source: about 1 year ago

• Twitter will remove accounts created solely to promote other social platforms

  I remember making similar comments about Diaspora vs Facebook a decade ago, but people are... lazy. Yeah, let's go with lazy. Source: over 1 year ago

• Who's still on Facebook?

  This browser add-on successfully helps you customize facebook and block some of its annoying features. Meanwhile I use it to keep tabs on friends, family, former colleagues, and others, for "free". It remains useful as a social utility for me. Source: over 1 year ago

• What was your reason for giving up (stop posting) on Facebook?

  Its unpleasantries can be mitigated some with a browser add-on, FBPurity, that lets you selectively hide annoying aspects of their interface (videos, ads not already blocked by a decent ad blocker, games, etc.). That makes it tolerable to keep using. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do I edit my settings to stop seeing people's stories while scrolling through my facebook feed? I want to know how to do it for andriod and PC.

  On the pc, I use fb purity, it has an option to block stories, plus it also blocks sponsored posts, and many other facebook annoyances : https://fbpurity.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Unfollow Everything developer banned for life from Facebook services for creating plug-in to clean up news feed

  This developer was also harassed by Facebook, with legal threats, etc. You can't even type in "fbpurity.com" in Messenger (try it) it's banned -- among other things they censor. Source: over 2 years ago

• With Facebook down, how will Boomers spend their free time?

  If and when facebook returns, I strongly suggest this browser add-on to help tailor facebook and block the content it strives to shove into your face. Source: over 2 years ago
