Awful to see our personal privacy and social lives being ransomed like this. €10 seems like a price gouge for a social media site, and I’m even seeing a price tag of 150SEK (~€15) In Sweden.

    Is it a good news for alternative social media ?

    I mean now that people have to pay to use facebook, wouldn’t they move to the fedi ?

    Also do we want the racist uncle and the boomer memes on the fedi ?

      You can still choose to use the “free” version where you have to accept all the cookies, trackers and I don’t know what else.

        True, that part never changed. I’m not using any Facebook social networks, so it doesn’t affect me. But adding more options doesn’t seem like a bad thing to me, even though the price seems pretty steep.

          Shit thing for me, I use it to reach guests and make announcements for the restaurant. Sucks but that’s where most people still get local information.

      People don’t have to pay though. The general idea that I hear from most is, that by accepting, things will be as they habe always been. They don’t realise or seem to care thatbit has always been illegal
