The approach is usually a federated system using an open-source platform. Less people using these services, however, in general the content quality is way higher and less political. Current For-Users-By-Users platforms I use are: GNU Social

But this does not justify keeping a profile and continuing to use it in the future. I was lucky enough to see this coming a mile away, I deleted mine 5+ years ago. Faceobook has my pictures/contact list/private messages/thoug

Surely the reason he is being invited is not because he has an account on an online platform. We are in a hyperconnected world where an infinite number of ways to communicate exist. You don't need to rely on a single closed-garden plat

I am sure that MZ is the latter. F*book is a farce. You are the problem. Be the change you want to see. Reach out to people other ways for events. FFS, you are connected 24x7 to the internet, not facebook exclusively, never in the history o

Ouch, facebook faces a fine of 250,000 euros ($269,000) a day if it doesn’t comply with the ruling, the court said in an e-mailed statement Monday. Does anyone know if f *book appealed this?

The phone is best way to get a hold of someone. Other than that, linkedin is more formal, but more easily searchable. Facebook is composed of spam, resposted memes from 4chan, and a ton of inactive accounts, IMHO.

Perhaps you should read more about what it means to classify ISP telecommunication providers as title two common carriers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_carrier this is not about the government trying to regulate

What is with the influx of link-bait articles on this website? This is y-combinator not The Sun tabloid.

Don't be so naive to think that YOU are the only one who can potentially read and sift through all your facebook information. The is empirical evidence that any one who pays for it, can has access to it, not even to mention nation-st

I deleted my facebook account in highschool and have never looked back. The melodrama and immature antics are hilarious to observe, I'm so glad that I'm not a part of all that.

I disagree with your comment, the massive ocean gyres and global weather patterns will be severely impacted, with results that are totally unpredictable, including a drastic mix of ecosystems and acidification of the oceans. On top of this.

If we accept the small invasion of privacy now, and accept it as the norm, what are the implications for the future?

If you cannot deal with controversy and criticism, regardless of its merits, do the yourself a favor and stay at home away from danger and critics.

Right, well I don't know what you mean, leaking it back out. Surely not atmospheric carbon dioxide. At any rate, bamboo also.

No do not be sad, fortunately we have a robust, state of the art, highly refined and efficient device for removing cO2 from the atmosphere, they're called trees.

Facebook has the best news stream. Period. This is delusional and a little spooky. I deleted my facebook account around the same time my Aunts began creating accounts. I have never looked back. It is repulsive how superficial and politica

The argument here is that the protocol itself is independent and can run on the internet like bittorrent, IRC, SMTP, XMPP etc. This is not about the physical laws and resources governing the internet.

This argument that the alternative to using Roundup is thousands of deaths per year from tractors rolling over would be laughable, if not coming from a paid shill. Tractor roll over deaths were eliminated by the 3-point hitch in the 1940&#x
