Amazing for motivation: “Everyone is unhappy; the only people who are not unhappy are, literally, executives,” an Instagram employee told WIRED”

That is just where we want Meta ;)

This one is just so funny haha 🤣 🤣 🤣 "It doesn’t appear to be working too well – a 12yo kid fooled it by using an eyebrow pencil to draw a fake mustache …"

Means nothing to me since I only use Mastodon, Lemmy and Bluesky (personally) ;)

This is one of the best articles I've read in a very long time.

I have been banging on about this now for at least a couple of years. Much as been written about what is ailing Meta at the moment; yet, strip all that away lies, at its root, a lack of integrity, common decency and humility, and a large dose of cynicism that defines the character of its founder, Mark Zuckerberg. They say a company's culture starts with the man, or woman, at the top, and so it has come to pass.

From the very beginning, with the original premise of FB being intended to rate women on their sexual desirability, the seeds of its eventual demise were planted. They are now reaping the bitter harvest that he, and he alone, sowed.

Just found this post on Mastodon and thought it's something for Y'all: https://mastodon.social/@danyork/116511753802210926

I've noticed I'm having difficulty posting using a VPN. Is this specific to Lemmy?

What is a company like Meta to do when it notices that 10% of it's income comes from advertising scams, illegal gambling & products? ENCOURAGE IT & RAISE THE PRICES FOR THE CRIMINALS - OF COURSE!

Sadly the good times eventually had to end: The Consumer Federation of America is going after Meta for it now!

🤖 Honestly you can't make this up:

Human Robot #Zuckerberg is gonna put an #AI based smart keylogger on his employees computers.

Nothing says we don't trust you and don't appreciate you like a regular screenshot of your work screen.

No more NSFW! Welcome to the future baby!

Guess them employees are gonna get a taste of their own medicine for once.

Seems like everything is going according to plan.

Use the employees data to train MaiRK, so Meta can finally become a synonym for MaiRK. https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/116402482806274908

Eventually we will only see his superintelligence controlling everything. https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/115871208581092120

Narcissism 2026 version 😋

If you are thinking: Wouldn't this make people quit? Meta is banking on it: https://www.reuters.com/world/meta-targets-may-20-first-wave-layoffs-additional-cuts-later-2026-2026-04-17/

Hello Lemmy (www.reddit.com)

I am creator of DeMeta tools list on r/DeMeta and I am now testing Lemmy. Maybe I could consider using Lemmy for this list. What do you think about it? Edit: If you see it, editing works.

"the company admitted it likely won’t be able to keep up with competing models."

"As such, the announcement is a bit of an enigma: if it can’t keep up with the competition, why release it at all? There’s a good change Meta is just trying to get its foot in the door — or a “seat at the big kid’s table,” as Wired put it. The company has struggled to stay relevant in a rapidly changing landscape" "Meta’s preceding Llama open source models largely failed to catch on, with a major controversy last year finding that Meta may have faked benchmark results to make its Llama 4 model seem more capable than it actually was."

Would make it much easier for them to do their evil deeds and us to aim our "activism" at them ;)
